Sabuurradii 49
1 Dadyowga oo dhammow, bal tan maqla, Dunida kuwiinna degganow, kulligiin dhegta u dhiga,
You people of all ethnic groups, listen! You people all over the world,
2 Kuwiinna hoose iyo kuwiinna sare, Taajirrada iyo masaakiintoy, dhammaantiin wada maqla.
important people and unimportant people, rich people and poor people, everyone, [listen to what I am saying],
3 Afkaygu wuxuu ku hadli doonaa xigmad, Qalbigayguna wuxuu ka fikiri doonaa waxgarasho.
[because] what I am thinking is very sensible, and what I say will enable you to become wise!
4 Dhegtayda waxaan u dhigi doonaa masaal, Xujadaydana waxaan ku muujin doonaa kataaradda.
I think about [MTY] (proverbs/wise sayings), and while I play my harp, I explain what they mean.
5 Haddaba bal maxaan u cabsanayaa wakhtiga shar jiro, Markii xumaanu cedhbahayga ku wareegsanto?
I am not [RHQ] afraid when I am in trouble/danger, when I am surrounded by my enemies,
6 Kuwa maalkooda isku halleeya, Oo ku faana hodantinimadooda faraha badan,
by evil men who trust that [things will always go well for them because] they are wealthy, and who boast about being very rich.
7 Midkoodna walaalkiis ma furan karo, Daraaddiisna Ilaah madaxfurasho uma siin karo,
[They may be rich], but no one can pay money with the result that he would live forever! No one can pay God enough so that God will allow him [to continue] to live,
8 (Waayo, furashada naftoodu waa qaali aad iyo aad, Kumana filna weligeedba, )
because that cost is too great, and he will never be able to pay enough
9 Inuu isagu weligiis sii noolaado, Oo aanu halligaad arkin weligiis.
with the result that he will live forever and never [die and] be buried!
10 Waayo, isagu wuxuu arkaa inay dadka xigmadda lahu wada dhintaan, Iyo in nacasyada iyo doqonnaduba ay wada baabba'aan, Oo ay maalkooda kuwa kale uga tagaan.
We see that foolish and stupid people die, but we see that wise people also die; they all leave their wealth, and others inherit it.
11 Waxay ismoodsiiyaan inay guryahoodu weligoodba sii jirayaan, Iyo in meelaha rugtooda ahu ay sii raagayaan tan iyo qarniyada oo dhan, Oo dhulalkoodana way isku magacaabaan.
Those wise people once had [houses on] land that they owned, [but now] their graves are their homes forever, the place where they will stay for all time!
12 Laakiinse binu-aadmigu sharaf kuma waaro, Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
Even if people are great, that cannot prevent them from dying; all people die, the same as animals do.
13 Jidkoodanu waa kalsoonidooda nacasnimada ah, Laakiinse dadka iyaga ka dambeeya ayaa hadalkoodii u boga. (Selaah)
That is what happens to those who foolishly trust [in what they have accomplished], to those who are delighted in [all] that they possess.
14 Iyagu waxaa weeye adhi She'ool loo wado, Oo waxaa sida adhijir u ahaan doona dhimasho, Oo kuwa qumman ayaa iyaga subaxda u talin doona, Oo quruxdoodana waxaa baabbi'in doona She'ool, inaanay iyagu rug yeelan innaba. (Sheol h7585)
They are certain to die just like sheep, when a shepherd leads them away to be slaughtered. [PRS, MET] In the morning righteous people will rule over them, and then [those wealthy people will die and] their bodies will quickly decay in their graves; they will be where dead people are, far from their homes. (Sheol h7585)
15 Laakiinse Ilaah naftayda wuu ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'ool, Waayo, wuu i aqbali doonaa. (Selaah) (Sheol h7585)
But it is certain that God will rescue me so that I am not kept in the place of the dead. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ha baqin markii mid taajiroobo, Oo ammaanta reerkiisu aad u korodho,
[So], do not be dismayed when someone becomes rich and the houses where they live become more and more luxurious,
17 Waayo, isagu markuu dhinto waxba sii qaadan maayo, Oo ammaantiisuna ka daba geli mayso.
because when he dies, he will take nothing with him; his wealth will not go with him.
18 In kastoo uu naftiisa u duceeyey markuu noolaa, Oo dad adiga ku ammaana, kolkaad wax wanaagsan isu samaysid,
While [a rich person] is alive, he congratulates himself, and people praise him for being successful,
19 Isagu wuxuu u tegi doonaa qarniyadii awowayaashiis, Oo iyana weligood iftiinka ma ay arki doonaan.
but he will [die], joining his ancestors, who will never see daylight again.
20 Ninkii sharaf leh oo aan garaad lahaynu Wuxuu la mid yahay sida xayawaanka iska baabba'a.
Even if someone is great, that cannot prevent him from dying; he will die, the same as animals do.
