< اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 49 >
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. مَزْمُورٌ اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. أَصْغُوا يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلدُّنْيَا، | ١ 1 |
To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
عَالٍ وَدُونٍ، أَغْنِيَاءَ وَفُقَرَاءَ، سَوَاءً. | ٢ 2 |
Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
فَمِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْحِكَمِ، وَلَهَجُ قَلْبِي فَهْمٌ. | ٣ 3 |
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
أُمِيلُ أُذُنِي إِلَى مَثَلٍ، وَأُوضِّحُ بِعُودٍ لُغْزِي. | ٤ 4 |
I will incline my ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
لِمَاذَا أَخَافُ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلشَّرِّ عِنْدَمَا يُحِيطُ بِي إِثْمُ مُتَعَقِّبِيَّ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Why should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall surround me?
ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ثَرْوَتِهِمْ، وَبِكَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُمْ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. | ٦ 6 |
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
ٱلْأَخُ لَنْ يَفْدِيَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِدَاءً، وَلَا يُعْطِيَ ٱللهَ كَفَّارَةً عَنْهُ. | ٧ 7 |
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
وَكَرِيمَةٌ هِيَ فِدْيَةُ نُفُوسِهِمْ، فَغَلِقَتْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | ٨ 8 |
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever: )
حَتَّى يَحْيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فَلَا يَرَى ٱلْقَبْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
بَلْ يَرَاهُ! ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ يَمُوتُونَ. كَذَلِكَ ٱلْجَاهِلُ وَٱلْبَلِيدُ يَهْلِكَانِ، وَيَتْرُكَانِ ثَرْوَتَهُمَا لِآخَرِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the stupid person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
بَاطِنُهُمْ أَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، مَسَاكِنَهُمْ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. يُنَادُونَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ١١ 11 |
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
وَٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِي كَرَامَةٍ لَا يَبِيتُ. يُشْبِهُ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ ٱلَّتِي تُبَادُ. | ١٢ 12 |
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
هَذَا طَرِيقُهُمُ ٱعْتِمَادُهُمْ، وَخُلَفَاؤُهُمْ يَرْتَضُونَ بِأَقْوَالِهِمْ. سِلَاهْ. | ١٣ 13 |
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. (Selah)
مِثْلَ ٱلْغَنَمِ لِلْهَاوِيَةِ يُسَاقُونَ. ٱلْمَوْتُ يَرْعَاهُمْ، وَيَسُودُهُمُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ. غَدَاةً وَصُورَتُهُمْ تَبْلَى. ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ مَسْكَنٌ لَهُمْ. (Sheol ) | ١٤ 14 |
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. (Sheol )
إِنَّمَا ٱللهُ يَفْدِي نَفْسِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ لِأَنَّهُ يَأْخُذُنِي. سِلَاهْ. (Sheol ) | ١٥ 15 |
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. (Selah) (Sheol )
لَا تَخْشَ إِذَا ٱسْتَغْنَى إِنْسَانٌ، إِذَا زَادَ مَجْدُ بَيْتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ كُلَّهُ لَا يَأْخُذُ. لَا يَنْزِلُ وَرَاءَهُ مَجْدُهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
لِأَنَّهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ، وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ إِذَا أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى نَفْسِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
تَدْخُلُ إِلَى جِيلِ آبَائِهِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُعَايِنُونَ ٱلنُّورَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٩ 19 |
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
إِنْسَانٌ فِي كَرَامَةٍ وَلَا يَفْهَمُ يُشْبِهُ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ ٱلَّتِي تُبَادُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
