اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 49
| لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِبَنِي قُورَحَ. مَزْمُورٌ اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. أَصْغُوا يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلدُّنْيَا، | ١ 1 |
To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
| عَالٍ وَدُونٍ، أَغْنِيَاءَ وَفُقَرَاءَ، سَوَاءً. | ٢ 2 |
Both low and high, together rich and needy.
| فَمِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِٱلْحِكَمِ، وَلَهَجُ قَلْبِي فَهْمٌ. | ٣ 3 |
My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
| أُمِيلُ أُذُنِي إِلَى مَثَلٍ، وَأُوضِّحُ بِعُودٍ لُغْزِي. | ٤ 4 |
I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
| لِمَاذَا أَخَافُ فِي أَيَّامِ ٱلشَّرِّ عِنْدَمَا يُحِيطُ بِي إِثْمُ مُتَعَقِّبِيَّ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
| ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ثَرْوَتِهِمْ، وَبِكَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُمْ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. | ٦ 6 |
Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
| ٱلْأَخُ لَنْ يَفْدِيَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ فِدَاءً، وَلَا يُعْطِيَ ٱللهَ كَفَّارَةً عَنْهُ. | ٧ 7 |
A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
| وَكَرِيمَةٌ هِيَ فِدْيَةُ نُفُوسِهِمْ، فَغَلِقَتْ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. | ٨ 8 |
And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased — to the age.
| حَتَّى يَحْيَا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فَلَا يَرَى ٱلْقَبْرَ. | ٩ 9 |
And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
| بَلْ يَرَاهُ! ٱلْحُكَمَاءُ يَمُوتُونَ. كَذَلِكَ ٱلْجَاهِلُ وَٱلْبَلِيدُ يَهْلِكَانِ، وَيَتْرُكَانِ ثَرْوَتَهُمَا لِآخَرِينَ. | ١٠ 10 |
For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
| بَاطِنُهُمْ أَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، مَسَاكِنَهُمْ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ. يُنَادُونَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ فِي ٱلْأَرَاضِي. | ١١ 11 |
Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
| وَٱلْإِنْسَانُ فِي كَرَامَةٍ لَا يَبِيتُ. يُشْبِهُ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ ٱلَّتِي تُبَادُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
| هَذَا طَرِيقُهُمُ ٱعْتِمَادُهُمْ، وَخُلَفَاؤُهُمْ يَرْتَضُونَ بِأَقْوَالِهِمْ. سِلَاهْ. | ١٣ 13 |
This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. (Selah)
| مِثْلَ ٱلْغَنَمِ لِلْهَاوِيَةِ يُسَاقُونَ. ٱلْمَوْتُ يَرْعَاهُمْ، وَيَسُودُهُمُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ. غَدَاةً وَصُورَتُهُمْ تَبْلَى. ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ مَسْكَنٌ لَهُمْ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٤ 14 |
As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. (Sheol h7585)
| إِنَّمَا ٱللهُ يَفْدِي نَفْسِي مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ لِأَنَّهُ يَأْخُذُنِي. سِلَاهْ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٥ 15 |
Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
| لَا تَخْشَ إِذَا ٱسْتَغْنَى إِنْسَانٌ، إِذَا زَادَ مَجْدُ بَيْتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
| لِأَنَّهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ كُلَّهُ لَا يَأْخُذُ. لَا يَنْزِلُ وَرَاءَهُ مَجْدُهُ. | ١٧ 17 |
For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
| لِأَنَّهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ يُبَارِكُ نَفْسَهُ، وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ إِذَا أَحْسَنْتَ إِلَى نَفْسِكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
| تَدْخُلُ إِلَى جِيلِ آبَائِهِ، ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُعَايِنُونَ ٱلنُّورَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. | ١٩ 19 |
It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
| إِنْسَانٌ فِي كَرَامَةٍ وَلَا يَفْهَمُ يُشْبِهُ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ ٱلَّتِي تُبَادُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
