Psalmi 49
1 Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Psalam. Poslušajte ovo, svi narodi, čujte, svi stanovnici zemlje,
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF THE SONS OF KORAH. Hear this, all you peoples, Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world.
2 vi, djeco puka, i vi, odličnici, bogati i siromašni zajedno!
Both low and high, together rich and needy.
3 Moja će usta zboriti mudrost, i moje srce misli razumne.
My mouth speaks wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
4 K poučnoj izreci priklonit ću uho, uz harfu ću izložit' svoju zagonetku.
I incline my ear to an allegory, I open my riddle with a harp:
5 Što da se bojim u danima nesreće kad me opkoli zloba izdajica
Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters surrounds me.
6 koji se u blago svoje uzdaju i silnim se hvale bogatstvom?
Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Show themselves foolish.
7 TÓa nitko sebe ne može otkupit' ni za se dati Bogu otkupninu:
A brother ransoms no one at all, He does not give to God his atonement.
8 životu je cijena previsoka, i nikada je neće platiti
And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it has ceased for all time.
9 tko želi živjeti dovijeka i ne vidjeti jamu grobnu.
And still he lives forever, He does not see the pit.
10 Jer, i mudri umiru, pogiba i luđak i bezumnik: bogatstvo svoje ostavlja drugima.
For he sees wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left their wealth to others.
11 Grobovi im kuće zasvagda, stanovi njihovi od koljena do koljena, sve ako se zemlje nazivale imenima njihovim.
Their heart [is that] their houses [are] for all time, Their dwelling places from generation to generation. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
12 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
And man does not remain in honor, He has been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
13 Takav je put onih koji se ludo uzdaju, to je konac onih koji uživaju u sreći:
This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity are pleased with their sayings. (Selah)
14 Poput stada redaju se u Podzemlju, smrt im je pastir, a dobri njima vladaju. Njihova će lika brzo nestati, Podzemlje će im biti postojbina. (Sheol h7585)
They have set themselves as sheep for Sheol, Death afflicts them, And the upright rule over them in the morning, And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for him. (Sheol h7585)
Only, God ransoms my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He receives me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
16 Ne boj se ako se tko obogati i ako se poveća blago doma njegova:
Do not fear when one makes wealth, When the glory of his house is abundant,
17 kad umre, ništa neće ponijeti sa sobom, i blago njegovo neće s njime sići.
For at his death he receives nothing, His glory does not go down after him.
18 Ako se u životu držao sretnim - “Govorit će se da ti je dobro bilo!” -
For he blesses his soul in his life (And they praise you when you do well for yourself).
19 i on će doći u skup otaca svojih, gdje svjetlosti više vidjeti neće.
It comes to the generation of his fathers, They do not see the light forever.
20 Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
Man in honor, who does not understand, Has been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
