Psalms 49
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
Fún adarí orin. Ti àwọn ọmọ Kora. Saamu. Ẹ gbọ́ èyí, gbogbo ènìyàn! Ẹ fi etí sí i, gbogbo ẹ̀yin aráyé.
2 both low and high, rich and poor together.
Àti ẹni tí ó ga àti ẹni tí ó kéré tálákà àti ọlọ́lá pẹ̀lú!
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
Ẹnu mi yóò sọ̀rọ̀ ọgbọ́n, èrò láti ọkàn mi yóò mú òye wá
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
èmi yóò dẹ etí mi sílẹ̀ sí òwe, èmi yóò ṣí ọ̀rọ̀ ìkọ̀kọ̀ mi sílẹ̀ lójú okùn dùùrù.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
Èéṣe ti èmi yóò bẹ̀rù nígbà tí ọjọ́ ibi dé? Nígbà tí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ajinnilẹ́sẹ̀ mi yí mi ká,
6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
àwọn tí o gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọrọ̀ wọn, tí wọn sì ń ṣe ìlérí ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọrọ̀ wọn.
7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
Kò sí ọkùnrin tí ó lè ra ẹ̀mí ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ padà tàbí san owó ìràpadà fún Ọlọ́run.
8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
Nítorí ìràpadà fún ẹni jẹ́ iyebíye kò sì sí iye owó tó tó fún sísan rẹ̀,
9 that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
ní ti kí ó máa wà títí ayé láìrí isà òkú.
10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn rí ọkùnrin ọlọ́gbọ́n tí ó kú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni aṣiwèrè àti aláìlọ́gbọ́n pẹ̀lú ṣègbé wọ́n sì fi ọrọ̀ wọn sílẹ̀ fún ẹlòmíràn.
11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
Ibojì wọn ni yóò jẹ́ ilé wọn láéláé, ibùgbé wọn láti ìrandíran, wọn sọ orúkọ ilẹ̀ wọn ní orúkọ ara wọn.
12 But man, despite his riches, does not endure. He is like the animals that perish.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin tí o wà nínú ọlá kò dúró pẹ́ ó sì dàbí ẹranko tí ó ṣègbé.
13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. (Selah)
Èyí ni òtítọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ó gbàgbọ́ nínú ara wọn, àti àwọn tí ń tẹ̀lé wọn, tí ó gba ọ̀rọ̀ wọn. (Sela)
14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol (Sheol h7585). Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol (Sheol h7585), far from their mansion.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí àgùntàn ni a tẹ́ wọn sínú isà òkú ikú yóò jẹun lórí wọn; ẹni tí ó dúró ṣinṣin ni yóò, jẹ ọba lórí wọn ní òwúrọ̀. Ẹwà wọn yóò díbàjẹ́, isà òkú ni ibùgbé ẹwà wọn. (Sheol h7585)
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol (Sheol h7585), for he will receive me. (Selah)
Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run yóò ra ọkàn mi padà kúrò nínú isà òkú, yóò gbé mi lọ sọ́dọ̀ òun fún rara rẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
16 Do not be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
Má ṣe bẹ̀rù nígbà tí ẹnìkan bá di ọlọ́rọ̀. Nígbà tí ìyìn ilé rẹ̀ ń pọ̀ sí i.
17 for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory will not descend after him.
Nítorí kì yóò mú ohun kan lọ nígbà tí ó bá kú, ògo rẹ̀ kò ní bá a sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí ipò òkú.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
Nígbà tí ó wà láyé, ó súre fún ọkàn ara rẹ̀. Àwọn ènìyàn yìn ọ́ nígbà tí ìwọ ṣe rere.
19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
Òun yóò lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ìran àwọn baba rẹ̀ àwọn tí ki yóò ri ìmọ́lẹ̀ ayé.
20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
Ọkùnrin tí ó ní ọlá tí kò ní òye dàbí ẹranko tí ó ṣègbé.
