Psalms 49
1 Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core. Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Muwulire mmwe amawanga gonna, mutege amatu mmwe mwenna abali mu nsi.
2 All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.
Ab’ekitiibwa n’abakopi, abagagga n’abaavu, mwenna; muwulirize ebigambo byange.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: and the meditation of my heart understanding.
Kubanga ebigambo by’omu kamwa kange bya magezi, ebiva mu mutima gwange bijjudde okutegeera.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
Nnaakozesanga ebikwata ku ngero, nga nnyinnyonnyola amakulu gaazo n’oluyimba ku nnanga.
5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
Siityenga ne bwe nnaabanga mu buzibu; newaakubadde ng’abalabe bange banneetoolodde,
6 They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,
abantu abeesiga obugagga bwabwe beenyumiririza mu bintu ebingi bye balina.
7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,
Ddala ddala, tewali muntu ayinza kununula bulamu bwa munne, wadde okwegula okuva eri Katonda.
8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,
Kubanga omuwendo ogununula obulamu munene nnyo, tewali n’omu agusobola;
9 And shall still live unto the end.
alyoke awangaale ennaku zonna nga tatuuse magombe.
10 He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:
Kubanga n’abantu abagezi bafa; abasirusiru n’abatalina magezi bonna baaggwaawo, obugagga bwabwe ne babulekera abalala.
11 And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.
Entaana zaabwe ge ganaabanga amaka gaabwe ennaku zonna; nga bye bisulo ebya buli mulembe oguliddawo; baafuna ettaka mu mannya gaabwe.
12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
Omuntu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, ne bw’aba mugagga atya, alifa ng’ensolo bwe zifa.
13 This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
Ako ke kabi akatuuka ku beesiga ebitaliimu, era ye nkomerero y’abo abeesiga obugagga bwabwe.
14 They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory. (Sheol h7585)
Okufaanana ng’endiga, bateekwa kufa; olumbe ne lubalya. Bakka butereevu emagombe, obulungi bwabwe ne bubula, amagombe ne gafuuka amaka gaabwe. (Sheol h7585)
Naye Katonda alinunula emmeeme yange mu magombe, ddala ddala alintwala gy’ali. (Sheol h7585)
16 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
Omuntu bw’agaggawalanga n’ekitiibwa ky’ennyumba ye nga kyeyongedde, tomutyanga,
17 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.
kubanga bw’alifa taliiko ky’alitwala, wadde n’ekitiibwa kye tekirigenda naye.
18 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
Newaakubadde nga mu bulamu yeerowoozaako ng’aweereddwa omukisa kubanga omugagga abantu bamugulumiza,
19 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.
kyokka alikka emagombe eri bajjajjaabe, n’ayingira mu kizikiza ekikutte.
20 Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
Omuntu omugagga naye nga simutegeevu tabeerera mirembe gyonna, alizikirira ng’ensolo ez’omu nsiko.
