Psalms 49
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this, all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa namoota, isin hundi waan kana dhagaʼaa; warri addunyaa kana irra jiraattan hundinuu dhaggeeffadhaa;
2 Both low and high, together rich and needy.
xinnaa fi guddaan, sooressii fi hiyyeessi walumaan dhaggeeffadhaa; kunis:
3 My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my heart [are] things of understanding.
Afaan koo dubbii ogummaa dubbata; wanti ani garaatti yaadus hubannaa kenna.
4 I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my riddle:
Gurra koo gara mammaaksaatti nan qabadha; hibboo koos baganaadhaan nan ibsadha.
5 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my supplanters doth compass me.
Bara rakkinaa, yeroo gowwoomsitoonni hamoon na marsanitti, ani maaliifan sodaadha?
6 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.
Isaan qabeenya isaanii amanatu; guddina sooruma isaaniitiinis boonu.
7 A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to God his atonement.
Namni lubbuu nama gara biraa furu, yookaan gatii furii nama sanaa Waaqaaf baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru;
8 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath ceased — to the age.
furiin lubbuu namaa gatii guddaa qabaatii; gatiin quufsaanis yoom iyyuu hin argamu;
9 And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit.
silaa inni bara baraan ni jiraata; hin tortorus ture.
10 For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
Akka ogeeyyiin duʼan namni hundinuu ni arga; gowwoonnii fi raatuwwanis akkasuma ni badu; qabeenya isaaniis warra kaaniif dhiisu.
11 Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names over the lands.
Isaan yoo lafa maqaa isaaniitiin waamamtu qabaatan illee, awwaalli isaanii bara baraan mana isaanii, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaattis iddoo boqonnaa isaanii taʼee hafa.
12 And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off.
Namni garuu qabeenya qabaatu illee bara dheeraa hin jiraatu; inni akkuma bineensa duʼee baduu ti.
13 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity with their sayings are pleased. (Selah)
Wanni namoota ofitti amanatanii fi warra isaan duukaa buʼanii dubbii isaanii hoʼisan eeggatu kanuma.
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)
Isaan akkuma hoolaa duʼaaf ramadamaniiru; duuti tiksee isaanii ti; toloonni ganamaan isaan irratti aangoo qabaatu; dhagni isaanii mana isaanii irraa fagaatee awwaala keessatti ni tortora; awwaallis mana jireenya isaanii ti. (Sheol h7585)
15 Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For He doth receive me. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Waaqni garuu lubbuu koo humna siiʼool jalaa baasa; inni dhugumaan ofitti na fudhata. (Sheol h7585)
16 Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his house is abundant,
Yommuu namni tokko sooromu, yommuu ulfinni mana isaas guddatu hin sodaatin.
17 For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth not down after him.
Inni yommuu duʼutti waanuma tokko illee fudhatee hin deemuutii; ulfinni isaas isa wajjin hin dhaqu.
18 For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise thee when thou dost well for thyself.)
Inni bara jireenya isaa lubbuu isaa eebbisu iyyuu, yoo namoonni yeroo ati waan gaarii ofii keetii godhattutti si jajan illee,
19 It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they see not the light.
inni gara dhaloota abbootii isaa, gara warra gonkumaa deebiʼanii ifa jireenyaa hin arginee ni dhaqa.
20 Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the beasts, they have been cut off!
Namni badhaadhaan hubannaa hin qabne, akkuma bineensaa duʼee bada.
