Psalm 49

1 To the chief5329 Musician,5329 A Psalm4210 for the sons1121 of Korah.7141 Hear8085 this,2063 all3605 you people;5971 give ear,238 all3605 you inhabitants3427 of the world:2465

2 Both1571 low120 and high,376 rich6223 and poor,34 together.3162

3 My mouth6310 shall speak1696 of wisdom;2454 and the meditation1900 of my heart3820 shall be of understanding.8394

4 I will incline5186 my ear241 to a parable:4912 I will open6605 my dark2420 saying2420 on the harp.3658

5 Why4100 should I fear3372 in the days3117 of evil,7451 when the iniquity5771 of my heels6120 shall compass5437 me about?

6 They that trust982 in their wealth,2428 and boast1984 themselves in the multitude7230 of their riches;6239

7 None376 3808 of them can by any means redeem6299 his brother,251 nor3808 give5414 to God430 a ransom3724 for him:

8 (For the redemption6306 of their soul5315 is precious,3365 and it ceases2308 for ever:5769)

9 That he should still5750 live2421 for ever,5331 and not see7200 corruption.7845

10 For he sees7200 that wise2450 men die,4191 likewise the fool3684 and the brutish1197 person perish,6 and leave5800 their wealth2428 to others.312

11 Their inward7130 thought is, that their houses1004 shall continue for ever,5769 and their dwelling4908 places to all generations;1755 they call7121 their lands127 after their own names.8034

12 Nevertheless man120 being in honor3366 stays3885 not: he is like4911 the beasts929 that perish.1820

13 This2088 their way1870 is their folly:3689 yet their posterity310 approve7521 their sayings.6310 Selah.5542

14 Like sheep6629 they are laid8371 in the grave;7585 death4194 shall feed7462 on them; and the upright3477 shall have dominion7287 over them in the morning;1242 and their beauty6736 shall consume1086 in the grave7585 from their dwelling.2073

15 But God430 will redeem6299 my soul5315 from the power3027 of the grave:7585 for he shall receive3947 me. Selah.5542

16 Be not you afraid3372 when3588 one376 is made rich,6238 when3588 the glory3519 of his house1004 is increased;7235

17 For when3588 he dies4194 he shall carry3947 nothing3808 3605 away: his glory3519 shall not descend3381 after310 him.

18 Though3588 while he lived2416 he blessed1288 his soul:5315 and men will praise3034 you, when3588 you do well3190 to yourself.

19 He shall go935 to the generation1755 of his fathers;1 they shall never5704 see7200 light.216

20 Man120 that is in honor,3366 and understands995 not, is like4911 the beasts929 that perish.1820

詩篇

第49篇

1 為可拉後裔而作[for the sons of Korah]的詩,交與伶長。)眾民哪,你們都當聽這話。世上一切的居民,

2 無論上流下流,富足貧窮,都當留心聽。

3 我口要說智慧的言語;我心要想通達的道理。

4 我要側耳聽比喻,用琴解謎語。

5 在患難的日子,奸惡隨我腳跟,四面環繞我,我何必懼怕?

6 那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人,

7 一個也無法贖自己的兄弟[brother],也不能替他將贖價給神,

8 (因為贖他生命的價值極貴,只可永遠罷休。)

9 叫他長遠活著,不見朽壞。

10 他必見智慧人死,又見愚頑人和畜類人一樣[likewise]滅亡,將他們的財貨留給別人。

11 他們心裏思想:他們的家室必永存,住宅必留到世世代代[all generations];他們以自己的名稱自己的地。

12 但人居尊貴中不能長久,如同死亡的禽獸[beasts]一樣。

13 他們行的這道本為自己的愚昧;但他們的後人[their posterity]還佩服他們的話語。細拉。

14 他們如同羊群派定下墳墓[grave];死亡必牧養他們[feed on them];到了早晨,正直人必管轄他們;他們的美容從他們住宅的墳墓中必致消滅[shall consume in the grave from their dwelling]

15 只是神必救贖我的元魂[soul]脫離墳墓[grave]的權柄,因他必收納我。細拉。

16 見人發財、家室增榮的時候,你不要懼怕;

17 因為,他死的時候甚麼也不能帶去;他的榮耀不能隨他下去。

18 他活著的時候,雖然自誇為有福,你若利己,人必誇獎你;

19 他仍必歸到他歷代的祖宗那裏,永不見光。

20 人在尊貴中而不醒悟,就如死亡的禽獸[beasts]一樣。
