诗篇-Psalms 第 49 章

49:1万民哪,你们都当听这话;世上一切的居民,
Hear this, all you peoples; Give ear, all you inhabitants of the world,
49:2无论上流下流,富足贫穷,都当侧耳听;
Both low and high, Rich and poor together;
49:3我口要说智慧的话,我心所默想的是通达的事。
My mouth will speak wisdom, And the meditation of my heart will be that of understanding.
49:4我要侧耳听比喻,用琴解谜语。
I will incline my ear to a parable; I will disclose my riddle upon the harp.
49:5在患难的日子,欺诈我者的罪孽四面环绕我,我何必惧怕?
Why should I fear in the days of evil, When the iniquity of those who supplant me surrounds me,
49:6那些人不过是倚靠自己的财货,夸耀自己钱财的丰裕,
Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches?
49:7他们一个也无法赎自己的弟兄,或替他将赎价给神,
None can by any means redeem his brother Or give to God a ransom for him
49:8(因为赎他生命的价值极贵,只可永远罢休,)
(For the redemption of their soul is costly And must be given up forever),
49:9叫他仍长远活着,不见朽坏。
That he would yet live always And not see corruption.
49:10他必见智慧人死亡;又见愚顽人和无知人一同灭亡,将他们的财货留给别人。
For he will see that wise men die; The foolish one and the senseless one perish alike And leave their wealth to others.
49:11他们心里思想,他们的家必永存,他们的住处必留到万代;他们以自己的名,称自己的地。
Their inward thought is that their houses will remain forever, That their habitations will remain from generation to generation; They call lands after their own names.
49:12但人在尊贵中不能长久,乃像要灭亡的畜类一样。
But man in honor does not remain; He is like the beasts that perish.
49:13这就是信赖自己者的道路;也是在他们以后,称许他们话语者的道路。 细拉
Such is the way of those who are self-confident, And of those after them who approve of their sayings.
49:14他们如同羊群派定下阴间;死亡必牧养他们。并且他们要直下到坟墓,他们的形体必被阴间所灭,以致他们无处可住。
Like a flock, they are appointed for Sheol; Death will shepherd them. And straight to the grave they will descend, And their form will be for Sheol to consume That there be no abode for them.
49:15只是神必救赎我的魂,脱离阴间的能力,因祂必收纳我。 细拉
But God will redeem my soul From the power of Sheol, For He will receive me.
49:16见人发财、家室增荣的时候,你不要惧怕。
Do not fear when a man becomes rich, When the glory of his house increases.
49:17因为他死的时候,什么也不能带去;他的荣耀不能随他下去。
For when he dies, he will take nothing; His glory will not descend after him.
49:18他活着的时候,虽然自求多福,(你若使自己得福,人必夸奖你,)
Though he blessed his soul while he lived-And men praise you when you do good for yourself -
49:19他必到他历代的祖宗那里去;他们永不见光。
It will go to the generation of his fathers; They will never see light.
49:20人在尊贵中却没有悟性,就像要灭亡的畜类一样。
A man in honor but without understanding Is like the beasts that perish.
