1Dinggin ninyo ito, ninyong lahat na mga bayan; pakinggan ninyo, ninyong lahat na nananahan sa daigdig: 2Ng mababa at gayon din ng mataas, ng mayaman at ng dukha na magkasama. 3Ang aking bibig ay magsasalita ng karunungan; at ang pagbubulay ng aking puso ay magiging sa pagunawa. 4Ikikiling ko ang aking panig sa talinghaga: ibubuka ko ang aking malabong sabi sa alpa. 5Bakit ako matatakot sa mga kaarawan ng kasamaan, pagka kinukulong ako ng kasamaan sa aking mga sakong? 6Silang nagsisitiwala sa kanilang kayamanan, at nangaghahambog sa karamihan ng kanilang mga kayamanan; 7Wala sa kaniyang makatutubos sa ano pa mang paraan sa kaniyang kapatid, ni magbibigay man sa Dios ng pangtubos sa kaniya: 8(Sapagka't ang katubusan ng kanilang kaluluwa ay mahal, at ito'y naglilikat magpakailan man:) 9Upang siya'y mabuhay na lagi, upang siya'y huwag makakita ng kabulukan. 10Sapagka't nakikita niya na ang mga pantas ay nangamamatay, ang mangmang at gayon din ang hangal ay nililipol, at iniiwanan ang kanilang kayamanan sa mga iba. 11Ang kanilang pagiisip sa loob ay, na ang kanilang mga bahay ay mananatili magpakailan man, at ang kanilang mga tahanang dako ay sa lahat ng sali't saling lahi; tinatawag nila ang kanilang mga lupain ayon sa kanilang sariling mga pangalan. 12Nguni't ang tao'y hindi lalagi sa karangalan: siya'y gaya ng mga hayop na nangamamatay. 13Itong kanilang lakad ay kanilang kamangmangan: gayon ma'y pagkatapos nila ay sinasangayunan ng mga tao ang kanilang mga kasabihan. (Selah) 14Sila'y nangatakda sa Sheol na parang kawan; kamatayan ay magiging pastor sa kanila: at ang matuwid ay magtataglay ng kapangyarihan sa kanila sa kinaumagahan; at ang kanilang kagandahan ay mapapasa Sheol upang matunaw, upang mawalan ng tahanan. 15Nguni't tutubusin ng Dios ang aking kaluluwa sa kapangyarihan ng Sheol: sapagka't tatanggapin niya ako. (Selah) 16Huwag kang matakot pagka may yumaman. Pagka ang kaluwalhatian ng kaniyang bahay ay lumago: 17Sapagka't pagka siya'y namatay ay wala siyang dadalhin; ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian ay hindi bababang susunod sa kaniya. 18Bagaman habang siya'y nabuhay ay kaniyang pinagpala ang kaniyang kaluluwa, (at pinupuri ka ng mga tao pagka gumagawa ka ng mabuti sa iyong sarili), 19Siya'y paroroon sa lahi ng kaniyang mga magulang; hindi sila makakakita kailan man ng liwanag. 20Taong nasa karangalan, at hindi nakakaunawa, ay gaya ng mga hayop na namamatay.
1Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world, 2both low and high, rich and poor together. 3My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding. 4I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp. 5Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me? 6Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches— 7none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him. 8For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough, 9That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption. 10For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others. 11Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves. 12But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish. 13This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah. 14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion. 15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah. 16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased. 17For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him. 18Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself— 19he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light. 20A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
1Een psalm, voor den opperzangmeester, onder de kinderen van Korach. 2Hoort dit, alle gij volken! neemt ter ore, alle inwoners der wereld, 3Zowel slechten als aanzienlijken, te zamen rijk en arm! 4Mijn mond zal enkel wijsheid spreken, en de overdenking mijns harten zal vol verstand zijn. 5Ik zal mijn oor neigen tot een spreuk; ik zal mijn verborgene rede openen op de harp. 6Waarom zou ik vrezen in kwade dagen, als de ongerechtigen, die op de hielen zijn, mij omringen? 7Aangaande degenen, die op hun goed vertrouwen; en op de veelheid huns rijkdoms roemen; 8Niemand van hen zal zijn broeder immermeer kunnen verlossen; hij zal Gode zijn rantsoen niet kunnen geven; 9(Want de verlossing hunner ziel is te kostelijk, en zal in eeuwigheid ophouden); 10Dat hij ook voortaan geduriglijk zou leven, en de verderving niet zien. 11Want hij ziet, dat de wijzen sterven, dat te zamen een dwaas en een onvernuftige omkomen, en hun goed anderen nalaten. 12Hun binnenste gedachte is, dat hun huizen zullen zijn in eeuwigheid, hun woningen van geslacht tot geslacht; zij noemen de landen naar hun namen. 13De mens nochtans, die in waarde is, blijft niet; hij wordt gelijk als de beesten, die vergaan. 14Deze hun weg is een dwaasheid van hen; nochtans hebben hun nakomelingen een welbehagen in hun woorden. Sela. 15Men zet hen als schapen in het graf, de dood zal hen afweiden; en de oprechten zullen over hen heersen in dien morgenstond; en het graf zal hun gedaante verslijten, elk uit zijn woning. 16Maar God zal mijn ziel van het geweld des grafs verlossen, want Hij zal mij opnemen. Sela. 17Vrees niet, wanneer een man rijk wordt, wanneer de eer van zijn huis groot wordt; 18Want hij zal in zijn sterven niet met al medenemen, zijn eer zal hem niet nadalen. 19Hoewel hij zijn ziel in zijn leven zegent, en zij u loven, omdat gij uzelven goed doet; 20Zo zal zij toch komen tot het geslacht harer vaderen; tot in eeuwigheid zullen zij het licht niet zien. De mens, die in waarde is, en geen verstand heeft, wordt gelijk als de beesten, die vergaan.
