1Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,
1Nangcae boih, hae hae tahngai oh; long ah khosah kaminawk:
2both low and high, rich and poor alike.
2kahnaem kasang, angraeng hoi kamtang kaminawk boih, nawnto tahngai oh.
3My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.
3Kai ih pakha loe palunghahaih lok to thui ueloe, ka palungthin mah panoek thaihaih to poek tih.
4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:
4Patahhaih lok bangah naa ka patueng moe, kathuk ruici lok to katoeng kruekhaih hoiah kamnoek ah ka thuih han.
5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?
5Tipongah maw kasae aninawk to angzoh moe, kai aling koeh kaminawk ih zaehaih mah ang takui khoep naah ka zii tih?
6They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
6Nihcae loe angmacae ih hmuenmae to oep o moe, angraenghaih pongah amoek o cadoeh;
7No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
7angmacae nawkamyanawk to mi mah doeh akrang o thai ai, anih han Sithaw khaeah akranghaih hmuen doeh paek o thai ai:
8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
8nihcae hinghaih akrang hanah paroeai atho nat, to pongah dungzan khoek to sung tih boeh:
9that he should live on forever and not see decay.
9akrang nahaeloe kami loe qong ai ah, dungzan khoek to hing han oh.
10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
10Palungha kaminawk duekhaih loe kami boih mah hnuk; nihcae loe kamthu kami hoi tidoeh panoek ai kami baktiah ni anghmat o moe, minawk hanah ni a tawnh o ih hmuennawk to caeh o taak.
11Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
11A tawnh o ih imnawk loe dungzan khoek to cak tih, a oh o haih ahmuennawk doeh a caanawk dung khoek to cak poe tih, tiah a poek o pongah, longnawk to angmacae ih ahmin hoiah suek o.
12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
12Toe kami loe lensawk cadoeh cak poe ai: kanghmaa kangtaa taw ih moi hoiah ni anghmong.
13This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah
13Nihcae amthuhaih loklam loe to tiah oh: nihcae mah thuih o ih loknawk to a caanawk mah tahngai pae o. Selah .
14Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
14Nihcae loe tuu baktiah taprong ah angsong o, duekhaih mah nihcae to pacah tih; akhawnbang ah nihcae to katoeng kaminawk mah uk tih; nihcae ih krang loe taprong ah qong tih, taprong loe nihcae ohhaih ahmuen ah oh.
15But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah
15Toe ka pakhra loe taprong thacakhaih thung hoiah Sithaw mah akrang ueloe, angmah khaeah na caeh haih tih. Selah .
16Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
16Kami loe angraeng moe, a im lensawkhaih hoiah qoeng tahang naah, zii hmah;
17For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
17A duek naah loe tita doeh sin mak ai, a lensawkhaih mah anih to patom tathuk mak ai.
18Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul— and men praise you when you prosper—
18Anih hing naah loe, angmah hoi angmah to tahamhoih koek ah a poek: nang raeng naah loe, kaminawk mah nang to ang pakoeh o.
19he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
19Toe anih loe ampanawk ih acaeng ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh tih; nihcae loe hinghaih to natuek naah doeh hnu o mak ai boeh.
20A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
20Hmuenmae angraenghaih hoi koi, panoekhaih tawn ai kami loe, anghma angtaa taw ih moi hoiah ni anghmong.
