Berean Standard Bible
1Ψαλμὸς τῷ Ἀσάφ. ΘΕΟΣ θεῶν Κύριος ἐλάλησε καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν ἡλίου μέχρι δυσμῶν.
1Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,
2ἐκ Σιὼν ἡ εὐπρέπεια τῆς ὡραιότητος αὐτοῦ,
2both low and high, rich and poor alike.
3ὁ Θεὸς ἐμφανῶς ἥξει, ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ οὐ παρασιωπήσεται· πῦρ ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ καυθήσεται, καὶ κύκλῳ αὐτοῦ καταιγὶς σφόδρα.
3My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.
4προσκαλέσεται τὸν οὐρανὸν ἄνω καὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ διακρῖναι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ·
4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:
5συναγάγετε αὐτῷ τοὺς ὁσίους αὐτοῦ, τοὺς διατιθεμένους τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ θυσίαις,
5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?
6καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν οἱ οὐρανοὶ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς κριτής ἐστι. (διάψαλμα).
6They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
7ἄκουσον, λαός μου, καὶ λαλήσω σοι, Ἰσραήλ, καὶ διαμαρτύρομαί σοι· ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεός σού εἰμι ἐγώ.
7No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
8οὐκ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις σου ἐλέγξω σε, τὰ δὲ ὁλοκαυτώματά σου ἐνώπιόν μου ἐστὶ διαπαντός.
8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
9οὐ δέξομαι ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου σου μόσχους οὐδὲ ἐκ τῶν ποιμνίων σου χιμάρους.
9that he should live on forever and not see decay.
10ὅτι ἐμά ἐστι πάντα τὰ θηρία τοῦ δρυμοῦ, κτήνη ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσι καὶ βόες·
10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
11ἔγνωκα πάντα τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, καὶ ὡραιότης ἀγροῦ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν.
11Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
12ἐὰν πεινάσω, οὐ μή σοι εἴπω· ἐμὴ γάρ ἐστιν ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς.
12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
13μὴ φάγομαι κρέα ταύρων, ἢ αἷμα τράγων πίομαι;
13This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah
14θῦσον τῷ Θεῷ θυσίαν αἰνέσεως καὶ ἀπόδος τῷ Ὑψίστῳ τὰς εὐχάς σου·
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.
15καὶ ἐπικάλεσαί με ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεώς σου, καὶ ἐξελοῦμαί σε, καὶ δοξάσεις με. (διάψαλμα).
15But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah
16τῷ δὲ ἁμαρτωλῷ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός· ἱνατί σὺ διηγῇ τὰ δικαιώματά μου καὶ ἀναλαμβάνεις τὴν διαθήκην μου διὰ στόματός σου;
16Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
17σὺ δὲ ἐμίσησας παιδείαν καὶ ἐξέβαλες τοὺς λόγους μου εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
17For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
18εἰ ἐθεώρεις κλέπτην, συνέτρεχες αὐτῷ, καὶ μετὰ μοιχοῦ τὴν μερίδα σου ἐτίθεις.
18Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul— and men praise you when you prosper—
19τὸ στόμα σου ἐπλεόνασε κακίαν, καὶ ἡ γλῶσσά σου περιέπλεκε δολιότητα·
19he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
20καθήμενος κατὰ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου κατελάλεις καὶ κατὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς μητρός σου ἐτίθεις σκάνδαλον.
20A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
21ταῦτα ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐσίγησα· ὑπέλαβες ἀνομίαν, ὅτι ἔσομαί σοι ὅμοιος· ἐλέγξω σε καὶ παραστήσω κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου.
