Psalms 49
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1(49-1) For the Leader; a Psalm of the sons of Korah. (49-2) Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,
1万民哪，你们都当听这话！ 世上一切的居民，
2(49-3) Both low and high, rich and poor together.
2无论上流下流，富足贫穷， 都当留心听！
3(49-4) My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
3我口要说智慧的言语； 我心要想通达的道理。
4(49-5) I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
4我要侧耳听比喻， 用琴解谜语。
5(49-6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,
5在患难的日子，奸恶随我脚跟，四面环绕我， 我何必惧怕？
6(49-7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?
6那些倚仗财货自夸钱财多的人，
7(49-8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —
7一个也无法赎自己的弟兄， 也不能替他将赎价给 神，
8(49-9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —
8叫他长远活着，不见朽坏； 因为赎他生命的价值极贵， 只可永远罢休。
9(49-10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
no verse 9 in this text
10(49-11) For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
10他必见智慧人死， 又见愚顽人和畜类人一同灭亡， 将他们的财货留给别人。
11(49-12) Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling-places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
11他们心里思想： 他们的家室必永存， 住宅必留到万代； 他们以自己的名称自己的地。
12(49-13) But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
12但人居尊贵中不能长久， 如同死亡的畜类一样。
13(49-14) This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah
13他们行的这道本为自己的愚昧； 但他们以后的人还佩服他们的话语。 （细拉）
14(49-15) Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it.
14他们如同羊群派定下阴间； 死亡必作他们的牧者。 到了早晨，正直人必管辖他们； 他们的美容必被阴间所灭，以致无处可存。
15(49-16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. Selah
15只是 神必救赎我的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄， 因他必收纳我。 （细拉）
16(49-17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
16见人发财、家室增荣的时候， 你不要惧怕；
17(49-18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.
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。
18(49-19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';
18他活着的时候，虽然自夸为有福 （你若利己，人必夸奖你）；
19(49-20) It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.
19他仍必归到他历代的祖宗那里， 永不见光。
20(49-21) Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
20人在尊贵中而不醒悟， 就如死亡的畜类一样。
