Psalms 49
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
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,
1Komail kainok kan karoj ro n o dedeki, komail toun jap karoj.
2(49-3) Both low and high, rich and poor together.
2Ir karoj, aramaj o jaupeidi, ir karoj me kapwapwa o jamama kan!
3(49-4) My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.
3Au ai pan kaparok duen loleko n , o mo n io n I duen lamalam pu n .
4(49-5) I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
4I pan kapaike do n jalo n ai lepen majan, o i pan kajaleda me rir akan ni n il en arp.
5(49-6) Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about,
5Da me i en majak ni ran apwal akan, ma me japu n kan kapil ia pena,
6(49-7) Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches?
6Me kin kaporoporeki ar dipijou o juaiki ar kapwa toto?
7(49-8) No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him —
7Pwe jota me kak dorela ri a, de tomeki i ren Kot,
8(49-9) For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever —
8(Pwe meid apwal, en dorela n en ar; a jota pan pwaida kokolata).
9(49-10) That he should still live alway, that he should not see the pit.
9Pwen maur potopot o jota kila n joujou o.
10(49-11) For he seeth that wise men die, the fool and the brutish together perish, and leave their wealth to others.
10Pwe a kin kila n , me loleko n kan kin mela dueta me pweipwei o iakalar akan, o re pan mueid o n amen ar dipijou kan.
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.
11I me re kin peren kida, ma im arail pan duedueta, o deu ’rail pan mimieta kokolata; o re konekon melel nin jappa.
12(49-13) But man abideth not in honour; he is like the beasts that perish.
12Ari jo, aramaj me konekon jota kak mimieta ni mepukat, pwe a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
13(49-14) This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah
13let ar wiawia pukat meid pweipwei; ari jo, kadaudok ar kin kapi n a ki au arail.
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.
14Re wonon nan wajan mela dueta pwin jip; mela kin kama n a ir; a me lelapok kan pan kaun irail da mada n , o mom ar pan joredi, o re pan doo ja n deurail, mimieta nan pweleko.
15(49-16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; for He shall receive me. Selah
15A Kot pan kotin dorela n en i jan nan mana en wajan mela, pwe a pan kotin japwilimane kin ia.
16(49-17) Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
16Koe der puriamuiki, ma amen pan kapwapwala, o ma li n an en im a pan laudala.
17(49-18) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.
17Pwe a jota pan wala meakot ni a pan mela, o a li n an jota pan idauenla i.
18(49-19) Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself';
18A kin injenemau kila peren en maur kajelel wet, o aramaj kin kapi n a ir, me kin apapwali pein ir eta ni maur et.
19(49-20) It shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see the light.
19A pan idauen la jam a kan, ap jolar kila n marain kokolata.
20(49-21) Man that is in honour understandeth not; he is like the beasts that perish.
20Ari, ma aramaj amen indand mau, ap jota a lamalam, a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
