Psalms 49
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
1Pilnam boeih loh hekah he ya uh lah. Khosaknah dongkah khosa boeih loh hnatun uh.
2Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
2Hlang capa rhoek long khaw, hlang tongpa rhoek long khaw, hlanglen neh khodaeng long khaw thikat la hnatun uh.
3My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
3Ka ka loh cueihnah a thui vetih ka lungbuei poeknah loh a lungcuei om bitni.
4I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
4Ka hna he taengla ka kaeng vetih, ka olkael he rhotoeng neh ka thuicaih ni.
5Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
5Yoethaenah hnin ah ka khodil kathaesainah loh kai m'vael dae ba ham lae ka rhih eh?
6They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
6A thadueng dongah pangtung uh tih a khuehtawn a yet neh thangthen uh dae,
7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
7hlang loh a manuca te a lat khaw a lat thai moenih. A tlansum te Pathen taengah a paek thai moenih.
8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
8A hinglu kah tlansum tah kuelka tih kumhal a toeng.
9That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
9Te koihnih a yoeyah la hing pueng sui tih hlan khaw hmuh pawt sue.
10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
10Aka cueih rhoek long tah a duek te a hmuh. Aka ang neh kotalh khaw a milh vaengah a khuehtawn te hlang tloe ham a caehtak.
11Their 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.
11Amih kah poeknah nen tah a im te kumhal ah, a pohmuen te thawnpuei lamkah cadilcahma duela, om ni a ti uh tih tolhmuen te amih ming neh a khue uh.
12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
12Tedae hlang he umponah khaw a rhaehrhong moenih, rhamsa banglam ni a thuidoek tih a hmata.
13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
13Tetl a amamih khosing tea uepnah tih amih kah olthui te a hnukbang rhoek loh a pom uh. Selah
14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
14Amih te saelkhui kah boiva la tael uh vetih, dueknah loh a luem puei ni. Tedae mincang ah amih te aka thuem rhoek loh a taemrhai uh ni. A muei neh a lungpang a imhmuen lamloh saelkhui la hmawn ni.
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
15Tedae Pathen loh ka hinglu he saelkhui kut lamkah n'lat dongah kai he n'loh bit ni. Selah
16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
16Hlang pakhat loh boei tih a im kah thangpomnah loh pungtai cakhaw rhih boeh.
17For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
17A duek vaengah pakhat khaw khuen mahpawh. A thangpomnah loh anih te suntlak puei mahpawh.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
18A hing vaengah a hinglu te yoethen a paek tih namah te na hoeikhang vaengah nang uem uh dae,
19He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
19A napa rhoek kah cadilcahma la cet vetih yoeyah la vangnah hmu uh mahpawh.
20Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
20Hlang he umponah neh om dae a yakming pawt atah rhamsa aka hmata rhoek bangla om.
