Pjalm 49
Kadede Kap (Pohnpeian New Testament and Psalms)
World English Bible
1Komail kainok kan karoj ro n o dedeki, komail toun jap karoj.
1Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2Ir karoj, aramaj o jaupeidi, ir karoj me kapwapwa o jamama kan!
2both low and high, rich and poor together.
3Au ai pan kaparok duen loleko n , o mo n io n I duen lamalam pu n .
3My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart will utter understanding.
4I pan kapaike do n jalo n ai lepen majan, o i pan kajaleda me rir akan ni n il en arp.
4I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will solve my riddle on the harp.
5Da me i en majak ni ran apwal akan, ma me japu n kan kapil ia pena,
5Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6Me kin kaporoporeki ar dipijou o juaiki ar kapwa toto?
6Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—
7Pwe jota me kak dorela ri a, de tomeki i ren Kot,
7none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8(Pwe meid apwal, en dorela n en ar; a jota pan pwaida kokolata).
8For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9Pwen maur potopot o jota kila n joujou o.
9that he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
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.
10For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11I me re kin peren kida, ma im arail pan duedueta, o deu ’rail pan mimieta kokolata; o re konekon melel nin jappa.
11Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12Ari jo, aramaj me konekon jota kak mimieta ni mepukat, pwe a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
12But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13let ar wiawia pukat meid pweipwei; ari jo, kadaudok ar kin kapi n a ki au arail.
13This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
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.
14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
15A Kot pan kotin dorela n en i jan nan mana en wajan mela, pwe a pan kotin japwilimane kin ia.
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
16Koe der puriamuiki, ma amen pan kapwapwala, o ma li n an en im a pan laudala.
16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17Pwe a jota pan wala meakot ni a pan mela, o a li n an jota pan idauenla i.
17for when he dies he will carry nothing away. His glory won’t descend after him.
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.
18Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—
19A pan idauen la jam a kan, ap jolar kila n marain kokolata.
19he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20Ari, ma aramaj amen indand mau, ap jota a lamalam, a pan kokowei dueta man amen.
20A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.
