Псалми 49
Bulgarian Bible
49 (По слав. 48). За първият певец, псалом на Кореевите синове. Слушайте това, всички племена; Внимавайте всички жители на вселената,
2 И ниско поставени и високопоставени, Богати и сиромаси заедно.
3 Устата ми ще говорят мъдрост, И размишлението на сърцето ми ще бъде за разумни неща;
4 Ще поведа към притча ухото си, Ще изложа на арфа гатанката си.
5 Защо да се боя във време на бедствие, Когато ме обкръжи беззаконието до петите?
6 От ония, които уповават на имота си, И се хвалят с голямото си богатство,
7 Ни един от тях не може никак да изкупи брата си, Нито да даде Богу откуп за него.
8 (Защото толкова скъп е откупът на душата им, Щото всеки трябва да се оставя от това за винаги),
9 Та да живее вечно И да не види изтление.
10 Защото гледа, бе мъдрите умират, И еднакво с тях погиват безумният и несмисленият, И оставят богатството си на други.
11 Тайната им мисъл е, че домовете им ще траят вечно, И жилищата им из род в род; Наричат земите си със своите си имена.
12 Но човекът не пребъдва в чест; Прилича на животните, които загиват.
13 Това е пътят на безумните; Но пак идещите подир тях човеци одобряват думите им. (Села).
14 Назначават се като овци за преизподнята; Смъртта ще им бъде овчар; И праведните ще ги обладаят призори; И красотата им ще овехтее, Като остава преизподнята жилище на всеки един от тях.
15 Но Бог ще изкупи душата ми от силата на преизподнята. Защото ще ме приеме. (Села)
16 Не бой се, когато забогатее човек, Когато се умножи славата на дома му;
17 Защото, когато умре няма да вземе със себе си нищо, Нито ще мине славата му на друг подир него,
18 Ако и да е облажавал душата си приживе, И човеците да те хвалят, когато правиш добро на себе си.
19 Пак ще дойда при рода на бащите си. които никога няма да видят виделина.
20 Човек, който е на почит, а не разбира, Прилича на животните, които загиват.
Psalm 49
King James Version
49 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
2 Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
5 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 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.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14 Like 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.
15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20 Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
Psalm 49
New King James Version
The Confidence of the Foolish
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
49 Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all inhabitants of the world,
2 Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a proverb;
I will disclose my [a]dark saying on the harp.
5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
When the iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6 Those who (A)trust in their wealth
And boast in the multitude of their riches,
7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother,
Nor (B)give to God a ransom for him—
8 For (C)the redemption of their souls is costly,
And it shall cease forever—
9 That he should continue to live eternally,
And (D)not [b]see the Pit.
10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
11 [c]Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They (E)call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not [d]remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the way of those who are (F)foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
(G)The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
(H)And their beauty shall be consumed in [e]the grave, far from their dwelling.
15 But God (I)will redeem my soul from the power of [f]the grave,
For He shall (J)receive me. Selah
16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
18 Though while he lives (K)he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see (L)light.[g]
20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
(M)Is like the beasts that perish.
