诗篇 49
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
财富的虚幻
可拉后裔的诗，交给乐长。
49 万民啊，你们要听！
世人啊，
2 不论贵贱贫富，都要留心听！
3 因为我口出智慧，心思明智。
4 我要侧耳听箴言，
弹琴解释人生之谜。
5 危难来临，四面被奸诈之徒包围时，我何必惧怕？
6 他们倚靠金钱、夸耀财富，
7 却不能救赎自己的生命，
也无法向上帝付生命的赎价。
8 因为生命的赎价高昂，
无人付得起，
9 以致可以永远活着，不进坟墓。
10 众所周知，即使智者也要死去，
愚人和庸者也要灭亡，
将他们的财富留给别人。
11 尽管他们用自己的名字来为产业命名，
坟墓却是他们永远的归宿，
世代的住处。
12 人不能长享富贵，
终必死去，与兽无异。
13 这就是愚昧人及其追随者的下场！（细拉）
14 他们注定要死，与羊无异，
死亡是他们的牧者；
到了早晨，
他们必被正直人管辖。
他们的躯体必朽烂在坟墓里，
远离自己的豪宅。
15 但上帝必救赎我的生命脱离死亡的权势，
接我到祂身边。（细拉）
16 因此，见他人财富增多，
日益奢华，
不要害怕。
17 因为他们死后什么也带不走，
再不能拥有荣华富贵。
18 他们活着时自以为有福，
人们都赞扬他们的成就，
19 到头来他们还是要归到祖先那里，
再也看不见光明。
20 人有财富，却无明智的心，
无异于必死的兽类。
诗篇 49
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
富贵荣华不足倚靠
可拉子孙的诗，交给诗班长。
49 万民哪！你们要听这话；
世上的居民哪！你们要留心听。
2 不论地位高低，或贫或富，
都要一同留心听。
3 我的口要说出智慧的话；
我的心要默想明智的事。
4 我要留心聆听箴言；
我要弹琴解开谜语。
5 在患难的日子，暗中迫害我的恶人围绕我的时候，
我何须惧怕呢？
6 他们倚靠财富，
自夸多财。
7 但他们没有一个能把他的兄弟赎回，
或把他的赎价交给 神，
8 （因为他生命的赎价非常昂贵，只好永远放弃，）
9 使他永远活着，
不见朽坏。
10 他看见智慧人死去，
愚昧人和愚顽人一同灭亡，
把他们的财产留给别人。
11 他们心里想，他们的家必永存，
他们的住处必留到万代；
他们以自己的名，称自己的地方。
12 但是人不能长享富贵；
他们就像要灭亡的牲畜一样。
13 这就是愚昧人的道路；
但在他们以后的人，还欣赏他们的话。（细拉）
14 他们好象羊群被派定下阴间；
死亡必作他们的牧人。
到了早晨，正直人要管辖他们；
他们的形体必被阴间消灭，
他们再没有住处。
15 但 神必救赎我的灵魂脱离阴间的权势，
因为他必把我接去。（细拉）
16 别人发财，家室增荣的时候，
你不要惧怕。
17 因为他死的时候，甚么也不能带走；
他的荣华也不能随他下去。
18 他在世的时候，虽然自称是有福的，并且说：
“只要你丰足，人就称赞你。”
19 他还要归到他历代的祖宗那里去，
永不再见光明。
20 人享富贵而不聪明，
就像要灭亡的牲畜一样。
Psalm 49

Why Should I Fear in Days of Evil?
For the choir director. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.
49 (A)Hear this, all peoples;
Give ear, all (B)inhabitants of the world,
2 Both [a](C)low and [b]high,
Rich and poor together.
3 My mouth will (D)speak wisdom,
And the meditation of my heart will be (E)discernment.
4 I will incline my ear to (F)a proverb;
(G)I will [c]express my (H)riddle on the harp.
5 Why should I (I)fear in days of evil,
When the iniquity of my [d]supplanters surrounds me,
6 Even those who (J)trust in their wealth
And boast in the abundance of their riches?
7 Truly, no man can (K)redeem his brother;
He cannot give to God a (L)ransom for him—
8 For (M)the redemption price for their soul is costly,
And it ceases forever—
9 That he should (N)live on eternally,
That he should not (O)see [e]corruption.
10 For he sees that even (P)wise men die;
The [f](Q)fool and the senseless alike perish
And (R)leave their wealth to others.
11 Their [g](S)inner thought is that their houses (T)are forever
And their dwelling places [h]from generation to generation;
They have (U)called their lands after their own names.
12 But (V)man in his honor will not endure;
He is like the animals that [i]perish.
13 This is the (W)way of those who are foolish,
And of those after them who (X)are pleased [j]with their words. [k]Selah.
14 As sheep they are appointed (Y)for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them;
And the (Z)upright shall have dominion over them in the morning,
And their form shall be for Sheol (AA)to consume,
Far away from his habitation.
15 But God will (AB)redeem my soul from the [l]power of Sheol,
For (AC)He will receive me. Selah.
16 Do not be afraid (AD)when a man becomes rich,
When the [m]glory of his house increases;
17 For when he dies he will not (AE)take any of it;
His [n]glory will not descend after him.
18 For while he lives he (AF)blesses his soul—
And men will praise you when you do well for yourself—
19 But his soul shall (AG)go to the generation of his fathers;
They will eternally not see (AH)light.
20 (AI)Man in his honor, but who does not understand,
Is (AJ)like the animals that [o]perish.

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.
