诗篇 49
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
叹世人恃财之愚
49 可拉后裔的诗，交于伶长。
1 万民哪，你们都当听这话。世上一切的居民，
2 无论上流下流，富足贫穷，都当留心听。
3 我口要说智慧的言语，我心要想通达的道理。
4 我要侧耳听比喻，用琴解谜语。
5 在患难的日子，奸恶随我脚跟四面环绕我，我何必惧怕？
6 那些倚仗财货，自夸钱财多的人，
7 一个也无法赎自己的弟兄，也不能替他将赎价给神，
8 叫他长远活着，不见朽坏，因为赎他生命的价值极贵，只可永远罢休。
10 他必见智慧人死，又见愚顽人和畜类人一同灭亡，将他们的财货留给别人。
11 他们心里思想他们的家室必永存，住宅必留到万代，他们以自己的名称自己的地。
12 但人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。
13 他们行的这道本为自己的愚昧，但他们以后的人还佩服他们的话语！（细拉）
14 他们如同羊群派定下阴间，死亡必做他们的牧者。到了早晨，正直人必管辖他们。他们的美容必被阴间所灭，以致无处可存。
15 只是神必救赎我的灵魂脱离阴间的权柄，因他必收纳我。（细拉）
16 见人发财家室增荣的时候，你不要惧怕，
17 因为他死的时候，什么也不能带去，他的荣耀不能随他下去。
18 他活着的时候，虽然自夸为有福（你若利己，人必夸奖你），
19 他仍必归到他历代的祖宗那里，永不见光。
20 人在尊贵中而不醒悟，就如死亡的畜类一样。
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。
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.
