Salmos 49
Nova Traduҫão na Linguagem de Hoje 2000
Ninguém escapa da morte
Salmo do grupo de Corá. Ao regente do coro.
49 Povos, escutem bem isto!
Ouçam, todos os moradores do mundo,
2 tanto os poderosos como os humildes,
tanto os ricos como os pobres!
3 Os meus pensamentos serão claros;
falarei palavras de sabedoria.
4 Vou dar atenção aos provérbios
e, enquanto toco a minha lira,
vou explicá-los.
5 Eu não sinto medo
nas horas de perigo,
quando os meus inimigos me cercam.
6 Esses perversos confiam
nas suas riquezas
e se orgulham
das suas grandes fortunas.
7 Mas ninguém pode salvar a si mesmo,
nem pagar a Deus
o preço da sua vida,
8 pois não há dinheiro que pague
a vida de alguém.
Por mais dinheiro
que uma pessoa tenha,
9 isso não garante que ela
nunca vá morrer,
que ela vá viver para sempre.
10 Todo mundo vê
que até os sábios morrem,
e morrem também os tolos
e os ignorantes.
E todos deixam as suas riquezas
para os outros.
11 As suas sepulturas
são os seus lares perpétuos,
onde eles ficam para sempre,
ainda que tenham possuído
muitas terras.
12 O ser humano,
por mais importante que seja,
não pode escapar da morte;
como os animais morrem,
ele também morre.
13 Reparem no que acontece
com os que confiam em si mesmos;
vejam o fim daqueles
que estão satisfeitos
com as suas riquezas.
14 O pastor deles — a morte — os leva,
e eles são condenados a morrer
como se fossem ovelhas.
De manhã, as pessoas corretas
os vencerão;
os corpos deles apodrecerão
na sepultura,
longe dos seus lares.
15 Porém Deus me livrará
do poder da morte,
pois ele me receberá.
16 Não se preocupem
quando alguém fica rico,
e a sua riqueza aumenta
cada vez mais.
17 Pois, quando morrer,
ele não poderá levar nada;
a sua riqueza não irá com ele
para a sepultura.
18 Ainda que esteja contente
com a sua vida
e seja elogiado por ter sucesso,
19 ele, quando morrer, vai reunir-se
com os seus antepassados
no lugar onde a escuridão
dura para sempre.
20 O ser humano,
por mais importante que seja,
não pode escapar da morte;
como os animais morrem,
ele também morre.
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 International Version
Psalm 49[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 Hear(A) this, all you peoples;(B)
listen, all who live in this world,(C)
2 both low and high,(D)
rich and poor alike:
3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom;(E)
the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.(F)
4 I will turn my ear to a proverb;(G)
with the harp(H) I will expound my riddle:(I)
5 Why should I fear(J) when evil days come,
when wicked deceivers surround me—
6 those who trust in their wealth(K)
and boast(L) of their great riches?(M)
7 No one can redeem the life of another
or give to God a ransom for them—
8 the ransom(N) for a life is costly,
no payment is ever enough—(O)
9 so that they should live on(P) forever
and not see decay.(Q)
10 For all can see that the wise die,(R)
that the foolish and the senseless(S) also perish,
leaving their wealth(T) to others.(U)
11 Their tombs(V) will remain their houses[b] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,(W)
though they had[c] named(X) lands after themselves.
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(AA)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[d]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(AB) to die;(AC)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(AD) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
15 But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;(AE)
he will surely take me to himself.(AF)
16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
when the splendor of their houses increases;
17 for they will take nothing(AG) with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.(AH)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—(AI)
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,(AJ)
who will never again see the light(AK) of life.
