Psalms 49 - Listen Online

¹ ẸGBỌ́ eyi, gbogbo enia; ẹ fi eti si i, gbogbo ẹnyin araiye:

¹ Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:

² Ati awọn ọmọ-ẹhin ati awọn ẹni-ọlá, awọn ọlọrọ̀ ati awọn talaka pẹlu.

² Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

³ Ẹnu mi yio sọ̀rọ ọgbọ́n, ati iṣaro aiya mi yio jẹ oye.

³ My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

⁴ Emi o dẹ eti mi silẹ si owe: emi o ṣi ọ̀rọ ìkọkọ mi silẹ loju okùn dùru.

⁴ I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

⁵ Ẽṣe ti emi o fi bẹ̀ru li ọjọ ibi, nigbati ẹ̀ṣẹ awọn ajinilẹsẹ mi yi mi ka.

⁵ Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

⁶ Awọn ti o gbẹkẹle ọrọ̀ wọn, ti nwọn si nṣe ileri li ọ̀pọlọpọ ọrọ̀ wọn;

⁶ They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;

⁷ Kò si ẹnikan, bi o ti wù ki o ṣe, ti o le rà arakunrin rẹ̀, bẹ̃ni kò le san owo-irapada fun Ọlọrun nitori rẹ̀.

⁷ None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

⁸ Nitori irapada ọkàn wọn iyebiye ni, o si dẹkun lailai:

⁸ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

⁹ Nipe ki o fi mã wà lailai, ki o má ṣe ri isa-okú.

⁹ That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.

¹⁰ Nitori o nri pe awọn ọlọgbọ́n nkú, bẹ̃li aṣiwere ati ẹranko enia nṣegbe, nwọn si nfi ọrọ̀ wọn silẹ fun ẹlomiran.

¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

¹¹ Ìro inu wọn ni, ki ile wọn ki o pẹ titi lai, ati ibujoko wọn lati irandiran; nwọn sọ ilẹ wọn ní orukọ ara wọn.

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 Ṣugbọn enia ti o wà ninu ọlá kò duro pẹ: o dabi ẹranko ti o ṣegbé.

¹² Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³ Ipa ọ̀na wọn yi ni igbẹkẹle wọn: ọ̀rọ wọn si tọ́ li oju awọn ọmọ wọn.

¹³ This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

¹⁴ Bi agutan li a ntẹ wọn si isa-okú: ikú yio jẹun lara wọn; ẹni diduro-ṣinṣin ni yio jọba wọn li owurọ; ẹwà wọn yio si rẹ̀ kuro, isa-okú si ni ibugbe wọn.

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 Ṣugbọn Ọlọrun ni yio rà ọkàn mi lọwọ isa-okú: nitoripe on o gbà mi.

¹⁵ But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

¹⁶ Iwọ máṣe bẹ̀ru, nitori ẹnikan di ọlọrọ̀, nitori iyìn ile rẹ̀ npọ̀ si i.

¹⁶ Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;

¹⁷ Nitoripe, igbati o ba kú, kì yio kó ohun kan lọ: ogo rẹ̀ kì yio sọkalẹ tọ̀ ọ lẹhin lọ.

¹⁷ For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.

¹⁸ Nigbati o wà lãye bi o tilẹ nsure fun ọkàn ara rẹ̀: ti awọn enia nyìn ọ, nigbati iwọ nṣe rere fun ara rẹ.

¹⁸ Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.

¹⁹ Ọkàn yio lọ si ọdọ iran awọn baba rẹ̀; nwọn kì yio ri imọlẹ lailai.

¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.

²⁰ Ọkunrin ti o wà ninu ọlá, ti kò moye, o dabi ẹranko ti o ṣegbe.

²⁰ Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
