| 49:1 |
（可拉后裔的诗，交与伶长）万民哪，你们都当听这话，世上一切的居民，
Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world: |
|
|
| 49:2 |
无论上流下流，富足贫穷，都当留心听。
Both low and high, rich and poor, together. |
|
|
| 49:3 |
我口要说智慧的言语。我必要想通达的道理。
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. |
|
|
| 49:4 |
我要侧耳听比喻，用琴解谜语。
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp. |
|
|
| 49:5 |
在患难的日子，奸恶随我脚跟，四面环绕我，我何必惧怕。
Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about? |
|
|
| 49:6 |
那些倚仗财货自夸钱财多的人，
They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; |
|
|
| 49:7 |
一个也无法赎自己的弟兄，也不能替他将赎价给神，
None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: |
|
|
| 49:8 |
叫他长远活着，不见朽坏。
(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) |
|
|
| 49:9 |
因为赎他生命的价值极贵，只可永远吧休。
That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. |
|
|
| 49:10 |
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。
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. |
|
|
| 49:11 |
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。
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. |
|
|
| 49:12 |
但人居尊贵中不能长久，如同死亡的畜类一样。
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. |
|
|
| 49:13 |
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）。
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah. |
|
|
| 49:14 |
他们如同羊群派定下阴间。死亡必作他们的牧者。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。
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. |
|
|
| 49:15 |
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）
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. |
|
|
| 49:16 |
见人发财家室增荣的时候，你不要惧怕。
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; |
|
|
| 49:17 |
因为他死的时候，什么也不能带去。他的荣耀不能随他下去。
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. |
|
|
| 49:18 |
他活着的时候，虽然自夸为有福，（你若利己，人必夸奖你）。
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. |
|
|
| 49:19 |
他仍必归到他历代的祖宗那里，永不见光。
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. |
|
|
| 49:20 |
人在尊贵中，而不醒悟，就如死亡的畜类一样。
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. |
