詩篇 Psalms

49:1	[hb5]	〔可拉後裔的詩、交與伶長。〕萬民哪、你們都當聽這話、世上一切的居民、
	[kjv]	Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
	[bbe]	<Alamoth. To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.> Give attention to this, all you peoples; let your ears be open, all you who are living in the world.
49:2	[hb5]	無論上流下流、富足貧窮、都當留心聽。
	[kjv]	Both low and high, rich and poor, together.
	[bbe]	High and low together, the poor, and those who have wealth.
49:3	[hb5]	我口要說智慧的言語．我心要想通達的道理。
	[kjv]	My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
	[bbe]	From my mouth will come words of wisdom; and in the thoughts of my heart will be knowledge.
49:4	[hb5]	我要側耳聽比喻、用琴解謎語。
	[kjv]	I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
	[bbe]	I will put my teaching into a story; I will make my dark sayings clear with music.
49:5	[hb5]	在患難的日子、奸惡隨我腳跟、四面環繞我、我何必懼怕。
	[kjv]	Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
	[bbe]	What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?
49:6	[hb5]	那些倚仗財貨自誇錢財多的人、
	[kjv]	They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches;
	[bbe]	Even of those whose faith is in their wealth, and whose hearts are lifted up because of their stores.
49:7	[hb5]	一個也無法贖自己的弟兄、也不能替他將贖價給　神、
	[kjv]	None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:
	[bbe]	Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;
49:8	[hb5]	叫他長遠活著、不見朽壞．因為贖他生命的價值極貴、只可永遠罷休．
	[kjv]	(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
	[bbe]	(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)
49:9	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption.
	[bbe]	So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.
49:10	[hb5]	他必見智慧人死．又見愚頑人和畜類人、一同滅亡、將他們的財貨留給別人。
	[kjv]	For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
	[bbe]	For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others.
49:11	[hb5]	他們心裡思想、他們的家室必永存、住宅必留到萬代．他們以自己的名、稱自己的地。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.
49:12	[hb5]	但人居尊貴中不能長久、如同死亡的畜類一樣。
	[kjv]	Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
	[bbe]	But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.
49:13	[hb5]	他們行的這道、本為自己的愚昧．但他們以後的人、還佩服他們的話語。〔細拉〕
	[kjv]	This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
	[bbe]	This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)
49:14	[hb5]	他們如同羊群派定下陰間．死亡必作他們的牧者．到了早晨、正直人必管轄他們．他們的美容、必被陰間所滅、以致無處可存。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever.
49:15	[hb5]	只是　神必救贖我的靈魂、脫離陰間的權柄、因他必收納我。〔細拉〕
	[kjv]	But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
	[bbe]	But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.)
49:16	[hb5]	見人發財家室增榮的時候、你不要懼怕．
	[kjv]	Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
	[bbe]	Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased;
49:17	[hb5]	因為他死的時候、甚麼也不能帶去．他的榮耀不能隨他下去。
	[kjv]	For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
	[bbe]	For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.
49:18	[hb5]	他活著的時候、雖然自誇為有福、（你若利己、人必誇獎你）
	[kjv]	Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
	[bbe]	Though he might have pride in his soul in his life-time, and men will give you praise if you do well for yourself,
49:19	[hb5]	他仍必歸到他歷代的祖宗那裡、永不見光。
	[kjv]	He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
	[bbe]	He will go to the generation of his fathers; he will not see the light again.
49:20	[hb5]	人在尊貴中、而不醒悟、就如死亡的畜類一樣。
	[kjv]	Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
	[bbe]	Man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.
