مزمور 49

الكتاب المقدس

لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ لِبَنِي قُورَحَ

1 اسْمَعُوا هَذَا يَا جَمِيعَ الشُّعُوبِ، أَصْغُوا يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الْعَالَمِ. 

2 (اسْمَعُوا) إِلَيَّ أَيُّهَا الْعُظَمَاءُ، الأَغْنِيَاءُ وَالْفُقَرَاءُ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ. 

3 يَنْطِقُ فَمِي بِالْحِكْمَةِ، وَخَوَاطِرُ قَلْبِي بِالْفَهْمِ. 

4 أُعِيرُ أُذُنِي لأَسْمَعَ مَثَلاً، وَعَلَى عَزْفِ الْعُودِ أَشْرَحُ لُغْزِي. 

5 لِمَاذَا أَخَافُ فِي أَيَّامِ الْخَطَرِ عِنْدَمَا يُحِيطُ بِي شَرُّ مُطَارِدِيَّ؟ 

6 أُولَئِكَ الْمُتَّكِلُونَ عَلَى ثَرْوَتِهِمْ، وَبِوَفْرَةِ غِنَاهُمْ يَفْتَخِرُونَ. 

7 لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَبَداً أَنْ يَفْتَدِيَ أَخَاهُ أَوْ يُقَدِّمَ لِلهِ كَفَّارَةً عَنْهُ. 

8 لأَنَّ فِدْيَةَ النُّفُوسِ بَاهِظَةٌ يَتَعَذَّرُ دَفْعُهَا مَدَى الْحَيَاةِ 

9 طَلَباً لِلْخُلُودِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ وَتَفَادِياً لِرُؤْيَةِ الْقَبْرِ. 

10 لَكِنَّ الْحُكَمَاءَ يَمُوتُونَ كَمَا يَمُوتُ الْجَاهِلُ وَالْغَبِيُّ، تَارِكِينَ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ لِغَيْرِهِمْ. 

11 يَتَوَهَّمُونَ أَنَّ بُيُوتَهُمْ خَالِدَةٌ، وَأَنَّ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ بَاقِيَةٌ مِنْ جِيلٍ إِلَى جِيلٍ، فَأَطْلَقُوا أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى أَرَاضِيهِمْ (تَخْلِيداً لِذِكْرِهِمْ). 

12 وَلَكِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَا يَخْلُدُ فِي أُبَّهَتِهِ. إِنَّهُ يُمَاثِلُ الْبَهَائِمَ الَّتِي تُبَادُ. 

13 هَذَا هُوَ مَصِيرُ الْجُهَّالِ الْوَاثِقِينَ بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَمَصِيرُ أَعْقَابِهِمِ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَحْسِنُونَ أَقْوَالَهُمْ. 

14 يُسَاقُونَ لِلْمَوْتِ كَالأَغْنَامِ، وَيَكُونُ الْمَوْتُ رَاعِيَهُمْ وَيَسُودُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ. تَبْلَى صُورَتُهُمْ، وَتَصِيرُ الْهَاوِيَةُ مَسْكَنَهُمْ. 

15 إِنَّمَا اللهُ يَفْتَدِي نَفْسِي مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْهَاوِيَةِ إذْ يَأْخُذُنِي إِلَيْهِ. 

16 لَا تَخْشَ إِذَا اغْتَنَى إِنْسَانٌ، وَزَادَ مَجْدُ بَيْتِهِ. 

17 فَإِنَّهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ لَا يَأْخُذُ مَعَهُ شَيْئاً، وَلَا يَلْحَقُ بِهِ مَجْدُهُ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ. 

18 وَمَعَ أَنَّهُ يُنَعِّمُ نَفْسَهُ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِ وَيُطْرِيهِ النَّاسُ إذْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ، 

19 إلّا أَنَّ نَفْسَهُ سَتَلْحَقُ بِآبَائِهِ، الَّذِينَ لَا يَرَوْنَ النُّورَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. 

20 فَالإِنْسَانُ الْمُتَمَتِّعُ بِالْكَرَامَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ فَهْمٍ، يُمَاثِلُ الْبَهَائِمَ البَائِدَةَ.

English Standard Version

Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, (مز 42:1; مز 78:1; إش 1:2; مي 1:2) 

2 both low and high, rich and poor together! (مز 62:9) 

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. (أم 1:20; أم 9:1) 

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. (عد 12:8; مز 78:2; أم 1:6; مت 13:35) 

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me, (مز 37:1; مز 94:13) 

6 those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches? (أي 31:24; مز 52:7; أم 11:28; مر 10:24) 

7 Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, (أي 33:24; مت 16:26; مت 25:9) 

8 for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, (أي 36:18) 

9 that he should live on forever and never see the pit. (مز 16:10; مز 89:48) 

10 For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others. (مز 39:6; مز 73:22; مز 92:6; مز 94:8; أم 30:2; جا 2:16) 

11 Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names. (تك 4:17; مز 5:9; مز 10:6; مز 64:6) 

12 Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish. (مز 39:5; مز 49:20; مز 82:7; جا 3:19) 

13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. (لو 12:20) 

14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell. (أي 24:19; مز 39:11; دا 7:22; ملا 4:3; لو 22:30; 1كو 6:2; رؤ 2:26; رؤ 20:4) 

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. (تك 5:24; مز 16:11; مز 17:15; مز 73:24; دا 12:2; هو 13:14) 

16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. 

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. (أي 27:19; 1تي 6:7) 

18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— (تث 29:19; مز 10:3; مز 36:2; لو 12:19) 

19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. (تك 15:15; أي 33:30; مز 56:13) 

20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. (مز 49:12)
