Psalms 49

Greek original · 21 verses · some words can be tapped for a gloss

📖 This chapter exists in 3 other originals — side by side (Hebrew Old Testament, Vulgate, Ge'ez Bible)

⚠️ Psalms use Masoretic (Hebrew) numbering, which differs from printed Vulgate and Septuagint editions: Ps 49 here = Ps 48 in print. Convert before citing a printed edition.

ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

49:0

εἰς τὸ τέλος τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός

For the end. For the sons of Kore. A psalm.

為末了。可拉子孫的詩。

49:1

ἀκούσατε ταῦτα πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐνωτίσασθε πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην

Hear this, all you nations; give ear, all you who inhabit the world,

萬民哪，你們都要聽這話；住在世上的眾人，都要側耳而聽。

49:2

οἵ τε γηγενεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πλούσιος καὶ πένης

both the earthborn and the sons of men together, rich and poor.

無論是地上所生的，或是世人，富足的和貧窮的，都要一同聽。

49:3

τὸ στόμα μου λαλήσει σοφίαν καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου σύνεσιν

My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart understanding.

我的口要講說智慧，我心的默想必是通達。

49:4

κλινῶ εἰς παραβολὴν τὸ οὖς μου ἀνοίξω ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ τὸ πρόβλημά μου

I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my riddle on the harp.

我要側耳聽比喻，用琴解開我的謎語。

49:5

ἵνα τί φοβοῦμαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ἡ ἀνομία τῆς πτέρνης μου κυκλώσει με

Why should I fear in an evil day? The lawlessness of my heel will surround me.

在邪惡的日子，我為何懼怕呢？那時我腳跟的罪孽必圍繞我。

49:6

οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ πλήθει τοῦ πλούτου αὐτῶν καυχώμενοι

those who trust in their own power and boast in the abundance of their wealth.

就是那些倚靠自己勢力、誇耀自己財富之多的人。

49:7

ἀδελφὸς οὐ λυτροῦται λυτρώσεται ἄνθρωπος οὐ δώσει τῷ θεῷ ἐξίλασμα αὐτοῦ

A brother does not ransom; shall a man ransom? He will not give to God his own propitiation,

弟兄贖不了人；難道有人能贖嗎？他不能把自己的贖價獻給神，

49:8

καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῆς λυτρώσεως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ

nor the price of the redemption of his soul,

也不能獻上贖他魂的代價，

49:9

καὶ ἐκόπασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ζήσεται εἰς τέλος ὅτι οὐκ ὄψεται καταφθοράν ὅταν ἴδῃ σοφοὺς ἀποθνῄσκοντας

and though he toiled forever and shall live to the end, because he will not see corruption, when he sees the wise dying.

他雖永遠勞苦，也要活到終了，因為他不會看見朽壞——當他看見智慧人死去的時候。
