Psalms 48

Unto the end, a psalm for the sons of Core.

In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus.

εἰς τὸ τέλος τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός

Hear these things, all ye nations: give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.

Audite hæc, omnes gentes; auribus percipite, omnes qui habitatis orbem:

ἀκούσατε ταῦτα πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐνωτίσασθε πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην

All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: both rich and poor together.

quique terrigenæ et filii hominum, simul in unum dives et pauper.

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

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

Os meum loquetur sapientiam, et meditatio cordis mei prudentiam.

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

I will incline my ear to a parable; I will open my proposition on the psaltery.

Inclinabo in parabolam aurem meam; aperiam in psalterio propositionem meam.

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

Why shall I fear in the evil day? the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.

Cur timebo in die mala? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me.

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

They that trust in their own strength, and glory in the multitude of their riches,

Qui confidunt in virtute sua, et in multitudine divitiarum suarum, gloriantur.

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

No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: he shall not give to God his ransom,

Frater non redimit, redimet homo : non dabit Deo placationem suam,

ἀδελφὸς οὐ λυτροῦται λυτρώσεται ἄνθρωπος οὐ δώσει τῷ θεῷ ἐξίλασμα αὐτοῦ

Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: and shall labour for ever,

et pretium redemptionis animæ suæ. Et laborabit in æternum;

καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῆς λυτρώσεως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ

And shall still live unto the end.

et vivet adhuc in finem.

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

He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: the senseless and the fool shall perish together: And they shall leave their riches to strangers:

Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes : simul insipiens et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas,

ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἄφρων καὶ ἄνους ἀπολοῦνται καὶ καταλείψουσιν ἀλλοτρίοις τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν

And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever. Their dwelling places to all generations: they have called their lands by their names.

et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in æternum; tabernacula eorum in progenie et progenie : vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis.

καὶ οἱ τάφοι αὐτῶν οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν γαιῶν αὐτῶν

And man when he was in honour did not understand; he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.

Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.

καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκεν παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς

This way of theirs is a stumbling block to them: and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.

Hæc via illorum scandalum ipsis; et postea in ore suo complacebunt.

αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκάνδαλον αὐτοῖς καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐδοκήσουσιν διάψαλμα

They are laid in hell like sheep: death shall feed upon them. And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.

Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt : mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum justi in matutino; et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum.

ὡς πρόβατα ἐν ᾅδῃ ἔθεντο θάνατος ποιμαίνει αὐτούς καὶ κατακυριεύσουσιν αὐτῶν οἱ εὐθεῖς τὸ πρωί καὶ ἡ βοήθεια αὐτῶν παλαιωθήσεται ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἐκ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν

But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, when he shall receive me.

Verumtamen Deus redimet animam meam de manu inferi, cum acceperit me.

πλὴν ὁ θεὸς λυτρώσεται τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου ὅταν λαμβάνῃ με διάψαλμα

Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, and when the glory of his house shall be increased.

Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo, et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus ejus:

μὴ φοβοῦ ὅταν πλουτήσῃ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ὅταν πληθυνθῇ ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ

For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; nor shall his glory descend with him.

quoniam, cum interierit, non sumet omnia, neque descendet cum eo gloria ejus.

ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἀποθνῄσκειν αὐτὸν λήμψεται τὰ πάντα οὐδὲ συγκαταβήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ

For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.

Quia anima ejus in vita ipsius benedicetur; confitebitur tibi cum benefeceris ei.

ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εὐλογηθήσεται ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι ὅταν ἀγαθύνῃς αὐτῷ

He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: and he shall never see light.

Introibit usque in progenies patrum suorum; et usque in æternum non videbit lumen.

εἰσελεύσεται ἕως γενεᾶς πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ὄψεται φῶς

Man when he was in honour did not understand: he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.

Homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis.

ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκεν παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς
