Psalms, 49

1. A psalm for Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: and he hath called the earth. From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof:

1. Al maestro di coro. Dei figli di Core. Salmo.

2. out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.

2. Ascoltate questo, o popoli tutti, udite, voi tutti abitatori del mondo,

3. God shall come manifestly: our God shall come, and shall not keep silence. A fire shall burn before him: and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.

3. sia nobili che plebei, voi ricchi e poveri insieme.

4. He shall call heaven from above, and the earth, to judge his people.

4. Detti sapienti parlerà la mia bocca, cose intelligenti la riflessione del mio cuore.

5. Gather ye together his saints to him: who set his covenant before sacrifices.

5. Tenderò il mio orecchio al detto sentenzioso, svolgerò sull'arpa la mia sentenza misteriosa.

6. And the heavens shall declare his justice: for God is judge.

6. Perché dovrei temere nei giorni di sventura, quando la malvagità m'avvolge di quelli che m'inseguono?

7. Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: I am God, thy God.

7. La loro fiducia sta nella loro sostanza e nell'abbondanza delle ricchezze il loro vanto.

8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.

8. Certo, nessuno mai potrà redimersi, nessuno potrà mai dare a Dio il prezzo del suo riscatto.

9. I will not take calves out of thy house: nor he goats out of thy flocks.

9. Troppo caro sarebbe il prezzo dell'anima sua, egli dovrà cedere per sempre,

10. For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.

10. in modo da poter vivere per sempre e giammai scendere nella fossa.

11. I know all the fowls of the air: and with me is the beauty of the field.

11. Poiché ecco: muoiono i sapienti e alla stessa maniera periscono lo stolto e l'empio,

12. If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

12. lasciando ad altri il proprio avere; le tombe saranno le loro eterne dimore, le loro abitazioni di evo in evo. Eppure chiamarono molte terre con i loro nomi!

13. Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?

13. L'uomo in onore non comprende d'essere simile alle bestie che vengono sterminate.

14. Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: and pay thy vows to the most High.

14. Tale è la sorte di coloro che pongono in sé la loro fiducia; tale è la fine di coloro che pongono nella bocca la loro compiacenza.

15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

15. Come un gregge agli inferi sono destinati, scenderanno senz'altro nel sepolcro e la loro gloria è votata alla rovina, gli inferi saranno la loro abitazione.

16. But to the sinner God hath said: Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth ?

16. Certo, Dio redime l'anima mia, dalla stretta degli inferi certo mi prenderà.

17. Seeing thou hast hated discipline: and hast cast my words behind thee.

17. Non temere se qualcuno s'arricchisce, se aumenta lo sfarzo della sua casa,

18. If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.

18. poiché alla sua morte non porterà via nulla, il suo sfarzo non scenderà dietro a lui.

19. Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, and thy tongue framed deceits.

19. Benché nella sua vita si congratuli con l'anima sua: "Sei oggetto di lode, perché hai buona fortuna",

20. Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son:

20. raggiungerà nondimeno la generazione dei suoi padri, i quali in eterno non vedranno la luce.

21. these things hast thou done, and I was silent. Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.

21. Eppure l'uomo in onore non comprende di essere simile alle bestie che vengono sterminate.

22. Understand these things, you that forget God; lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.

22.

23. The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.

23.

This is also absurd." - This reflection of Solomon aligns with the theme of Psalm 49 about the vanity of riches in the face of death.
