תהילים פרק מט
Псалом 49
Как бы ни был состоятелен человек, после смерти он не сможет воспользоваться своим богатством. Только душа переходит грань небытия. Сыновья Кораха, заглянувшие в лицо вечности, называют «путем безумцев» жизнь тех, кто в погоне за временным упускает вечное.

1. For the Leader; a Psalm for the sons of Korah. 2. Hear this, all ye peoples; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world, 3. Both low and high, Rich and poor together. 4. My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. 5. I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 6. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my supplanters compasseth me about, 7. Of them that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches? 8. No man can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him— 9. For too costly is the redemption of their soul, and must be let alone for ever— 10. That he should still live always, that he should not see the pit. 11. For he seeth that wise men die, The fool and the brutish together perish, And leave their wealth to others. 12. 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. 13. But man abideth not in honour; He is like the beasts that perish. 14. This is the way of them that are foolish, and of those who after them approve their sayings. Selah 15. Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, That there be no habitation for it. 16. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether-world; For He shall receive me. Selah 17. Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, When the wealth of his house is increased; 18. For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His wealth shall not descend after him. 19. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 'Men will praise thee, when thou shalt do well to thyself'; 20. It shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. . 21. Man that is in honour understandeth not; He is like the beasts that perish. | א לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי-קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר. ב שִׁמְעוּ-זֹאת, כָּל-הָעַמִּים; הַאֲזִינוּ, כָּל-יֹשְׁבֵי חָלֶד. ג גַּם-בְּנֵי אָדָם, גַּם-בְּנֵי-אִישׁ-- יַחַד, עָשִׁיר וְאֶבְיוֹן. ד פִּי, יְדַבֵּר חָכְמוֹת; וְהָגוּת לִבִּי תְבוּנוֹת. ה אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אָזְנִי; אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנּוֹר, חִידָתִי. ו לָמָּה אִירָא, בִּימֵי רָע-- עֲוֹן עֲקֵבַי יְסוּבֵּנִי. ז הַבֹּטְחִים עַל-חֵילָם; וּבְרֹב עָשְׁרָם יִתְהַלָּלוּ. ח אָח--לֹא פָדֹה יִפְדֶּה אִישׁ; לֹא-יִתֵּן לֵאלֹהִים כָּפְרוֹ. ט וְיֵקַר, פִּדְיוֹן נַפְשָׁם; וְחָדַל לְעוֹלָם. י וִיחִי-עוֹד לָנֶצַח; לֹא יִרְאֶה הַשָּׁחַת. יא כִּי יִרְאֶה, חֲכָמִים יָמוּתוּ-- יַחַד כְּסִיל וָבַעַר יֹאבֵדוּ; וְעָזְבוּ לַאֲחֵרִים חֵילָם. יב קִרְבָּם בָּתֵּימוֹ, לְעוֹלָם-- מִשְׁכְּנֹתָם, לְדוֹר וָדֹר; קָרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹתָם, עֲלֵי אֲדָמוֹת. יג וְאָדָם בִּיקָר, בַּל-יָלִין; נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמוּ. יד זֶה דַרְכָּם, כֵּסֶל לָמוֹ; וְאַחֲרֵיהֶם, בְּפִיהֶם יִרְצוּ סֶלָה. טו כַּצֹּאן, לִשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ-- מָוֶת יִרְעֵם: וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים, לַבֹּקֶר--וצירם (וְצוּרָם), לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל; מִזְּבֻל לוֹ. טז אַךְ-אֱלֹהִים--יִפְדֶּה נַפְשִׁי, מִיַּד-שְׁאוֹל: כִּי יִקָּחֵנִי סֶלָה. יז אַל-תִּירָא, כִּי-יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ: כִּי-יִרְבֶּה, כְּבוֹד בֵּיתוֹ. יח כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ, יִקַּח הַכֹּל; לֹא-יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדוֹ. יט כִּי-נַפְשׁוֹ, בְּחַיָּיו יְבָרֵךְ; וְיוֹדֻךָ, כִּי-תֵיטִיב לָךְ. כ תָּבוֹא, עַד-דּוֹר אֲבוֹתָיו; עַד-נֵצַח, לֹא יִרְאוּ-אוֹר. כא אָדָם בִּיקָר, וְלֹא יָבִין; נִמְשַׁל כַּבְּהֵמוֹת נִדְמוּ. |
