| εἰς τὸ τέλος τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε ψαλμός | (To the choir-master. Of the sons of Core. A psalm.) | In finem, filiis Core. Psalmus. |
| 2 ἀκούσατε ταῦτα πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐνωτίσασθε πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην 3 οἵ τε γηγενεῖς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ πλούσιος καὶ πένης 4 τὸ στόμα μου λαλήσει σοφίαν καὶ ἡ μελέτη τῆς καρδίας μου σύνεσιν 5 κλινῶ εἰς παραβολὴν τὸ οὖς μου ἀνοίξω ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ τὸ πρόβλημά μου | 2 Listen, you nations far and wide; let all the world give hearing, 3 poor clods of earth, and men nobly born, for rich and poor the same lesson. 4 Here are wise words, thoughts of a discerning heart; 5 mine to overhear mysteries, and reveal, with the harp’s music, things of deep import. | 2 Audite hæc, omnes gentes; auribus percipite, omnes qui habitatis orbem: 3 quique terrigenæ et filii hominum, simul in unum dives et pauper. 4 Os meum loquetur sapientiam, et meditatio cordis mei prudentiam. 5 Inclinabo in parabolam aurem meam; aperiam in psalterio propositionem meam. |
| 6 ἵνα τί φοβοῦμαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πονηρᾷ ἡ ἀνομία τῆς πτέρνης μου κυκλώσει με 7 οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τῇ δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ πλήθει τοῦ πλούτου αὐτῶν καυχώμενοι 8 ἀδελφὸς οὐ λυτροῦται λυτρώσεται ἄνθρωπος οὐ δώσει τῷ θεῷ ἐξίλασμα αὐτοῦ 9 καὶ τὴν τιμὴν τῆς λυτρώσεως τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ 10 καὶ ἐκόπασεν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ζήσεται εἰς τέλος ὅτι οὐκ ὄψεται καταφθοράν ὅταν ἴδῃ σοφοὺς ἀποθνῄσκοντας 11 ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἄφρων καὶ ἄνους ἀπολοῦνται καὶ καταλείψουσιν ἀλλοτρίοις τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτῶν 12 καὶ οἱ τάφοι αὐτῶν οἰκίαι αὐτῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα σκηνώματα αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν ἐπεκαλέσαντο τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν ἐπὶ τῶν γαιῶν αὐτῶν 13 καὶ ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκεν παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς | 6 What need have I to be afraid in troubled times, when malice dogs my heels and overtakes me, 7 malice of foes who trust in their own strength, and boast of their great possessions? 8 No man can deliver himself from his human lot, paying a ransom-price to God; 9 too great is the cost of a man’s soul; never will the means be his 10 to prolong his days eternally and escape death. 11 True it is, wise men die; but reckless fools perish no less; their riches will go to others, 12 and the grave will be their everlasting home. Age after age, they will live on there, under the fields they once called their own. 13 Short is man’s enjoyment of earthly goods; match him with the brute beasts, and he is no better than they. | 6 Cur timebo in die mala? iniquitas calcanei mei circumdabit me. 7 Qui confidunt in virtute sua, et in multitudine divitiarum suarum, gloriantur. 8 Frater non redimit, redimet homo: non dabit Deo placationem suam, 9 et pretium redemptionis animæ suæ. Et laborabit in æternum; 10 et vivet adhuc in finem. 11 Non videbit interitum, cum viderit sapientes morientes: simul insipiens et stultus peribunt. Et relinquent alienis divitias suas, 12 et sepulchra eorum domus illorum in æternum; tabernacula eorum in progenie et progenie: vocaverunt nomina sua in terris suis. 13 Et homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis. |
| 14 αὕτη ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτῶν σκάνδαλον αὐτοῖς καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν εὐδοκήσουσιν διάψαλμα 15 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 16 πλὴν ὁ θεὸς λυτρώσεται τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐκ χειρὸς ᾅδου ὅταν λαμβάνῃ με διάψαλμα 17 μὴ φοβοῦ ὅταν πλουτήσῃ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ὅταν πληθυνθῇ ἡ δόξα τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ 18 ὅτι οὐκ ἐν τῷ ἀποθνῄσκειν αὐτὸν λήμψεται τὰ πάντα οὐδὲ συγκαταβήσεται αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα αὐτοῦ 19 ὅτι ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ζωῇ αὐτοῦ εὐλογηθήσεται ἐξομολογήσεταί σοι ὅταν ἀγαθύνῃς αὐτῷ 20 εἰσελεύσεται ἕως γενεᾶς πατέρων αὐτοῦ ἕως αἰῶνος οὐκ ὄψεται φῶς 21 ἄνθρωπος ἐν τιμῇ ὢν οὐ συνῆκεν παρασυνεβλήθη τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἀνοήτοις καὶ ὡμοιώθη αὐτοῖς | 14 Fatal path, that ensnares the reckless! Pitiful end of the men that love life! 15 There they lie in the world beneath, huddled like sheep, with death for their shepherd, the just for their masters; soon, soon their image fades, the grave for its tenement. 16 But my life God will rescue from the power of that lower darkness, a life that finds acceptance with him. 17 Do not be disturbed, then, when a man grows rich, and there is no end to his household’s magnificence; 18 he cannot take all that with him when he dies, magnificence will not follow him to the grave. 19 While life lasts, he calls himself happy: None but will envy my success; 20 but soon he will be made one with the line of his fathers, never again to see the light. 21 Short is man’s careless enjoyment of earthly goods; match him with the brute beasts, and he is no better than they. | 14 Hæc via illorum scandalum ipsis; et postea in ore suo complacebunt. 15 Sicut oves in inferno positi sunt: mors depascet eos. Et dominabuntur eorum justi in matutino; et auxilium eorum veterascet in inferno a gloria eorum. 16 Verumtamen Deus redimet animam meam de manu inferi, cum acceperit me. 17 Ne timueris cum dives factus fuerit homo, et cum multiplicata fuerit gloria domus ejus: 18 quoniam, cum interierit, non sumet omnia, neque descendet cum eo gloria ejus. 19 Quia anima ejus in vita ipsius benedicetur; confitebitur tibi cum benefeceris ei. 20 Introibit usque in progenies patrum suorum; et usque in æternum non videbit lumen. 21 Homo, cum in honore esset, non intellexit. Comparatus est jumentis insipientibus, et similis factus est illis. Psalmus Asaph. |
