¹Zborovođi. Sinova Korahovih. Psalam.

¹{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm.} Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all inhabitants of the world:

²Poslušajte ovo, svi narodi, čujte, svi stanovnici zemlje,

²Both men of low and men of high degree, rich and poor alike.

³vi, djeco puka, i vi, odličnici, bogati i siromašni zajedno!

³My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding:

⁴Moja će usta zboriti mudrost, i moje srce misli razumne.

⁴I will incline mine ear to a parable, I will open my riddle upon the harp.

⁵K poučnoj izreci priklonit ću uho, uz harfu ću izložit' svoju zagonetku.

⁵Wherefore should I fear in the days of adversity, [when] the iniquity of my supplanters encompasseth me? --

⁶Što da se bojim u danima nesreće kad me opkoli zloba izdajica

⁶They depend upon their wealth, and boast themselves in the abundance of their riches. ...

⁷koji se u blago svoje uzdaju i silnim se hvale bogatstvom?

⁷None can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him,

⁸TÓa nitko sebe ne može otkupit' ni za se dati Bogu otkupninu:

⁸(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

⁹životu je cijena previsoka, i nikada je neće platiti

⁹That he should still live perpetually, [and] not see corruption.

¹⁰tko želi živjeti dovijeka i ne vidjeti jamu grobnu.

¹⁰For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Jer, i mudri umiru, pogiba i luđak i bezumnik: bogatstvo svoje ostavlja drugima.

¹¹Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.

¹²Grobovi im kuće zasvagda, stanovi njihovi od koljena do koljena, sve ako se zemlje nazivale imenima njihovim.

¹²Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.

¹³This their way is their folly, yet they that come after them delight in their sayings. Selah.

¹⁴Takav je put onih koji se ludo uzdaju, to je konac onih koji uživaju u sreći:

¹⁴Like sheep are they laid in Sheol: Death feedeth on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their comeliness shall be for Sheol to consume, that there be no habitation for them.

¹⁵Poput stada redaju se u Podzemlju, smrt im je pastir, a dobri njima vladaju. Njihova će lika brzo nestati, Podzemlje će im biti postojbina.

¹⁵But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol: for he will receive me. Selah.

¹⁶A moju će dušu Bog ugrabiti Podzemlju iz pandža i milostivo me primiti.

¹⁶Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased:

¹⁷Ne boj se ako se tko obogati i ako se poveća blago doma njegova:

¹⁷For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.

¹⁸kad umre, ništa neće ponijeti sa sobom, i blago njegovo neće s njime sići.

¹⁸Though he blessed his soul in his lifetime, -- and men will praise thee when thou doest well to thyself, --

¹⁹Ako se u životu držao sretnim - "Govorit će se da ti je dobro bilo!" -

¹⁹It shall go to the generation of his fathers: they shall never see light.

²⁰i on će doći u skup otaca svojih, gdje svjetlosti više vidjeti neće.

²⁰Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

²¹Čovjek koji nerazumno živi sličan je stoci koja ugiba.
