财富的虚幻

可拉后裔的诗，交给乐长。

1 万民啊，你们要听！ 世人啊， 

2 不论贵贱贫富，都要留心听！ 

3 因为我口出智慧，心思明智。 

4 我要侧耳听箴言， 弹琴解释人生之谜。 

5 危难来临，四面被奸诈之徒包围时，我何必惧怕？ 

6 他们倚靠金钱、夸耀财富， 

7 却不能救赎自己的生命， 也无法向上帝付生命的赎价。 

8 因为生命的赎价高昂， 无人付得起， 

9 以致可以永远活着，不进坟墓。 

10 众所周知，即使智者也要死去， 愚人和庸者也要灭亡， 将他们的财富留给别人。 

11 尽管他们用自己的名字来为产业命名， 坟墓却是他们永远的归宿， 世代的住处。 

12 人不能长享富贵， 终必死去，与兽无异。 

13 这就是愚昧人及其追随者的下场！（细拉） 

14 他们注定要死，与羊无异， 死亡是他们的牧者； 到了早晨， 他们必被正直人管辖。 他们的躯体必朽烂在坟墓里， 远离自己的豪宅。 

15 但上帝必救赎我的生命脱离死亡的权势， 接我到祂身边。（细拉） 

16 因此，见他人财富增多， 日益奢华， 不要害怕。 

17 因为他们死后什么也带不走， 再不能拥有荣华富贵。 

18 他们活着时自以为有福， 人们都赞扬他们的成就， 

19 到头来他们还是要归到祖先那里， 再也看不见光明。 

20 人有财富，却无明智的心， 无异于必死的兽类。

Why Should I Fear in Times of Trouble?

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. Hear this, all peoples! Give ear, all inhabitants of the world, (诗42:1; 诗78:1; 赛1:2; 弥1:2) 

2 both low and high, rich and poor together! (诗62:9) 

3 My mouth shall speak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding. (箴1:20; 箴9:1) 

4 I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will solve my riddle to the music of the lyre. (民12:8; 诗78:2; 箴1:6; 太13:35) 

5 Why should I fear in times of trouble, when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me, (诗37:1; 诗94:13) 

6 those who trust in their wealth and boast of the abundance of their riches? (伯31:24; 诗52:7; 箴11:28; 可10:24) 

7 Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of his life, (伯33:24; 太16:26; 太25:9) 

8 for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice, (伯36:18) 

9 that he should live on forever and never see the pit. (诗16:10; 诗89:48) 

10 For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others. (诗39:6; 诗73:22; 诗92:6; 诗94:8; 箴30:2; 传2:16) 

11 Their graves are their homes forever, their dwelling places to all generations, though they called lands by their own names. (创4:17; 诗5:9; 诗10:6; 诗64:6) 

12 Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish. (诗39:5; 诗49:20; 诗82:7; 传3:19) 

13 This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. (路12:20) 

14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol; death shall be their shepherd, and the upright shall rule over them in the morning. Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell. (伯24:19; 诗39:11; 但7:22; 玛4:3; 路22:30; 林前6:2; 启2:26; 启20:4) 

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. (创5:24; 诗16:11; 诗17:15; 诗73:24; 但12:2; 何13:14) 

16 Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. 

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. (伯27:19; 提前6:7) 

18 For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— (申29:19; 诗10:3; 诗36:2; 路12:19) 

19 his soul will go to the generation of his fathers, who will never again see light. (创15:15; 伯33:30; 诗56:13) 

20 Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. (诗49:12)
