12 G353 taking up G5568.1 the psaltery G2532 and G2788 harp, G2532 and G2165 they are gladdened G5456 at the sound G5568 of a psalm.

13 G4931 And they complete G1161 G1722 [²with G18 ³good things G3588 G979 ¹their existence], G1473 G1722 and in G1161 G372 the rest G86 of Hades G2837 they go to sleep.

14 G3004 And he says G1161 G2962 to the lord, G868 Separate G575 from G1473 me! G3598 [⁴your ways G1473 G1492 ³to know G3756 ¹I do not G1014 ²want].

15 G5100 What G2425 is fit G3754 that G1398 we shall serve G1473 him? G2532 and G5100 what G5622 benefit, G3754 that G528 we shall meet G1473 with him?

¹³ They spend their days in prosperity and in a moment they go down to Sheol.
¹⁴ And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of your ways. ¹⁵ What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray to him?

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Kial malpiuloj vivas, Atingas maljunecon, akiras grandan havajxon? ⁸ Ilia idaro estas bone arangxita antaux ili, kune kun ili, Kaj ilia devenantaro estas antaux iliaj okuloj. ⁹ Iliaj domoj estas en paco, sen timo; Kaj la vergo de Dio ne estas sur ili. ¹⁰ Ilia bovo naskigas kaj ne estas forpusxata; Ilia bovino gravedigxas kaj ne abortas. ¹¹ Siajn malgrandajn infanojn ili elirigas kiel sxafaron, Kaj iliaj knaboj saltas. ¹² Ili gxojkrias sub la sonoj de tamburino kaj harpo, Ili estas gajaj sub la sonoj de fluto. ¹³ Ili pasigas siajn tagojn en bonstato, Kaj iras en SXeolon momente. ¹⁴ Kaj tamen ili diras al Dio:Foriru de ni, Ni ne deziras koni Viajn vojojn; ¹⁵ Kio estas la Plejpotenculo, ke ni servu al Li? Kaj kian utilon ni havos, se ni turnos nin al Li?

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Miksi jumalattomat elävät, tulevat vanhaksi ja lisääntyvät tavarassa? ⁸ Heidän siemenensä on pysyväinen heidän ympärillänsä, ja heidän sikiänsä ovat läsnä heitä. ⁹ Heidän huoneensa ovat vapaat pelvosta, ja Jumalan vitsa ei ole heidän päällänsä. ¹⁰ Heidän sonninsa päästetään, ja ei käy väärin, heidän lehmänsä poikivat, ja ei ole hedelmättömät. ¹¹ Heidän nuoret lapsensa käyvät ulos niinkuin lauma, ja heidän lapsensa hyppäävät. ¹² He riemuitsevat trumpuilla ja kanteleilla, ja iloitsevat huiluilla. ¹³ He vanhenevat hyvissä päivissä, ja menevät silmänräpäyksessä helvettiin. ¹⁴ Jotka sanovat Jumalalle: mene pois meidän tyköämme; sillä emme tahdo tietää sinun tietäs. ¹⁵ Kuka on Kaikkivaltias, että meidän pitää häntä palveleman? eli mitä meidän siitä hyvää on, että me häntä rukoilemme?

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Miksi jumalattomat saavat elää, vanheta, jopa voimassa vahvistua? ⁸ Heidän sukunsa on vankkana heidän edessään, heidän jälkeläisensä heidän silmäinsä alla. ⁹ Heidän kotinsa ovat rauhassa, kauhuista kaukana; ei satu heihin Jumalan vitsa. ¹⁰ Hänen sonninsa polkee eikä turhaan, hänen lehmänsä poikii eikä kesken. ¹¹ Poikansa he laskevat ulos niinkuin lammaslauman, heidän lapsensa hyppelevät leikiten. ¹² He virittävät laulujaan vaskirummun ja kanteleen kaikuessa ja iloitsevat huilun soidessa. ¹³ He viettävät päivänsä onnessa, mutta äkkiä heidät säikähytetään alas tuonelaan. ¹⁴ Ja kuitenkin he sanoivat Jumalalle: 'Mene pois meidän luotamme, sinun teistäsi emme tahdo tietää. ¹⁵ Mikä on Kaikkivaltias, että häntä palvelisimme? Ja mitä hyötyä meillä on siitä, että häntä rukoilemme?'

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Poukisa Bondye kite mechan yo ap viv? Li kite yo rive vye granmoun, epi tout zafè yo mache byen? ⁸ Yo gen pitit ak pitit pitit. Yo wè yo ap grandi devan je yo. ⁹ Bondye pa voye malè sou yo pou pini yo. Y'ap viv alèz lakay yo san ankenn danje. ¹⁰ Wi, bèf yo kwaze san mank, yo fè pitit san pèdi pòte. ¹¹ Timoun yo ap kouri tankou ti mouton nan savann. Y'ap jwe, y'ap sote tankou ti kabrit. ¹² Y'ap chante, y'ap jwe gita, y'ap bat tanbou, y'ap danse pandan moun ap jwe fif pou yo. ¹³ Jouk jou yo mouri, kè yo kontan. Yo desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a ak kè poze. ¹⁴ Se yo menm k'ap plede di Bondye: Kite n' an repo! Nou pa bezwen konnen jan ou vle pou moun viv la. ¹⁵ Kisa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a ye menm pou nou sèvi l' la? Kisa sa ap rapòte nou lè nou lapriyè l'?

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Mi az oka, hogy a gonoszok élnek, vénséget érnek, sõt még meg is gyarapodnak? ⁸ Az õ magvok elõttök nõ fel õ velök, és az õ sarjadékuk szemeik elõtt. ⁹ Házok békességes a félelemtõl, és az Isten vesszeje nincsen õ rajtok. ¹⁰ Bikája folyat és nem terméketlen, tehene megellik és el nem vetél. ¹¹ Kieresztik, mint nyájat, kisdedeiket, és ugrándoznak az õ magzataik. ¹² Dobot és hárfát ragadnak, és örvendeznek a síp zengésének. ¹³ Jóllétben töltik el napjaikat, és egy pillanat alatt szállnak alá a sírba; ¹⁴ Noha azt mondják Istennek: Távozzál el tõlünk, mert a te utaidnak tudásában nem gyönyörködünk! ¹⁵ Micsoda a Mindenható, hogy tiszteljük õt, és mit nyerünk vele, ha esedezünk elõtte?

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Mengapa orang jahat diberi umur panjang oleh Allah, dan harta mereka terus bertambah? ⁸ Mereka hidup cukup lama sehingga melihat anak cucu mereka menjadi dewasa. ⁹ Rumah tangga mereka aman sentosa; Allah tidak mendatangkan bencana atas mereka. ¹⁰ Ternak mereka berkembang biak, dan tanpa kesulitan, beranak. ¹¹ Anak-anak orang jahat berlompatan dengan gembira, seperti domba muda yang bersukaria. ¹² Diiringi bunyi rebana, seruling dan kecapi, mereka ramai bernyanyi dan menari-nari. ¹³ Hari-harinya dihabiskan dalam kebahagiaan, dan mereka meninggal penuh kedamaian. ¹⁴ Padahal mereka telah berkata kepada Allah, "Jauhilah kami dan pergilah! Kami tak peduli dan tak ingin mengerti maksud dan kehendak-Mu bagi hidup kami." ¹⁵ Pikir mereka, "Melayani Allah tak ada gunanya, dan berdoa kepada-Nya tiada manfaatnya.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Perchè vivono gli empi? Perchè invecchiano, ed anche son forti e vigorosi? ⁸ La lor progenie è stabilita nel lor cospetto, insieme con loro; E i lor discendenti son davanti agli occhi loro. ⁹ Le case loro non sono se non pace, senza spavento; E la verga di Dio non è sopra loro. ¹⁰ I lor tori ammontano, e non fallano; Le lor vacche figliano, e non isperdono. ¹¹ Essi mandano fuori i lor fanciulletti come pecore; E i lor figliuoli van saltellando. ¹² Essi alzano la voce col tamburo e con la cetera; E si rallegrano al suon dell’organo. ¹³ Logorano la loro età in piacere, E poi in un momento scendono nel sepolcro. ¹⁴ Quantunque abbiano detto a Dio: Dipartiti da noi; Perciocchè noi non prendiam piacere nella conoscenza delle tue vie. ¹⁵ Che è l’Onnipotente, che noi gli serviamo? E che profitto faremo se lo preghiamo?

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Perché mai vivono gli empi? Perché arrivano alla vecchiaia ed anche crescon di forze? ⁸ La loro progenie prospera, sotto ai loro sguardi, intorno ad essi, e i lor rampolli fioriscon sotto gli occhi loro. ⁹ La loro casa è in pace, al sicuro da spaventi, e la verga di Dio non li colpisce. ¹⁰ Il loro toro monta e non falla, la loro vacca figlia senz’abortire. ¹¹ Mandan fuori come un gregge i loro piccini, e i loro figliuoli saltano e ballano. ¹² Cantano a suon di timpano e di cetra, e si rallegrano al suon della zampogna. ¹³ Passano felici i loro giorni, poi scendono in un attimo nel soggiorno dei morti. ¹⁴ Eppure, diceano a Dio: "Ritirati da noi! Noi non ci curiamo di conoscer le tue vie! ¹⁵ Che è l’Onnipotente perché lo serviamo? che guadagneremo a pregarlo?"

Korean⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ 어찌하여 악인이 살고 수를 누리고 세력이 강하냐 ? ⁸ 씨가 그들의 앞에서 그들과 함께 굳게 서고 자손이 그들의 목전에서 그러하구나 ⁹ 그 집이 평안하여 두려움이 없고 하나님의 매가 그 위에 임하지 아니하며 ¹⁰ 그 수소는 영락없이 새끼를 배게 하고 그 암소는 새끼를 낳고 낙태하지 않는구나 ¹¹ 그들은 아이들을 내어보냄이 양 떼 같고 그 자녀들은 춤추는구나 ¹² 그들이 소고와 수금으로 노래하고 피리 불어 즐기며 ¹³ 그날을 형통하게 지내다가 경각간에 음부에 내려가느니라 ¹⁴ 그러할지라도 그들은 하나님께 말하기를 우리를 떠나소서 우리가 주의 도리 알기를 즐겨하지 아니하나이다 ¹⁵ 전능자가 누구기에 우리가 섬기며 우리가 그에게 기도한들 무슨 이익을 얻으랴 하는구나

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Kodėl nedorėliai gyvena iki senatvės ir yra kupini jėgos? ⁸ Jų palikuonys įsikuria jų aplinkoje, jų vaikaičiai gyvena su jais. ⁹ Jų namai saugūs, jie nieko nebijo, ir Dievo lazda jų neplaka. ¹⁰ Jų galvijai veisiasi, karvės apsiveršiuoja ir neišsimeta. ¹¹ Jų vaikai šokinėja kaip ėriukai ir žaidžia. ¹² Jie paima būgnelius ir arfas ir džiaugiasi, skambant fleitai. ¹³ Jie gyvena pasiturinčiai ir per akimirksnį nueina į kapus, ¹⁴ nors jie sako Dievui: ‘Atsitrauk nuo mūsų. Mes nenorime pažinti Tavo kelių. ¹⁵ Kas yra Visagalis, kad Jam turėtume tarnauti? Kokią naudą turėsime, jei melsimės Jam?’

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Przeczże niepobożni żyją, starzeją się, i wzmagają się w bogactwa? ⁸ Nasienie ich trwałe jest przed obliczem ich z nimi, a rodzina ich przed oczyma ich. ⁹ Domy ich bezpieczne od strachu, a niemasz rózgi Bożej nad nimi. ¹⁰ Byk ich przypuszczon bywa, a nie traci nasienia; krowa ich rodzi, a nie pomiata. ¹¹ Wypuszczają maluczkie dziatki swoje jako trzodę, a synowie ich wyskakują. ¹² Wykrzykają przy bębnie i przy harfie, a weselą się przy głosie muzyki. ¹³ Trawią w dobrem dni swoje, a we mgnieniu oka do grobu zstępują. ¹⁴ Którzy mawiają Bogu: Odejdź od nas; bo dróg twoich znać nie chcemy. ¹⁵ Któż jest Wszechmocny, abyśmy mu służyli? a cóż nam to pomoże, choćbyśmy mu się modlili?

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Por que razão vivem os ímpios, envelhecem, e ainda se robustecem em poder? ⁸ Os seus filhos se estabelecem à vista deles, e os seus descendentes perante os seus olhos. ⁹ As suas casas estão em paz, sem temor, e a vara de Deus não está sobre eles. ¹⁰ O seu touro gera, e não falha; pare a sua vaca, e não aborta. ¹¹ Eles fazem sair os seus pequeninos, como a um rebanho, e suas crianças andam saltando. ¹² Levantam a voz, ao som do tamboril e da harpa, e regozijam-se ao som da flauta. ¹³ Na prosperidade passam os seus dias, e num momento descem ao Seol. ¹⁴ Eles dizem a Deus: retira-te de nós, pois não desejamos ter conhecimento dos teus caminhos. ¹⁵ Que é o Todo-Poderoso, para que nós o sirvamos? E que nos aproveitará, se lhe fizermos orações?

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Hvorfor blir de ugudelige i live, blir gamle og tiltar endog i velmakt? ⁸ De ser sine barn trives omkring sig, og sine efterkommere har de for sine øine. ⁹ Deres hus er sikre mot redsler, og Guds ris kommer ikke over dem. ¹⁰ Hans okse parrer sig og spiller ikke, hans ku kalver og kaster ikke i utide. ¹¹ De slipper sine barn ut som småfeet, og deres smågutter hopper omkring. ¹² De synger til tromme og citar, og de gleder sig ved fløitens lyd. ¹³ De lever sine dager i lykke, og i et øieblikk farer de ned til dødsriket. ¹⁴ Og dog sa de til Gud: Vik fra oss! Vi har ikke lyst til å kjenne dine veier. ¹⁵ Hvad er den Allmektige, at vi skulde tjene ham, og hvad gagn skulde vi ha av å vende oss til ham med bønn?

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Pentruce trăiesc cei răi? Pentruce îi vezi îmbătrînind şi sporind în putere? ⁸ Sămînţa lor se întăreşte cu ei şi în faţa lor, odraslele lor propăşesc supt ochii lor. ⁹ În casele lor domneşte pacea, fără umbră de frică; nuiaua lui Dumnezeu nu vine să -i lovească. ¹⁰ Taurii lor sînt plini de vlagă şi prăsitori, juncanele lor zămislesc şi nu leapădă. ¹¹ Îşi lasă copiii să se împrăştie ca nişte oi, şi copiii se sbeguiesc în jurul lor. ¹² Cîntă cu sunet de tobă şi de arfă, se desfătează cu sunete de caval. ¹³ Îşi petrec zilele în fericire, şi se pogoară într'o clipă în locuinţa morţilor. ¹⁴ Şi totuş ziceau lui Dumnezeu:,Pleacă dela noi. Nu voim să cunoaştem căile Tale. ¹⁵ Ce este Cel Atot puternic, ca să -I slujim? Ce vom cîştiga dacă -I vom înălţa rugăciuni?

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Чого несправедливі живуть, доживають до віку, й багатством зміцняються? ⁸ Насіння їх міцно стоїть перед ними, при них, а їхні нащадки на їхніх очах... ⁹ Доми їхні то спокій від страху, і над ними нема бича Божого. ¹⁰ Спинається бик його, і не даремно, зачинає корова його, й не скидає. ¹¹ Вони випускають своїх молодят, як отару, а їх діти вибрикують. ¹² Вони голос здіймають при бубні та цитрі, і веселяться при звуку сопілки. ¹³ Провадять в добрі свої дні, і сходять в спокої в шеол. ¹⁴ А до Бога говорять вони: Уступися від нас, ми ж доріг Твоїх знати не хочем! ¹⁵ Що таке Всемогутній, що будем служити Йому? І що скористаєм, як будем благати Його?
