ယောဘ 28
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold [where] they fine [it].
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass [is] melted [out of] the stone.
3 ၃ လူသည် မှောင်မိုက်ကို ပျောက်စေတတ်၏။ အဆုံးတိုင်အောင်၎င်း မှောင်မိုက်ကျောက်၊ သေမင်း အရိပ်တိုင်အောင်၎င်း လိုက်၍ စစ်တတ်၏။
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shades of death.
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant: [even the waters] forgotten by the foot: they are dried up, they have gone away from men.
[As for] the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
The stones of it [are] the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
[There is] a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vultur's eye hath not seen:
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and [the thing that is] hid he bringeth forth to light.
But where shall wisdom be found? and where [is] the place of understanding?
Man knoweth not the price of it; neither is it found in the land of the living.
The depth saith, It [is] not in me: and the sea saith, [It is] not with me.
It cannot be obtained for gold, neither shall silver be weighed [for] the price of it.
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it [shall not be for] jewels of fine gold.
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom [is] above rubies.
The topaz of Cush shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where [is] the place of understanding?
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears.
God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth its place.
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, [and] seeth under the whole heaven;
25 ၂၅ လေကိုချိန်လျက်၊ ရေကိုလည်းခြင်လျက်၊ မြေကြီး စွန်းတိုင်အောင် ကြည့်ရှု၍၊ ကောင်းကင်အောက်၌ ရှိသမျှ တို့ကို မြင်တော်မူ၏။
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
28 ၂၈ လူတို့အားလည်း ထာဝရဘုရားကို ကြောက်ရွံ့ခြင်းသည် ပညာဖြစ်ကြောင်းနှင့်၊ ဒုစရိုက်ကို ရှောင်ခြင်း သည် ဥာဏ်ဖြစ်ကြောင်းကို မိန့်တော်မူပြီဟုမြွက်ဆို၏။
And to man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding.
