Ayuub 28
1 Hubaal lacagtu waxay leedahay god laga qodo, Oo dahabkuna wuxuu leeyahay meel lagu safeeyo.
“Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
2 Birta waxaa laga soo bixiyaa ciidda, Oo naxaastana waxaa laga dhalaaliyaa dhagaxa.
Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
3 Dadku gudcurkuu dhammeeyaa, Oo tan iyo soohdinta ugu shishaysana waxay baadhaan Dhagaxyada ku jira gudcurka qarada leh iyo hooska dhimashada.
Man puts an end to the darkness; he probes the farthest recesses for ore in deepest darkness.
4 Isagu god dheer ayuu ka qodaa meel ka fog meesha dadku deggan yahay. Iyaga waxaa illooba qofka ag mara; Oo waxay ka laallaadaan meel dadka ka fog, oo hor iyo dib bay u ruxmadaan.
Far from human habitation he cuts a shaft in places forgotten by the foot of man. Far from men he dangles and sways.
5 Cuntadu dhulkay ka soo baxdaa, Oo dhankiisa hoosena wuu rogmadaa sida wax dabku rogo oo kale.
Food may come from the earth, but from below it is transformed as by fire.
6 Dhagaxyadiisu waa meeshii dhagaxyo safayr ah, Wuxuuna leeyahay dahab boodh ah.
Its rocks are the source of sapphires, containing flecks of gold.
7 Wadiiqadaas haadka adagu ma yaqaan, Oo gorgorka ishiisuna ma ay arag,
No bird of prey knows that path; no falcon’s eye has seen it.
8 Bahallada kibirka lahu kuma ay joogsan, Oo libaaxa cadhaysanina ma uu ag marin.
Proud beasts have never trodden it; no lion has ever prowled over it.
9 Isagu gacantiisuu soo fidiyaa oo wuxuu saaraa dhagaxa adag, Oo buurahana wuu afgembiyaa oo xididdaduu ku rujiyaa.
The miner strikes the flint; he overturns mountains at their base.
10 Dhagaxyada dhexdooda wuxuu ka jeexaa keliyo, Oo ishiisuna wax kasta oo qaali ah way aragtaa.
He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure.
11 Wuxuu xidhaa durdurrada si ayan u dareerin, Oo waxa qarsoonna wuxuu u soo bannaan bixiyaa iftiinka.
He stops up the sources of the streams to bring what is hidden to light.
12 Laakiinse waa xaggee meesha xigmadda laga helaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?
But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?
13 Dadku qiimaheeda ma yaqaan, Oo kuwa nool dalkoodana lagama helo.
No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.
14 Moolku wuxuu leeyahay, Iguma jirto, Badduna waxay leedahay, Aniga ilama jirto.
The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
15 Dahab laguma heli karo, Lacagna looma miisaamo.
It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
16 Laguma qiimayn karo dahabka Oofir, Ama dhagaxa qaaliga ah oo onika la yidhaahdo ama xataa dhagaxa safayr la yidhaahdo.
It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
17 Dahab iyo madarad toona uma qalmi karaan, Oo beddelkeeduna ma noqon karo jawhar laga sameeyo dahab saafi ah.
Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it, nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.
18 Waxba lagama sheegi doono dhagax cas oo raamood la yidhaahdo, amase madarad, Hubaal xigmadda qiimaheedu waa ka sii sarreeyaa luul.
Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
19 Dhagaxa tobasiyos la yidhaahdo ee Itoobiya ka yimaadana uma qalmi doono, Oo xataa dahab saafi ahna laguma qiimayn doono.
Topaz from Cush cannot compare to it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20 Haddaba xigmaddu xaggee bay ka timaadaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?
From where then does wisdom come, and where does understanding dwell?
21 Maxaa yeelay, way ka qarsoon tahay kuwa nool indhahooda, Oo haadka hawadana waa laga deday.
It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.
22 Halligaadda iyo Dhimashadu waxay leeyihiin, Dhegahayaga ayaannu warkeeda ku maqalnay.
Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’
23 Ilaah ayaa jidkeeda garanaya, Oo isagaa meesheeda yaqaan.
But God understands its way, and He knows its place.
24 Waayo, isagu wuxuu fiiriyaa dunida darfaheeda, Oo wuxuu u jeedaa inta samada ka hoosaysa oo dhan,
For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
25 Markuu dabaysha miisaamo, Oo uu biyahana qiyaaso.
When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,
26 Markuu roobka qaynuun u sameeyey, Oo uu hillaaca onkodkana jid u sameeyey,
when He set a limit for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt,
27 Ayuu arkay, oo ka hadlay, Oo intuu adkeeyey ayuu weliba baadhay.
then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; He established it and searched it out.
28 Oo wuxuu dadka ku yidhi, Bal eega, Sayidka ka cabsashadiisa ayaa xigmad ah, Oo in sharka laga fogaadona waa waxgarasho.
And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
