Ayuub 28
1 Hubaal lacagtu waxay leedahay god laga qodo, Oo dahabkuna wuxuu leeyahay meel lagu safeeyo.
Silver has its fissures where it is first found, and gold has a place where it is melted.
2 Birta waxaa laga soo bixiyaa ciidda, Oo naxaastana waxaa laga dhalaaliyaa dhagaxa.
Iron is taken from the earth, and ore, unbound by heat, is turned into brass.
3 Dadku gudcurkuu dhammeeyaa, Oo tan iyo soohdinta ugu shishaysana waxay baadhaan Dhagaxyada ku jira gudcurka qarada leh iyo hooska dhimashada.
He has established a time for darkness, and he has settled on an end for all things, as well as for the stone that is in the gloom and shadow of death.
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.
The burning separates a pilgrim people from those who have been forgotten by the feet of the destitute man and from the unapproachable.
5 Cuntadu dhulkay ka soo baxdaa, Oo dhankiisa hoosena wuu rogmadaa sida wax dabku rogo oo kale.
The land, where bread appeared in its place, has been destroyed by fire.
6 Dhagaxyadiisu waa meeshii dhagaxyo safayr ah, Wuxuuna leeyahay dahab boodh ah.
Its stones are embedded with sapphires, and its soil, with gold.
7 Wadiiqadaas haadka adagu ma yaqaan, Oo gorgorka ishiisuna ma ay arag,
The bird does not know its path, nor has the eye of the vulture beheld it.
8 Bahallada kibirka lahu kuma ay joogsan, Oo libaaxa cadhaysanina ma uu ag marin.
The sons of merchants have not walked there, nor has the lioness traveled through it.
9 Isagu gacantiisuu soo fidiyaa oo wuxuu saaraa dhagaxa adag, Oo buurahana wuu afgembiyaa oo xididdaduu ku rujiyaa.
He has stretched out his hand to the rocks; he has overturned the foundations of the mountains.
10 Dhagaxyada dhexdooda wuxuu ka jeexaa keliyo, Oo ishiisuna wax kasta oo qaali ah way aragtaa.
He has cut rivers through the rocks, and his eye has seen all precious things.
11 Wuxuu xidhaa durdurrada si ayan u dareerin, Oo waxa qarsoonna wuxuu u soo bannaan bixiyaa iftiinka.
The depths of rivers he has also examined, and he has brought hidden things into the light.
12 Laakiinse waa xaggee meesha xigmadda laga helaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?
But, in truth, where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
13 Dadku qiimaheeda ma yaqaan, Oo kuwa nool dalkoodana lagama helo.
Man does not know its price, nor is it found in the land of those who live in sweetness.
14 Moolku wuxuu leeyahay, Iguma jirto, Badduna waxay leedahay, Aniga ilama jirto.
The abyss declares, “It is not in me.” And the sea says, “It is not with me.”
15 Dahab laguma heli karo, Lacagna looma miisaamo.
The finest gold will not be paid for it, nor will silver be weighed in exchange for it.
16 Laguma qiimayn karo dahabka Oofir, Ama dhagaxa qaaliga ah oo onika la yidhaahdo ama xataa dhagaxa safayr la yidhaahdo.
It will not be compared with the dyed colors of India, nor with the very costly stone sardonyx, nor with the sapphire.
17 Dahab iyo madarad toona uma qalmi karaan, Oo beddelkeeduna ma noqon karo jawhar laga sameeyo dahab saafi ah.
Neither gold nor crystal will be its equal; neither will vessels of gold be fitted for it.
18 Waxba lagama sheegi doono dhagax cas oo raamood la yidhaahdo, amase madarad, Hubaal xigmadda qiimaheedu waa ka sii sarreeyaa luul.
The exalted and the eminent will not be remembered in comparison with it. Yet wisdom is drawn out of concealment.
19 Dhagaxa tobasiyos la yidhaahdo ee Itoobiya ka yimaadana uma qalmi doono, Oo xataa dahab saafi ahna laguma qiimayn doono.
The topaz of Ethiopia will not be equal to it, nor will it be compared to the purest dyes.
20 Haddaba xigmaddu xaggee bay ka timaadaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?
So then, where does wisdom begin, and where is the place of understanding?
21 Maxaa yeelay, way ka qarsoon tahay kuwa nool indhahooda, Oo haadka hawadana waa laga deday.
It has been hidden from the eyes of all living things, just as the birds of the heavens escape notice.
22 Halligaadda iyo Dhimashadu waxay leeyihiin, Dhegahayaga ayaannu warkeeda ku maqalnay.
Perdition and death have said, “With our ears, we have heard its fame.”
23 Ilaah ayaa jidkeeda garanaya, Oo isagaa meesheeda yaqaan.
God understands its way, and he knows its location.
24 Waayo, isagu wuxuu fiiriyaa dunida darfaheeda, Oo wuxuu u jeedaa inta samada ka hoosaysa oo dhan,
For he beholds the limits of the world, and he looks upon all things that are under heaven.
25 Markuu dabaysha miisaamo, Oo uu biyahana qiyaaso.
He created a counterweight for the winds, and he suspended the waters to measure them.
26 Markuu roobka qaynuun u sameeyey, Oo uu hillaaca onkodkana jid u sameeyey,
At that time, he gave a law to the rain and a path to the resounding storms.
27 Ayuu arkay, oo ka hadlay, Oo intuu adkeeyey ayuu weliba baadhay.
Then he saw and explained it, and he made ready and examined it.
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. Such is wisdom. And to withdraw from evil, this is understanding.”
