1“Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
1«لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ لِلْفِضَّةِ مَعْدَنٌ، وَمَوْضِعٌ لِلذَّهَبِ حَيْثُ يُمَحِّصُونَهُ.
2Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
2ٱلْحَدِيدُ يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَٱلْحَجَرُ يَسْكُبُ نُحَاسًا.
3Man puts an end to the darkness; he probes the farthest recesses for ore in deepest darkness.
3قَدْ جَعَلَ لِلظُّلْمَةِ نَهَايَةً، وَإِلَى كُلِّ طَرَفٍ هُوَ يَفْحَصُ. حَجَرَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ.
4Far from human habitation he cuts a shaft in places forgotten by the foot of man. Far from men he dangles and sways.
4حَفَرَ مَنْجَمًا بَعِيدًا عَنِ ٱلسُّكَّانِ. بِلَا مَوْطِئٍ لِلْقَدَمِ، مُتَدَلِّينَ بَعِيدِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَتَدَلْدَلُونَ.
5Food may come from the earth, but from below it is transformed as by fire.
5أَرْضٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ٱلْخُبْزُ، أَسْفَلُهَا يَنْقَلِبُ كَمَا بِٱلنَّارِ.
6Its rocks are the source of sapphires, containing flecks of gold.
6حِجَارَتُهَا هِيَ مَوْضِعُ ٱلْيَاقُوتِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، وَفِيهَا تُرَابُ ٱلذَّهَبِ.
7No bird of prey knows that path; no falcon’s eye has seen it.
7سَبِيلٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ كَاسِرٌ، وَلَمْ تُبْصِرْهُ عَيْنُ بَاشِقٍ،
8Proud beasts have never trodden it; no lion has ever prowled over it.
8وَلَمْ تَدُسْهُ أَجْرَاءُ ٱلسَّبْعِ، وَلَمْ يَعْدُهُ ٱلزَّائِرُ.
9The miner strikes the flint; he overturns mountains at their base.
9إِلَى ٱلصَّوَّانِ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ. يَقْلِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ أُصُولِهَا.
10He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure.
10يَنْقُرُ فِي ٱلصُّخُورِ سَرَبًا، وَعَيْنُهُ تَرَى كُلَّ ثَمِينٍ.
11He stops up the sources of the streams to bring what is hidden to light.
11يَمْنَعُ رَشْحَ ٱلْأَنْهَارِ، وَأَبْرَزَ ٱلْخَفِيَّاتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ.
12But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?
12«أَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ تُوجَدُ، وَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَكَانُ ٱلْفَهْمِ؟
13No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.
13لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ قِيمَتَهَا وَلَا تُوجَدُ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ.
14The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
14ٱلْغَمْرُ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَتْ هِيَ فِيَّ، وَٱلْبَحْرُ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَتْ هِيَ عِنْدِي.
15It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
15لَا يُعْطَى ذَهَبٌ خَالِصٌ بَدَلَهَا، وَلَا تُوزَنُ فِضَّةٌ ثَمَنًا لَهَا.
16It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
16لَا تُوزَنُ بِذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ أَوْ بِٱلْجَزْعِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ أَوِ ٱلْيَاقُوتِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ.
17Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it, nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.
17لَا يُعَادِلُهَا ٱلذَّهَبُ وَلَا ٱلزُّجَاجُ، وَلَا تُبْدَلُ بِإِنَاءِ ذَهَبٍ إِبْرِيزٍ.
18Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
18لَا يُذْكَرُ ٱلْمَرْجَانُ أَوِ ٱلْبَلُّوْرُ، وَتَحْصِيلُ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱللَّآلِئِ.
19Topaz from Cush cannot compare to it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.
19لَا يُعَادِلُهَا يَاقُوتُ كُوشَ ٱلْأَصْفَرُ، وَلَا تُوزَنُ بِٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْخَالِصِ.
20From where then does wisdom come, and where does understanding dwell?
20«فَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِي ٱلْحِكْمَةُ، وَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَكَانُ ٱلْفَهْمِ؟
21It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.
21إِذْ أُخْفِيَتْ عَنْ عُيُونِ كُلِّ حَيٍّ، وَسُتِرَتْ عَنْ طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ.
22Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’
22اَلْهَلَاكُ وَٱلْمَوْتُ يَقُولَانِ: بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا خَبَرَهَا.
23But God understands its way, and He knows its place.
23ٱللهُ يَفْهَمُ طَرِيقَهَا، وَهُوَ عَالِمٌ بِمَكَانِهَا.
24For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
24لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يَرَى.
25When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,
25لِيَجْعَلَ لِلرِّيحِ وَزْنًا، وَيُعَايِرَ ٱلْمِيَاهَ بِمِقْيَاسٍ.
26when He set a limit for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt,
26لَمَّا جَعَلَ لِلْمَطَرِ فَرِيضَةً، وَمَذْهَبًا لِلصَّوَاعِقِ،
27then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; He established it and searched it out.
27حِينَئِذٍ رَآهَا وَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا، هَيَّأَهَا وَأَيْضًا بَحَثَ عَنْهَا،
28And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
28وَقَالَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ: هُوَذَا مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ، وَٱلْحَيَدَانُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ هُوَ ٱلْفَهْمُ».
