Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1“Surely there is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.
1Cak ham a khorhui om tih sui ham khaw a ciil nah hmuen om.
2Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.
2Thicung khaw laipi lamloh a loh tih lungto te rhohum la a tlae.
3Man puts an end to the darkness; he probes the farthest recesses for ore in deepest darkness.
3A bawtnah te a hmuep neh a khuetnah a cungkuem hil a khueh. Anih loh lungto te a hmuep neh dueknah hlipkhup ah khaw a hoem.
4Far from human habitation he cuts a shaft in places forgotten by the foot of man. Far from men he dangles and sways.
4Soklong te aka bakuep taeng lamloh a yoe tih kho neh caeh khaw a hnilh uh. Hlanghing lamkah aka tlayae rhoek khaw hinghuen uh.
5Food may come from the earth, but from below it is transformed as by fire.
5Diklai amah lamloh buh thoeng tih a hmui ah hmai bangla om.
6Its rocks are the source of sapphires, containing flecks of gold.
6A lungto te minhum hmuen tih a taengah sui laipi om.
7No bird of prey knows that path; no falcon’s eye has seen it.
7A hawn te vatlung loh ming pawt tih maisi mik loh hmu pawh.
8Proud beasts have never trodden it; no lion has ever prowled over it.
8Te te sa ca rhoek loh cawt pawt tih te donglong te sathuengca long khaw pawn pawh.
9The miner strikes the flint; he overturns mountains at their base.
9Hmailung soah a kut a hlah tih tlang pataeng a yung ah a phil.
10He hews out channels in the rocks, and his eyes spot every treasure.
10Sokko lungpang dongah a khoel tih umponah cungkuem khaw a mik loh a hmuh.
11He stops up the sources of the streams to bring what is hidden to light.
11Tuiva tuilong khaw a kueng tih olhuep te khosae la a khuen.
12But where can wisdom be found, and where does understanding dwell?
12Tedae me rhoek ah nim cueihnah a hmuh tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
13No man can know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.
13A phu te hlanghing loh ming pawt tih mulhing khohmuen ah a hmuh moenih.
14The ocean depths say, ‘It is not in me,’ while the sea declares, ‘It is not with me.’
14Tuidung loh, “Te te kai ah moenih,” a ti tih tuitunli loh, “Kai taengah moenih,” a ti.
15It cannot be bought with gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver.
15Te ham te cui cilh khaw pae thai pawt tih cueihnah a phu te cak khaw a khiing pah.
16It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.
16Ophir sui nen khaw, oitha lung vang nen khaw minhum nen khawting pawh.
17Neither gold nor crystal can compare to it, nor jewels of fine gold be exchanged for it.
17Te te sui neh canglung neh tluk pawt tih a hnothung he suicilh hnopai bal moenih.
18Coral and quartz are unworthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.
18Maerhuhlung neh disaehlung khaw thui lawk pawt tih cueihnah rhovoep tah lungvang lakah then.
19Topaz from Cush cannot compare to it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.
19Te te Kusah vaya nen khaw tluk pawt tih sui cilh nen khaw ting pawh.
20From where then does wisdom come, and where does understanding dwell?
20Te dongah cueihnah he me lamkah nim ha pawk tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
21It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air.
21Mulhing boeih kah mik lamloh a thuh pah tih vaan kah vaa taeng lamloh a thuh.
22Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’
22Abaddon neh dueknah loh, “A olthang te kaimih hna neh ka yaak uh,” a ti.
23But God understands its way, and He knows its place.
23Pathen loh a longpuei a yakming tih a hmuen te khaw amah loh a ming.
24For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
24Amah loh diklai khobawt hil a paelki tih vaan hmui khaw boeih a hmuh.
25When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,
25Yilh kah a khiing a khueh pah tih tui khaw cungnueh neh a nueh.
26when He set a limit for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt,
26Amah loh khotlan ham rhi a suem tih rhaek ol ham khaw longpuei a khueh.
27then He looked at wisdom and appraised it; He established it and searched it out.
27Cueihnah te a hmuh tih a tae. Cueihnah te a sikim sak tih a khe bal.
28And He said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
28Hlang taengah khaw, 'Ka Boeipa hinyahnah he cueihnah la om tih boethae lamloh nong he yakmingnah,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
