Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.
1Cak ham a khorhui om tih sui ham khaw a ciil nah hmuen om.
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.
2Thicung khaw laipi lamloh a loh tih lungto te rhohum la a tlae.
3He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death.
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.
4The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at.
4Soklong te aka bakuep taeng lamloh a yoe tih kho neh caeh khaw a hnilh uh. Hlanghing lamkah aka tlayae rhoek khaw hinghuen uh.
5The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.
5Diklai amah lamloh buh thoeng tih a hmui ah hmai bangla om.
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.
6A lungto te minhum hmuen tih a taengah sui laipi om.
7The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.
7A hawn te vatlung loh ming pawt tih maisi mik loh hmu pawh.
8The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.
8Te te sa ca rhoek loh cawt pawt tih te donglong te sathuengca long khaw pawn pawh.
9He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.
9Hmailung soah a kut a hlah tih tlang pataeng a yung ah a phil.
10In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.
10Sokko lungpang dongah a khoel tih umponah cungkuem khaw a mik loh a hmuh.
11The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.
11Tuiva tuilong khaw a kueng tih olhuep te khosae la a khuen.
12But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
12Tedae me rhoek ah nim cueihnah a hmuh tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
13Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.
13A phu te hlanghing loh ming pawt tih mulhing khohmuen ah a hmuh moenih.
14The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.
14Tuidung loh, “Te te kai ah moenih,” a ti tih tuitunli loh, “Kai taengah moenih,” a ti.
15The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
15Te ham te cui cilh khaw pae thai pawt tih cueihnah a phu te cak khaw a khiing pah.
16It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.
16Ophir sui nen khaw, oitha lung vang nen khaw minhum nen khawting pawh.
17Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.
17Te te sui neh canglung neh tluk pawt tih a hnothung he suicilh hnopai bal moenih.
18High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.
18Maerhuhlung neh disaehlung khaw thui lawk pawt tih cueihnah rhovoep tah lungvang lakah then.
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
19Te te Kusah vaya nen khaw tluk pawt tih sui cilh nen khaw ting pawh.
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
20Te dongah cueihnah he me lamkah nim ha pawk tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
21It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.
21Mulhing boeih kah mik lamloh a thuh pah tih vaan kah vaa taeng lamloh a thuh.
22Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.
22Abaddon neh dueknah loh, “A olthang te kaimih hna neh ka yaak uh,” a ti.
23God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.
23Pathen loh a longpuei a yakming tih a hmuen te khaw amah loh a ming.
24For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.
24Amah loh diklai khobawt hil a paelki tih vaan hmui khaw boeih a hmuh.
25Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.
25Yilh kah a khiing a khueh pah tih tui khaw cungnueh neh a nueh.
26When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.
26Amah loh khotlan ham rhi a suem tih rhaek ol ham khaw longpuei a khueh.
27Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.
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 depart 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.
