Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1“Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.
1Cak ham a khorhui om tih sui ham khaw a ciil nah hmuen om.
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.
2Thicung khaw laipi lamloh a loh tih lungto te rhohum la a tlae.
3Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick 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.
4He breaks open a shaft away from where people live. They are forgotten by the foot. They hang far from men, they swing back and forth.
4Soklong te aka bakuep taeng lamloh a yoe tih kho neh caeh khaw a hnilh uh. Hlanghing lamkah aka tlayae rhoek khaw hinghuen uh.
5As for the earth, out of it comes bread. Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
5Diklai amah lamloh buh thoeng tih a hmui ah hmai bangla om.
6Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.
6A lungto te minhum hmuen tih a taengah sui laipi om.
7That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.
7A hawn te vatlung loh ming pawt tih maisi mik loh hmu pawh.
8The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.
8Te te sa ca rhoek loh cawt pawt tih te donglong te sathuengca long khaw pawn pawh.
9He puts his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.
9Hmailung soah a kut a hlah tih tlang pataeng a yung ah a phil.
10He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.
10Sokko lungpang dongah a khoel tih umponah cungkuem khaw a mik loh a hmuh.
11He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings out to light.
11Tuiva tuilong khaw a kueng tih olhuep te khosae la a khuen.
12“But where will wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?
12Tedae me rhoek ah nim cueihnah a hmuh tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
13Man doesn’t know its price, and it isn’t found in the land of the living.
13A phu te hlanghing loh ming pawt tih mulhing khohmuen ah a hmuh moenih.
14The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’
14Tuidung loh, “Te te kai ah moenih,” a ti tih tuitunli loh, “Kai taengah moenih,” a ti.
15It can’t be gotten for gold, neither will silver be weighed for its price.
15Te ham te cui cilh khaw pae thai pawt tih cueihnah a phu te cak khaw a khiing pah.
16It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
16Ophir sui nen khaw, oitha lung vang nen khaw minhum nen khawting pawh.
17Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither will it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.
17Te te sui neh canglung neh tluk pawt tih a hnothung he suicilh hnopai bal moenih.
18No mention will be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.
18Maerhuhlung neh disaehlung khaw thui lawk pawt tih cueihnah rhovoep tah lungvang lakah then.
19The topaz of Ethiopia will not equal it. It won’t be valued with pure gold.
19Te te Kusah vaya nen khaw tluk pawt tih sui cilh nen khaw ting pawh.
20Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?
20Te dongah cueihnah he me lamkah nim ha pawk tih yakmingnah hmuen he menim?
21Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.
21Mulhing boeih kah mik lamloh a thuh pah tih vaan kah vaa taeng lamloh a thuh.
22Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’
22Abaddon neh dueknah loh, “A olthang te kaimih hna neh ka yaak uh,” a ti.
23“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 under the whole sky.
24Amah loh diklai khobawt hil a paelki tih vaan hmui khaw boeih a hmuh.
25He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
25Yilh kah a khiing a khueh pah tih tui khaw cungnueh neh a nueh.
26When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder,
26Amah loh khotlan ham rhi a suem tih rhaek ol ham khaw longpuei a khueh.
27then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.
27Cueihnah te a hmuh tih a tae. Cueihnah te a sikim sak tih a khe bal.
28To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. 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.
