Job 28
1 “Oasr luf ma silver uh pukpukyak we; Oasr pac acn ma gold uh aknasnasyeyuk we.
Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.
2 Mwet uh pukanak osra liki ye fohk uh Ac munanla copper uh in kofelik ac sororla liki eot uh.
Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.
3 Mwet uh suk pac acn ma lohsr oemeet in konauk ma oan we. Elos suk in acn loal lun faclu Ac pukanak yen lohsr uh in konauk eot uh.
He 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.
4 Loes liki acn ma mwet uh muta we — Acn ma falken mwet uh soenna fahsr we — Mwet uh pikin laf ye eol uh, Yen ma elos ac mukena orekma we. Elos ac atla na ke sucl uh ke elos ac orekma in luf uh.
The 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.
5 Mwe mongo kapak infohk uh yak, A ye pacna infohk se inge Ma nukewa itungyuki ac musalsalu.
The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.
6 Eot infohk uh oasr wek sapphire kac, Ac kutkut in faclu oasr gold kac.
The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.
7 Won hawk uh tia ku in liye inkanek nu ke lufin puk ma saok uh, Won vulture tia pac wi sohksok fin acn inge.
The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.
8 Wangin lion ku kutena kosro sulallal Wi forfor ke inkanek muku inge.
The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.
9 “Mwet uh pikin eot ma arulana keke, Ac ikruiya eol uh ke elos pukanla pe eol uh.
He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.
10 Ke elos ac putala lufin eot uh, Elos konauk wek na saok.
In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.
11 Elos ac pikin nwe sun acn ma infacl uh soror we me, Ac oru tuh ma wikla oan yen lohsr uh in ku in liyeyuk.
The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.
12 Tusruktu, pia acn ma lalmwetmet uh ku in koneyukyak we? Kut ac luti ya kut in etala?
But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
13 “Lalmwetmet uh tia ma ac ku in koneyukyak yurin mwet uh; Wangin mwet etu lupan saokiya.
Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.
14 Yen loal in meoa uh, ku inkof uh Fahk mu lalmwetmet uh tia koneyukyak we.
The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.
15 Silver ac gold tia ku in sang moli.
The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
16 Gold ma wo oemeet, ku wek ma arulana saok, Tia ku in saok oana lalmwetmet uh.
It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.
17 Lalmwetmet uh saok liki gold, Ac saok liki sufa orekla ke gold, ku glass ma wo emeet uh.
Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.
18 Saok lun lalmwetmet uh yohk liki Ma saok inkof uh, ku wek crystal ac ruby.
High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.
19 Wek topaz ac gold ma wo oemeet uh Tia ku in lumweyuk nu ke saok lun lalmwetmet uh.
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
20 “Fin angan, na pia mutaweyen lalmwetmet? Kut ac luti ya kut in etala?
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21 Wangin ma oasr moul la ku in liye, Finne won ke pacl el sohksok uh el tia pac liye.
It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.
22 Finne misa, ku mwe kunausla, Eltal fahk mu eltal lohng mukena ke srumunyuk.
Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.
23 “God mukena pa etu inkanek nu we, Ac etu lah lalmwetmet uh ac koneyukyak oya,
God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 Mweyen El liye acn nukewa faclu, Ac liye ma nukewa ma oan ye kusrao.
For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.
25 Ke God El sang ku nu sin eng uh, Ac wotela lah ac pia lupan meoa uh;
Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.
26 Ke pacl se God se sulela lah af uh ac kahkla oya, Ac inkanek ma pukunyeng in pulahl uh ac fahsr kac;
When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.
27 Pa ingan pacl se ma God El liye lalmwetmet, ac srikeya lupan woiya uh, Na El akkeyala.
Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.
28 “God El fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Kowos fin ke lalmwetmet, kowos enenu in sunakin Leum. Ac kowos fin lungse etauk, kowos enenu in forla liki ma koluk.’”
And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.
