¹“Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.

¹Hubaal lacagtu waxay leedahay god laga qodo, Oo dahabkuna wuxuu leeyahay meel lagu safeeyo.

²Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted out of the ore.

²Birta waxaa laga soo bixiyaa ciidda, Oo naxaastana waxaa laga dhalaaliyaa dhagaxa.

³Man sets an end to darkness, and searches out, to the furthest bound, the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

³Dadku gudcurkuu dhammeeyaa, Oo tan iyo soohdinta ugu shishaysana waxay baadhaan Dhagaxyada ku jira gudcurka qarada leh iyo hooska dhimashada.

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.

⁴Isagu god dheer ayuu ka qodaa meel ka fog meesha dadku deggan yahay. Iyaga waxaa illooba qofka ag mara; Oo waxay ka laallaadaan meel dadka ka fog, oo hor iyo dib bay u ruxmadaan.

⁵As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

⁵Cuntadu dhulkay ka soo baxdaa, Oo dhankiisa hoosena wuu rogmadaa sida wax dabku rogo oo kale.

⁶Sapphires come from its rocks. It has dust of gold.

⁶Dhagaxyadiisu waa meeshii dhagaxyo safayr ah, Wuxuuna leeyahay dahab boodh ah.

⁷That path no bird of prey knows, neither has the falcon’s eye seen it.

⁷Wadiiqadaas haadka adagu ma yaqaan, Oo gorgorka ishiisuna ma ay arag,

⁸The proud animals have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion passed by there.

⁸Bahallada kibirka lahu kuma ay joogsan, Oo libaaxa cadhaysanina ma uu ag marin.

⁹He puts forth his hand on the flinty rock, and he overturns the mountains by the roots.

⁹Isagu gacantiisuu soo fidiyaa oo wuxuu saaraa dhagaxa adag, Oo buurahana wuu afgembiyaa oo xididdaduu ku rujiyaa.

¹⁰He cuts out channels among the rocks. His eye sees every precious thing.

¹⁰Dhagaxyada dhexdooda wuxuu ka jeexaa keliyo, Oo ishiisuna wax kasta oo qaali ah way aragtaa.

¹¹He binds the streams that they don’t trickle. The thing that is hidden he brings forth to light.

¹¹Wuxuu xidhaa durdurrada si ayan u dareerin, Oo waxa qarsoonna wuxuu u soo bannaan bixiyaa iftiinka.

¹²“But where shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding?

¹²Laakiinse waa xaggee meesha xigmadda laga helaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?

¹³Man doesn’t know its price; Neither is it found in the land of the living.

¹³Dadku qiimaheeda ma yaqaan, Oo kuwa nool dalkoodana lagama helo.

¹⁴The deep says, ‘It isn’t in me.’ The sea says, ‘It isn’t with me.’

¹⁴Moolku wuxuu leeyahay, Iguma jirto, Badduna waxay leedahay, Aniga ilama jirto.

¹⁵It can’t be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for its price.

¹⁵Dahab laguma heli karo, Lacagna looma miisaamo.

¹⁶It can’t be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire or, lapis lazuli .

¹⁶Laguma qiimayn karo dahabka Oofir, Ama dhagaxa qaaliga ah oo onika la yidhaahdo ama xataa dhagaxa safayr la yidhaahdo.

¹⁷Gold and glass can’t equal it, neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

¹⁷Dahab iyo madarad toona uma qalmi karaan, Oo beddelkeeduna ma noqon karo jawhar laga sameeyo dahab saafi ah.

¹⁸No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal. Yes, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

¹⁸Waxba lagama sheegi doono dhagax cas oo raamood la yidhaahdo, amase madarad, Hubaal xigmadda qiimaheedu waa ka sii sarreeyaa luul.

¹⁹The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

¹⁹Dhagaxa tobasiyos la yidhaahdo ee Itoobiya ka yimaadana uma qalmi doono, Oo xataa dahab saafi ahna laguma qiimayn doono.

²⁰Where then does wisdom come from? Where is the place of understanding?

²⁰Haddaba xigmaddu xaggee bay ka timaadaa? Oo waxgarashada meesheeduse waa xaggee?

²¹Seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the birds of the sky.

²¹Maxaa yeelay, way ka qarsoon tahay kuwa nool indhahooda, Oo haadka hawadana waa laga deday.

²²Destruction and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

²²Halligaadda iyo Dhimashadu waxay leeyihiin, Dhegahayaga ayaannu warkeeda ku maqalnay.

²³“God understands its way, and he knows its place.

²³Ilaah ayaa jidkeeda garanaya, Oo isagaa meesheeda yaqaan.

²⁴For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees under the whole sky.

²⁴Waayo, isagu wuxuu fiiriyaa dunida darfaheeda, Oo wuxuu u jeedaa inta samada ka hoosaysa oo dhan,

²⁵He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.

²⁵Markuu dabaysha miisaamo, Oo uu biyahana qiyaaso.

²⁶When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder;

²⁶Markuu roobka qaynuun u sameeyey, Oo uu hillaaca onkodkana jid u sameeyey,

²⁷then he saw it, and declared it. He established it, yes, and searched it out.

²⁷Ayuu arkay, oo ka hadlay, Oo intuu adkeeyey ayuu weliba baadhay.Oo wuxuu dadka ku yidhi, Bal eega, Sayidka ka cabsashadiisa ayaa xigmad ah, Oo in sharka laga fogaadona waa waxgarasho.

²⁸To man he said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” , that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

²⁸Oo wuxuu dadka ku yidhi, Bal eega, Sayidka ka cabsashadiisa ayaa xigmad ah, Oo in sharka laga fogaadona waa waxgarasho.
