Job 28:13-28

ABP_Strongs(i)
  13 G3756 [2knows not G1492   G1027.1 1A mortal] G3598 her way, G3761 in no way G3361   G2147 is she found G1722 among G444 men.
  14 G12 The abyss G2036 said, G3756 She is not G1510.2.3   G1722 in G1473 me; G2532 and G3588 the G2281 sea G2036 said, G3756 She is not G1510.2.3   G3326 with G1473 me.
  15 G3756 One shall not give G1325   G4787.4 an investment G473 for G1473 her, G2532 and G3756 shall not G2476 set G694 silver G465 as a bargain G1473 for her.
  16 G2532 And G3756 she shall not G4821.1 be compared with G5553 the gold G* of Ophir, G1722 with G3689.1 [2onyx G5093 1valuable] G2532 and G4552 sapphire.
  17 G3756 [4shall not G2473.1 5be equal G1473 6to her G5553 1Gold G2532 2and G5194 3glass], G2532 nor G3588   G235.1 [3 as barter G1473 4for her G4632 1items G5552 2of gold].
  18 G3349.2 Meteorites G2532 and G1041.2 crystal G3756 shall not G3403 be mentioned; G2532 but G1670 draw on G4678 wisdom G5228 above G3588 the G2081.1 innermost things .
  19 G3756 [3shall not G2473.1 4be equal G1473 5to her G5116 1 The topaz G* 2of Ethiopia]; G5553 [4gold G2513 3pure G3756 1she shall not G4821.1 2be compared with].
  20 G3588 But concerning G1161   G4678 wisdom, G4159 from what place G2147 shall she be found? G4169 and of what kind G1161   G5117 of place G1510.2.3 is G3588   G4907 understanding?
  21 G2990 She has escaped notice G3956 of every G444 man; G2532 and G575 from G4071 the birds G3588 of the G3772 heaven G2928 she was hid.
  22 G3588   G684 Destruction G2532 and G3588   G2288 death G2036 said, G191 We have heard G1473 of her G3588   G2811 fame.
  23 G3588 God G2316   G2095 [4well G4921 1commended G1473 2her G3588   G3598 3way]; G1473 and he G1161   G1492 knows G3588   G5117 her place. G1473  
  24 G1473 For he G1063   G3588   G5259 [2under G3772 3heaven G3956 1inspects all things], G2186.4   G1492 knowing G3588 the things G1722 in G3588 the G1093 earth;
  25 G3956 all G3739 which G4160 he made, G417 [2of the winds G4712.4 1 even the weight], G5204 [2of water G3358 1 and the measures].
  26 G3753 When G4160 he made them, G3779 thus G1492 seeing G705 he counted them, G2532 and G3598 made a way G1722 for G5098.1 the vibration G5456 of sound.
  27 G5119 Then G1492 he beheld G1473 it, G1834 he described G1473 it; G2090 preparing G1840.1 he tracked it out.
  28 G2036 And he said G1161   G444 to man, G2400 Behold, G3588   G2317 godliness G1510.2.3 is G4678 wisdom; G3588   G1161 and G566 being at a distance G575 from G2556 evils G1510.2.3 is G1989.1 higher knowledge.

  22 H11 The Place of Loss H4194 and death H559 [H8804] say, H8085 [H8804] We have heard H8088 the fame H241 of it with our ears.

  28 H120 And to man H559 [H8799] he said, H3374 Behold, the fear H136 of the Sovereign, H2451 that is wisdom; H5493 [H8800] and to depart H7451 from evil H998 is understanding.

Brenton_Greek(i) 13 Οὐκ οἶδε βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ μὴν εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις. 14 Ἄβυσσος εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔνεστιν ἐν ἐμοί· καὶ ἡ θάλασσα εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔνεστι μετʼ ἐμοῦ. 15 Οὐ δώσει συγκλεισμὸν ἀντʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς. 16 Καὶ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ Σωφίρ, ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ. 17 Οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος, καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ. 18 Μετέωρα καὶ γαβὶς οὐ μνησθήσεται, καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα. 19 Οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας, χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται.
20 Ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη; ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶ τῆς συνέσεως; 21 Λέληθε πάντα ἄνθρωπον, καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη. 22 Ἡ ἀπώλεια καὶ ὁ θάνατος εἶπαν, ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος.
23 Ὁ Θεὸς εὖ συνέστησεν αὐτῆς τὴν ὁδὸν, αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδε τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς. 24 Αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ· εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ, πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν, 25 ἀνέμων σταθμὸν, ὕδατος μέτρα 26 ὅτι ἐποίησεν· οὕτως ἰδὼν ἠρίθμησε, καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς. 27 Τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτήν, ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν. 28 Εἶπε δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ, ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστι σοφία, τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν, ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη.
Leeser(i) 13 Man knoweth not her value: and she is not to be found in the land of the living. 14 The deep saith, Not in me is she: and the sea saith, She is not with me. 15 No fine gold can be given in lieu of her, and silver cannot be weighed out as her price. 16 She cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. 17 She cannot be estimated after gold and glass; and not in exchange for her can vessels of refined gold be taken. 18 Coral and crystal will not be thought of; and the value of wisdom is above pearls. 19 She cannot be estimated after the topaz of Ethiopia, nor can she be valued with pure gold. 20 But wisdom—whence cometh she? and where is the place of understanding? 21 Yea, she is hidden from the eyes of all living, and from the fowls of the heavens is she concealed. 22 Perdition and death say, With our ears have we heard a report of her. 23 God alone understandeth her way, and he knoweth her place; 24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, whatever is under the whole heaven doth he see. 25 When he imparted weight unto the wind; and when the waters he established by measure; 26 When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of his thunders; 27 Then did he see her, and make her known; he established her, and also searched her out. 28 And he said unto man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to eschew evil is understanding.
YLT(i) 13 Man hath not known its arrangement, Nor is it found in the land of the living.
14 The deep hath said, `It is not in me,' And the sea hath said, `It is not with me.' 15 Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed—its price. 16 It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious onyx and sapphire, 17 Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor is its exchange a vessel of fine gold. 18 Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of wisdom is above rubies. 19 Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is not valued.
20 And the wisdom—whence doth it come? And where is this, the place of understanding? 21 It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden. 22 Destruction and death have said: `With our ears we have heard its fame.' 23 God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place. 24 For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole heavens He doth see, 25 To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out in measure. 26 In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the brightness of the voices, 27 Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it, and also searched it out, 28 And He saith to man: —`Lo, fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to turn from evil is understanding.'
JuliaSmith(i) 13 And man knew not its estimation, and it shall not be found in the land of the living. 14 The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, Not with me. 15 Shut up gold shall not be given for it, and silver shall not be weighed its price 16 It shall not be weighed with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire. 17 Gold and crystal shall not compare with it, and its exchange, vessels of pure gold. 18 High things, and crystal, shall not be remembered: and the drawing out of wisdom above pearls. 19 The topaz of Cush shall not compare with it; with pure gold it shall not be weighed. 20 And from whence shall wisdom come? and where this place of understanding? 21 And being hid from the eyes of all living, and covered from the birds of the heavens. 22 Destruction and death said, We heard its report with our ears: 23 God understood its way, and he knew its place. 24 For he will look to the ends of the earth, he will see under all the heavens; 25 To make the weight for the wind; and he weighed the waters by measure. 26 In his making a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the voices. 27 Then he saw, and he will recount it; he prepared it, and also he searched it out 28 And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Darby(i) 13 Man knoweth not the value thereof; and it is not found in the land of the living. 14 The deep saith, It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not with me. 15 Choice gold cannot be given for it, nor silver be weighed for its price. 16 It is not set in the balance with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire. 17 Gold and glass cannot be compared to it, nor vessels of fine gold be its exchange. 18 Corals and crystal are no more remembered; yea, the acquisition of wisdom is above rubies. 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be compared to it, neither shall it be set in the balance with pure gold. 20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? 21 For it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the fowl of the heavens. 22 Destruction and death say, We have heard its report with our ears. 23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place: 24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, he seeth under the whole heaven. 25 In making a weight for the wind, and meting out the waters by measure, 26 In appointing a statute for the rain, and a way for the thunder`s flash: 27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he established it, yea, and searched it out; 28 And unto man he said, Lo, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Rotherham(i) 13 Mortal knoweth not the way thereof, neither can it be found in the land of the living;
14 The resounding deep, hath said, It is not in me! And, the sea, hath said, It is not with me! 15 Pure gold cannot be given in its stead, neither can silver he weighed as the value thereof; 16 It cannot be put into the scales against the gold of Ophir, with costly onyx, or sapphire; 17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can, the exchange thereof, be a vessel of pure gold, 18 Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral; 19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, Against purest gold, can it not be weighed.
20 Whence then cometh, wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? 21 Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed? 22 Destruction and death, have said, With our ears, have we heard the report thereof! 23 GOD, understandeth the way thereof, and, he, discerneth the place thereof; 24 For, he, unto the ends of the earth, directeth his look, under all the heavens, he seeth; 25 Making, for the wind, a weight, and, the waters, he proved by measure, 26 When he made, for the rain, a decree, and a way for the lightning of thunders, 27 Then, saw he it, and declared it, He settled it, yea also he searched it out; 28 And said to the son of earth, Lo! the reverence of the Lord, that, is wisdom, and, to avoid evil, is understanding.

And the sea says, There is no such thing with me!" 15 Solid gold cannot be given instead of it, And silver cannot be weighed as its price. 16 It cannot be classed with certified gold of Ophir, Or with precious onyx and sapphire. 17 Neither gold or glass can be its appraisal, Or articles of glittering gold its exchange. 18 Coral and crystal, such is not even mentioned; Wisdom is more attractive than rubies. 19 Peridot of Ethiopia is not its appraisal; With pure certified gold it cannot be classed. 20 From where then can wisdom come? And just where is the place of understanding? 21 It has been obscured from the eyes of every living thing, And from the flier of the heavens it has been concealed. 22 Abaddon and death say:With our ears we have heard report of it. 23 Elohim, He understands its way, And He, yea He Himself knows its place. 24 For He looks to the ends of the earth; He sees everything under the heavens. 25 When He granted weight to the wind And when He regulated the waters by measure, 26 When He imposed a statutory limit on the rain And a pathway for the perceptible portents of thunderclaps, 27 Then He saw it and rehearsed it; He prepared it and also fathomed it. 28 And He said to mankind, Behold, the fear of Yahweh, it is wisdom, And to withdraw from evil is understanding.

En quel lieu est l’intelligence? 21 Elle a échappé aux recherches de tous les hommes; elle est cachée pour les oiseaux du ciel. 22 La perdition et la mort ont dit: Nous avons entendu parler de sa gloire. 23 Dieu seul a tracé sa voie; seul il sait où elle est. 24 Seul il voit tout sous le ciel; il connaît tout sur la terre. 25 26 27 28

Albanian(i) 13 Njeriu nuk ua di vlerën dhe ajo nuk gjendet mbi tokën e të gjallëve. 14 Humnera thotë: "Nuk është tek unë"; deti thotë: "Nuk qëndron pranë meje". 15 Nuk përftohet duke e shkëmbyer me ar të rafinuar as blihet duke peshuar argjend. 16 Nuk shtihet në dorë me arin e Ofirit, me oniksin e çmuar ose me safirin. 17 Ari dhe kristali nuk mund të barazohen me të dhe nuk këmbehet me enë ari të kulluar. 18 Korali dhe kristali as që meritojnë të përmenden; vlera e diturisë është më e madhe se margaritarët. 19 Topazi i Etiopisë nuk mund të barazohet dhe nuk mund të vlerësohet me ar të kulluar. 20 Por atëherë nga rrjedh dituria dhe ku e ka selinë zgjuarsia? 21 Ajo u fshihet syve të çdo të gjalli, është e mbuluar për zogjtë e qiellit. 22 Abadoni dhe vdekja thonë: "Kemi dëgjuar të flitet për të me veshët tona". 23 Vetëm Perëndia njeh rrugën e saj, vetëm ai e di ku ndodhet, 24 sepse ai vë re skajet e tokës dhe sheh tërë ato që ndodhen nën qiejt. 25 Kur caktoi peshën e erës dhe u caktoi ujërave një masë, 26 kur bëri një ligj për shiun dhe një rrugë për vetëtimën e bubullimave, 27 atëherë pa dhe e tregoi, e vendosi dhe madje e hetoi, 28 dhe i tha njeriut: "Ja, të kesh frikë nga Zoti, kjo është dituri, dhe t'i largohesh së keqes është zgjuarsi"".
RST(i) 13 Не знает человек цены ее, и она не обретается на земле живых. 14 Бездна говорит: не во мне она; и море говорит: не у меня. 15 Не дается она за золото и не приобретается она за вес серебра; 16 не оценивается она золотом Офирским, ни драгоценным ониксом, ни сапфиром; 17 не равняется с нею золото и кристалл, и не выменяешь ее на сосуды из чистого золота. 18 А о кораллах и жемчуге и упоминать нечего, и приобретение премудрости выше рубинов. 19 Не равняется с нею топаз Ефиопский; чистым золотом не оценивается она. 20 Откуда же исходит премудрость? и где место разума? 21 Сокрыта она от очей всего живущего и от птиц небесных утаена. 22 Аваддон и смерть говорят: ушами нашими слышали мы слух о ней. 23 Бог знает путь ее, и Он ведает место ее. 24 Ибо Он прозирает до концов земли и видит под всем небом. 25 Когда Он ветру полагал вес и располагал воду по мере, 26 когда назначал устав дождю и путь для молнии громоносной, 27 тогда Он видел ее и явил ее, приготовил ее и еще испытал ее 28 и сказал человеку: вот, страх Господень есть истинная премудрость, и удаление от зла – разум.
Arabic(i) 13 لا يعرف الانسان قيمتها ولا توجد في ارض الاحياء. 14 الغمر يقول ليست هي فيّ والبحر يقول ليست هي عندي. 15 لا يعطى ذهب خالص بدلها ولا توزن فضة ثمنا لها. 16 لا توزن بذهب اوفير او بالجزع الكريم او الياقوت الازرق. 17 لا يعادلها الذهب ولا الزجاج ولا تبدل باناء ذهب ابريز. 18 لا يذكر المرجان او البلور وتحصيل الحكمة خير من اللآلئ. 19 لا يعادلها ياقوت كوش الاصفر ولا توزن بالذهب الخالص 20 فمن اين تأتي الحكمة واين هو مكان الفهم. 21 اذ أخفيت عن عيون كل حيّ وسترت عن طير السماء. 22 الهلاك والموت يقولان بآذاننا قد سمعنا خبرها. 23 الله يفهم طريقها وهو عالم بمكانها. 24 لانه هو ينظر الى اقاصي الارض. تحت كل السموات يرى. 25 ليجعل للريح وزنا ويعاير المياه بمقياس. 26 لما جعل للمطر فريضة ومذهبا للصواعق 27 حينئذ رآها واخبر بها هيأها وايضا بحث عنها 28 وقال للانسان هوذا مخافة الرب هي الحكمة والحيدان عن الشر هو الفهم
Bulgarian(i) 13 Човекът не познава стойността й и тя не се намира в земята на живите. 14 Бездната казва: Не е в мен. И морето казва: Не е при мен. 15 Не може да се даде за нея пречистено злато, ни сребро да се претегли като нейна цена. 16 Не може се оцени с офирско злато, със скъпоценен оникс и сапфир. 17 Злато или кристал не могат с нея да се мерят, нито да се размени с произведения от чисто злато. 18 Корали и кристали няма даже да се споменат, защото стойността на мъдростта е повече от скъпоценни камъни. 19 Етиопският топаз не може с нея да се мери, нито може да се оцени тя с чисто злато. 20 Откъде тогава идва мъдростта? И къде е мястото на разума? 21 Тя е укрита от очите на всички живи и е скрита от небесните птици. 22 Авадон и смъртта казват: С ушите си сме чули слух за нея. 23 Бог разбира пътя й, Той мястото й знае. 24 Понеже Той гледа до краищата на земята и вижда под цялото небе. 25 Щом определи тегло на ветровете и претегли с мярка водите, 26 когато направи закон за дъжда и пътека за светкавицата на гърма, 27 тогава Той я видя и я обяви; установи я и също я изследва. 28 И каза на човека: Ето, страхът от Господа, това е мъдрост, отдалечаване от зло е разум.
Croatian(i) 13 Čovjek njezina ne poznaje puta, u zemlji živih nisu je otkrili. 14 Bezdan govori: 'U meni je nema!' a more: 'Ne nalazi se kod mene!' 15 Zlatom se čistim kupiti ne može, ni cijenu njenu srebrom odmjeriti; 16 ne mjeri se ona zlatom ofirskim, ni oniksom skupim pa ni safirom. 17 Sa zlatom, staklom ne poređuje se, nit' se daje za sud od suha zlata. 18 Čemu spominjat' prozirac, koralje, bolje je steći Mudrost no biserje. 19 Što je prema njoj topaz etiopski? Ni čistim zlatom ne procjenjuje se. 20 Ali otkuda nam Mudrost dolazi? Na kojemu mjestu Razum prebiva? 21 Sakrivena je očima svih živih; ona izmiče pticama nebeskim. 22 Propast paklena i Smrt izjavljuju: 'Za slavu njenu mi smo samo čuli.' 23 Jedino je Bog put njen proniknuo, on jedini znade gdje se nalazi. 24 Jer pogledom granice zemlje hvata i opaža sve pod svodom nebeskim. 25 Kad htjede vjetru odredit težinu i mjerilom svu vodu izmjeriti, 26 kad je zakone daždu nametnuo i oblacima gromovnim putove, 27 tad ju je vidio te izmjerio, učvrstio i do dna ispitao. 28 A potom je rekao čovjeku: Strah Gospodnji - eto što je mudrost; 'Zla se kloni' - to ti je razumnost."
BKR(i) 13 Neví smrtelný člověk ceny její, aniž bývá nalezena v zemi živých. 14 Propast praví: Není ve mně, moře také dí: Není u mne. 15 Nedává se zlata čistého za ni, aniž odváženo bývá stříbro za směnu její. 16 Nemůže býti ceněna za zlato z Ofir, ani za onychin drahý a zafir. 17 Nevrovná se jí zlato ani drahý kámen, aniž směněna býti může za nádobu z ryzího zlata. 18 Korálů pak a perel se nepřipomíná; nebo nabytí moudrosti dražší jest nad klénoty. 19 Není jí rovný v ceně smaragd z Mouřenínské země, aniž za čisté zlato může ceněna býti. 20 Odkudž tedy moudrost přichází? A kde jest místo rozumnosti? 21 Poněvadž skryta jest před očima všelikého živého, i před nebeským ptactvem ukryta jest. 22 Zahynutí i smrt praví: Ušima svýma slyšely jsme pověst o ní. 23 Sám Bůh rozumí cestě její, a on ví místo její. 24 Nebo on končiny země spatřuje, a všecko, což jest pod nebem, vidí, 25 Tak že větru váhu dává, a vody v míru odvažuje. 26 On též vyměřuje dešti právo, i cestu blýskání hromů. 27 Hned tehdáž viděl ji, a rozhlásil ji,připravil ji, a vystihl ji. 28 Člověku pak řekl: Aj, bázeň Páně jest moudrost, a odstoupiti od zlého rozumnost.
Danish(i) 13 Et Menneske kender ikke dens Værdi, og den findes ikke i de levendes Land. 14 Afgr unden siger: Den er ikke i mig, og Havet siger: Den er ikke hos mig. 15 Den kan ikke faas for det fineste Guld, ej heller dens Værdi opvejes med Sølv. 16 Den kan ikke opvejes med Guld fra Ofir, ej heller med den dyrebare Onyks og Safir. 17 Den kan ikke vurderes lige med Guld og Krystal; man kan ikke tilbytte sig den for Kar af fint Guld. 18 Koraller og Edelstene tales der ikke om; og Visdoms Besiddelse er bedre end Perler. 19 Topazer af Morland kunne ikke vurderes lige imod den; den kan ikke opvejes med det rene Guld. 20 Men Visdommen - hvorfra kommer den? og hvor er Indsigtens Sted? 21 Den er skjult for alle levendes Øjne, den er og dulgt for Fuglene under Himmelen. 22 Afgrunden og Døden sige: Kun et Rygte om den hørte vi med vore Øren. 23 Gud forstaar dens Vej, og han kender dens Sted. 24 Thi han skuer indtil Jordens Ender; han ser hen under al Himmelen. 25 Der han gav Vinden sin Vægt og bestemte Vandet dets Maal, 26 der han satte en Lov for Regnen og en Vej for Lynet, som gaar foran Torden, 27 da saa han den og kundgjorde den, beredte den, ja gennemskuede den. 28 Og han sagde til Mennesket: Se, Herrens Frygt, det er Visdom, og at vige fra det onde, det er Forstand.

Li voye je l', li gade tou sa ki anba syèl la. 25 Lè Bondye t'ap bay van yo pèz yo, lè li t'ap bay dlo lanmè a mezi kote pou l' rive a, 26 lè li t'ap bay lòd kote pou lapli tonbe ak chemen pou loraj yo pran lè y'ap gwonde, 27 se lè sa a li te wè bon konprann, li wè sa li vo. Li egzaminen l' byen egzaminen, li sonde l' byen sonde. 28 Apre sa, Bondye di moun konsa: -Gen krentif pou Bondye, se sa ki rele bon konprann. Vire do bay sa ki mal, men sa ki rele gen lespri.
Hungarian(i) 13 Halandó a hozzá vivõ utat nem ismeri, az élõk földén az nem található. 14 A mélység azt mondja: Nincsen az bennem; a tenger azt mondja: én nálam sincsen. 15 Színaranyért meg nem szerezhetõ, ára ezüsttel meg nem fizethetõ. 16 Nem mérhetõ össze Ofir aranyával, nem drága onikszszal, sem zafirral. 17 Nem ér fel vele az arany és gyémánt, aranyedényekért be nem cserélhetõ. 18 Korall és kristály említni sem való; a bölcseség ára drágább a gyöngyöknél. 19 Nem ér fel vele Kúsnak topáza, színaranynyal sem mérhetõ össze. 20 A bölcseség honnan jõ tehát, és hol van helye az értelemnek? 21 Rejtve van az minden élõ szemei elõtt, az ég madarai elõl is fedve van. 22 A pokol és halál azt mondják: [Csak] hírét hallottuk füleinkkel! 23 Isten tudja annak útját, õ ismeri annak helyét. 24 Mert õ ellát a föld határira, õ lát mindent az ég alatt. 25 Mikor a szélnek súlyt szerzett, és a vizeket mértékre vette; 26 Mikor az esõnek határt szabott, és mennydörgõ villámoknak útat: 27 Akkor látta és kijelentette azt, megalapította és meg is vizsgálta azt. 28 Az embernek pedig mondá: Ímé az Úrnak félelme: az a bölcseség, és az értelem: a gonosztól való eltávozás.
Indonesian(i) 13 Hikmat tidak ada di tengah-tengah manusia; tak ada yang tahu nilainya yang sesungguhnya. 14 Dasar-dasar laut dan samudra berkata bahwa hikmat tidak ada padanya. 15 Hikmat tak dapat ditukar walau dengan emas murni, dan dengan perak pun tak dapat dibeli. 16 Emas dan permata yang paling berharga tidak dapat mengimbangi nilainya. 17 Emas atau kaca halus tak dapat berbanding dengannya, tak dapat dibayar dengan jambangan kencana. 18 Hikmat jauh lebih tinggi nilainya daripada merjan, kristal, atau mutiara. 19 Batu topas yang asli dan emas yang murni, kurang nilainya dari akal budi. 20 Di manakah sumbernya kebijaksanaan? Di mana kita mendapat pengertian? 21 Tak ada makhluk hidup yang pernah melihatnya, bahkan burung di udara tak menampaknya. 22 Maut dan kebinasaan pun berkata, mereka hanya mendengar desas-desus belaka. 23 Hanya Allah tahu tempat hikmat berada, hanya Dia mengetahui jalan ke sana, 24 karena Ia melihat ujung-ujung bumi; segala sesuatu di bawah langit Ia amati. 25 Ketika angin diberi-Nya kekuatan, dan ditetapkan-Nya batas-batas lautan; 26 ketika ditentukan-Nya tempat hujan jatuh, dan jalan yang dilalui kilat dan guruh; 27 pada waktu itulah hikmat dilihat-Nya, diuji-Nya nilainya, lalu diberikan-Nya restu-Nya. 28 Allah berkata kepada manusia, "Untuk mendapat hikmat, Allah harus kamu hormati. Untuk dapat mengerti, kejahatan harus kamu jauhi."
Italian(i) 13 L’uomo non conosce il prezzo di essa; Ella non si trova nella terra de’ viventi. 14 L’abisso dice: Ella non è in me; E il mare dice: Ella non è appresso di me. 15 Ei non si può dare oro per essa, Nè può pesarsi argento per lo prezzo suo. 16 Ella non può essere apprezzata ad oro di Ofir, Nè ad onice prezioso, nè a zaffiro. 17 Nè l’oro, nè il diamante, non posson pareggiarla di prezzo; Ed alcun vasellamento d’oro fino non può darsi in iscambio di essa. 18 Appo lei non si fa menzione di coralli, nè di perle; La valuta della sapienza è maggiore che quella delle gemme. 19 Il topazio di Etiopia non la può pareggiar di prezzo; Ella non può essere apprezzata ad oro puro. 20 Onde viene adunque la sapienza? E dove è il luogo dell’intelligenza? 21 Conciossiachè ella sia nascosta agli occhi d’ogni vivente, Ed occulta agli uccelli del cielo. 22 Il luogo della perdizione e la morte dicono: Noi abbiamo con gli orecchi solo udita la fama di essa. 23 Iddio solo intende la via di essa, E conosce il suo luogo. 24 Perciocchè egli riguarda fino all’estremità della terra, Egli vede sotto tutti i cieli. 25 Quando egli dava il peso al vento, E pesava le acque a certa misura; 26 Quando egli poneva il suo ordine alla pioggia, E la via a’ lampi de’ tuoni; 27 Allora egli la vedeva, e la contava; Egli l’ordinava, ed anche l’investigava. 28 Ma egli ha detto all’uomo: Ecco, il timor del Signore è la sapienza; E il ritrarsi dal male è l’intelligenza.
ItalianRiveduta(i) 13 L’uomo non ne sa la via, non la si trova sulla terra de’ viventi. 14 L’abisso dice: "Non è in me"; il mare dice: "Non sta da me". 15 Non la si ottiene in cambio d’oro, né la si compra a peso d’argento. 16 Non la si acquista con l’oro di Ofir, con l’onice prezioso o con lo zaffiro. 17 L’oro ed il vetro non reggono al suo confronto, non la si dà in cambio di vasi d’oro fino. 18 Non si parli di corallo, di cristallo; la Sapienza val più delle perle. 19 Il topazio d’Etiopia non può starle a fronte, l’oro puro non ne bilancia il valore. 20 Donde vien dunque la Sapienza? E dov’è il luogo della Intelligenza? 21 Essa è nascosta agli occhi d’ogni vivente, è celata agli uccelli del cielo. 22 L’abisso e la morte dicono: "Ne abbiamo avuto qualche sentore". 23 Dio solo conosce la via che vi mena, egli solo sa il luogo dove dimora, 24 perché il suo sguardo giunge sino alle estremità della terra, perch’egli vede tutto quel ch’è sotto i cieli. 25 Quando regolò il peso del vento e fissò la misura dell’acque, 26 quando dette una legge alla pioggia e tracciò la strada al lampo dei tuoni, 27 allora la vide e la rivelò, la stabilì ed anche l’investigò. 28 E disse all’uomo: "Ecco: temere il Signore: questa è la Sapienza, e fuggire il male è l’Intelligenza"."

Lithuanian(i) 13 Joks žmogus nežino jos kainos, jos nėra gyvųjų krašte. 14 Gelmė sako: ‘Ji ne pas mane’, jūra sako: ‘Jos nėra manyje’. 15 Jos negali pirkti už auksą nė įsigyti už sidabrą. 16 Negalima jos palyginti su Ofyro auksu nė su oniksu ar safyru. 17 Neprilygsta jai auksas ir krištolas ir negalima jos gauti už brangius aukso dirbinius. 18 Koralai ir perlai neverti minėti, nes išmintis brangesnė už rubinus. 19 Jai neprilygsta Etiopijos topazas, už gryną auksą jos nenupirksi. 20 Iš kur tad ateina išmintis ir kur supratimo šaltinis? 21 Ji yra paslėpta gyvųjų akims, net padangių paukščiai jos nesuranda. 22 Mirtis ir prapultis sako: ‘Mes girdėjome apie jos garsą’. 23 Dievas žino jos kelią ir vietą, kur ji yra. 24 Jis stebi visus žemės kraštus ir mato po visu dangumi. 25 Jis pasveria vėją ir išmatuoja vandenis. 26 Jis nustatė lietui laiką ir nurodė žaibui kelią. 27 Tada Jis matė ją ir paskelbė ją, paruošė ją ir ją išmėgino. 28 Žmogui Jis pasakė: ‘Viešpaties baimė yra išmintis ir šalintis nuo pikta yra supratimas’ ”.
PBG(i) 13 Nie wie człowiek śmiertelny ceny jej, ani bywa znaleziona w ziemi żyjących. 14 Przepaść mówi: Niemasz jej we mnie; i morze też powiada: Niemasz jej u mnie. 15 Nie dawają szczerego złota za nię; ani odważają srebra, za odmianę jej. 16 Nie może być oszacowana za złoto Ofir, ani za Onychyn drogi, ani za Safir. 17 Nie porówna z nią złoto, ani kryształ, ani odmiana jej może być za klejnot złota szczerego. 18 Koralów i pereł nie wspomina, bo nabycie mądrości kosztowniejsze jest nad perły. 19 Nie zrówna z nią i szmaragd z ziemi etyjopskiej; ani za złoto najczystsze szacowana być może. 20 Skądże tedy mądrość pochodzi? albo gdzie jest miejsce rozumu? 21 Gdyż zakryta jest od oczu wszystkich żyjących, i przed ptastwem niebieskim zatajona jest. 22 Zginienie i śmierć rzekły: Uszyma swemi słyszałyśmy sławę jej. 23 Bóg sam rozumie drogę jej, a on wie miejsce jej. 24 Bo on na kończyny ziemi patrzy, a wszystko, co jest pod niebem, widzi. 25 Wiatrom uczynił wagę, a wody odważył pod miarą. 26 On też prawo dżdżom postanowił, a drogę błyskawicom gromów. 27 W ten czas ją widział, i głosił ją: zgotował ją, i doszedł jej. 28 Ale człowiekowi rzekł: Oto bojaźń Pańska jest mądrością, a warować się złego, jest rozumem.
Portuguese(i) 13 O homem não lhe conhece o caminho; nem se acha ela na terra dos viventes. 14 O abismo diz: Não está em mim; e o mar diz: Ela não está comigo. 15 Não pode ser comprada com ouro fino, nem a peso de prata se trocará. 16 Nem se pode avaliar em ouro fino de Ofir, nem em pedras preciosas de berilo, ou safira. 17 Com ela não se pode comparar o ouro ou o vidro; nem se trocara por jóias de ouro fino. 18 Não se fará menção de coral nem de cristal; porque a aquisição da sabedoria é melhor que a das pérolas. 19 Não se lhe igualará o topázio da Etiópia, nem se pode comprar por ouro puro. 20 Donde, pois, vem a sabedoria? Onde está o lugar do entendimento? 21 Está encoberta aos olhos de todo vivente, e oculta às aves do céu. 22 O Abadon e a morte dizem: Ouvimos com os nossos ouvidos um rumor dela. 23 Deus entende o seu caminho, e ele sabe o seu lugar. 24 Porque ele perscruta até as extremidades da terra, sim, ele vê tudo o que há debaixo do céu. 25 Quando regulou o peso do vento, e fixou a medida das águas; 26 quando prescreveu leis para a chuva e caminho para o relâmpago dos trovões; 27 então viu a sabedoria e a manifestou; estabeleceu-a, e também a esquadrinhou. 28 E disse ao homem: Eis que o temor do Senhor é a sabedoria, e o apartar-se do mal é o entendimento.

Og hvor har forstanden sin bolig? 21 Den er dulgt for alle levendes øine, den er skjult for himmelens fugler; 22 avgrunnen og døden sier: Bare et frasagn om den er kommet oss for øre. 23 Gud kjenner veien til den, og han vet hvor den har sin bolig. 24 For hans øie når til jordens ender; allting under himmelen ser han. 25 Da han fastsatte vindens vekt og gav vannet dets mål, 26 da han satte en lov for regnet og en vei for lynstrålen, 27 da så han visdommen og åpenbarte den, da lot han den stå frem og utforsket den. 28 Og han sa til mennesket: Se, å frykte Herren, det er visdom, og å fly det onde er forstand.

Unde este locuinţa priceperii? 21 Este ascunsă de ochii tuturor celor vii, este ascunsă de păsările cerului. 22 Adîncul şi moartea zic:,Noi am auzit vorbindu-se de ea.` 23 Dumnezeu îi ştie drumul, El îi cunoaşte locuinţa. 24 Căci El vede pînă la marginile pămîntului, zăreşte totul subt ceruri. 25 Cînd a rînduit greutatea vîntului, şi cînd a hotărît măsura apelor, 26 cînd a dat legi ploii, şi cînd a însemnat drumul fulgerului şi tunetului, 27 atunci a văzut înţelepciunea şi a arătat -o, i -a pus temeliile şi a pus -o la încercare. 28 Apoi a zis omului:,Iată, frica de Domnul, aceasta este înţelepciunea; depărtarea de rău, este pricepere.`
Ukrainian(i) 13 Людина не знає ціни їй, і вона у країні живих не знаходиться. 14 Безодня говорить: Вона не в мені! і море звіщає: Вона не зо мною! 15 Щирого золота дати за неї не можна, і не важиться срібло ціною за неї. 16 Не важать за неї офірського золота, ні дорогого оніксу й сапфіру. 17 Золото й скло не рівняються в вартості їй, і її не зміняти на посуд із щирого золота. 18 Коралі й кришталь і не згадуються, а набуток премудрости ліпший за перли! 19 Не рівняється їй етіопський топаз, і не важиться золото щире за неї. 20 А мудрість ізвідки проходить, і де місце розуму? 21 Бо вона від очей усього живого захована, і від птаства небесного скрита вона. 22 Аваддон той і смерть промовляють: Ушима своїми ми чули про неї лиш чутку! 23 Тільки Бог розуміє дорогу її, й тільки Він знає місце її! 24 Бо Він аж на кінці землі придивляється, бачить під небом усім. 25 Коли Він чинив вагу вітрові, а воду утворював мірою, 26 коли Він уставу складав для дощу та дороги для блискавки грому, 27 тоді Він побачив її та про неї повів, міцно поставив її та її дослідив! 28 І сказав Він людині тоді: Таж страх Господній це мудрість, а відступ від злого це розум!
