Jòb 28
Haitian Creole Version
28 ¶ Gen mi n anba tè kote yo jwenn ajan. Gen kote se la yo netwaye lò.
2 Yo fouye tè pou jwenn fè. Yo fonn wòch pou jwenn kwiv.
3 Yo desann ak limyè anba tè, kote ki fè nwa anpil, yo fouye byen fon nan vant latè, mezi yo kapab. Y' al chache wòch ki kache kote ki fè nwa anpil la.
4 Byen lwen, kote moun pa ka rete, kote moun pa janm mete pye yo, moun ap fouye gwo koridò anba tè. Y'ap travay pou kont yo, ak yon kòd pase nan ren yo, y'ap balanse nan twou yo.
5 Manje soti nan tè. Men, nan zantray latè a dife fin debòde.
6 Wòch latè a gen bèl pyè safi ladan l'. Nan pousyè a yo jwenn ti grenn lò.
7 Koukou pa janm konnen chemen pou ale la. Karanklou pa janm wè kote sa a ak je l'.
8 Ni lyon, ni ankenn lòt bèt nan bwa, pa janm mete pye yo la.
9 Yo fouye nan wòch dife. Yo fè gwo twou byen fon nan pye mòn yo.
10 Yo fè gwo koridò byen long nan wòch yo. Yo jwenn tout kalite bèl pyè bijou ki koute chè.
11 Yo fouye nan sous tèt dlo yo tou. Yo mete deyò tou sa ki te kache.
12 Men, kote nou ka jwenn konesans lan? Kote bon konprann lan ye menm?
13 Lèzòm pa konnen sa pou yo fè pou yo mete men sou li. Yo pa jwenn li ankenn kote sou latè.
14 ¶ Fon lanmè a deklare li pa gen bagay konsa. Lanmè a deklare bon konprann pa lakay li.
15 Ou te mèt gen lò, ou pa ka achte l'. Ou pa ka bay lajan pou ou genyen l'.
16 Li gen plis valè pase lò peyi Ofi a. Bèl pyè oniks ak safi pa ka parèt la.
17 Yo pa ka konpare l' ni ak lò ni ak bèl kristal. Yo pa ka boukante l' pou yon bèl veso fèt an lò.
18 Pou grenn koray ak wòch kristal menm, yo pa ka parèt la. Pito ou al dèyè bon konprann pase ou ale dèyè bèl pyè lanbi.
19 Topaz peyi Letiopi pa vo anyen devan l'. Pi bon lò a pa ka konpare ak bon konprann.
20 ¶ Men, kote nou ka jwenn konesans lan? Kote bon konprann lan ye menm?
21 Pa gen moun, pa gen bèt ki ka wè l', pa menm zwazo k'ap vole nan syèl la.
22 Ata lanmò ak simityè di se tande yo tande nonmen non l'.
23 Se Bondye ase ki konn chemen an. Se li ase ki konnen kote li rete.
24 Paske Bondye wè dènye bout latè. 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.
Job 28

Job 28
New International Version
Interlude: Where Wisdom Is Found
28 There is a mine for silver
and a place where gold is refined.(A)
2 Iron is taken from the earth,
and copper is smelted from ore.(B)
3 Mortals put an end to the darkness;(C)
they search out the farthest recesses
for ore in the blackest darkness.(D)
4 Far from human dwellings they cut a shaft,(E)
in places untouched by human feet;
far from other people they dangle and sway.
5 The earth, from which food comes,(F)
is transformed below as by fire;
6 lapis lazuli(G) comes from its rocks,
and its dust contains nuggets of gold.(H)
7 No bird of prey knows that hidden path,
no falcon’s eye has seen it.(I)
8 Proud beasts(J) do not set foot on it,
and no lion prowls there.(K)
9 People assault the flinty rock(L) with their hands
and lay bare the roots of the mountains.(M)
10 They tunnel through the rock;(N)
their eyes see all its treasures.(O)
11 They search[a] the sources of the rivers(P)
and bring hidden things(Q) to light.
12 But where can wisdom be found?(R)
Where does understanding dwell?(S)
13 No mortal comprehends its worth;(T)
it cannot be found in the land of the living.(U)
14 The deep(V) says, “It is not in me”;
the sea(W) says, “It is not with me.”
15 It cannot be bought with the finest gold,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.(X)
16 It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir,(Y)
with precious onyx or lapis lazuli.(Z)
17 Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it,(AA)
nor can it be had for jewels of gold.(AB)
18 Coral(AC) and jasper(AD) are not worthy of mention;
the price of wisdom is beyond rubies.(AE)
19 The topaz(AF) of Cush(AG) cannot compare with it;
it cannot be bought with pure gold.(AH)
20 Where then does wisdom come from?
Where does understanding dwell?(AI)
21 It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing,
concealed even from the birds in the sky.(AJ)
22 Destruction[b](AK) and Death(AL) say,
“Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.”
23 God understands the way to it
and he alone(AM) knows where it dwells,(AN)
24 for he views the ends of the earth(AO)
and sees everything under the heavens.(AP)
25 When he established the force of the wind
and measured out the waters,(AQ)
26 when he made a decree for the rain(AR)
and a path for the thunderstorm,(AS)
27 then he looked at wisdom and appraised it;
he confirmed it and tested it.(AT)
28 And he said to the human race,
“The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to shun evil(AU) is understanding.”(AV)
