Chapter 28
|
|
1
|
1
|
|
ΕΣΤΙ γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος, ὅθεν γίνεται, τόπος δὲ χρυσίου, ὅθεν διηθεῖται.
|
For there is a place for the silver, whence it comes, and a place for the gold, whence it is refined.
|
|
2
|
2
|
|
σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται, χαλκὸς δὲ ἴσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται.
|
For iron comes out of the earth, and brass is hewn out like stone.
|
|
3
|
3
|
|
τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει, καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται, λίθος σκοτία καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου.
|
He has set a bound to darkness, and he searches out every limit: a stone is darkness, and the shadow of death.
|
|
4
|
4
|
|
διακοπὴ χειμάρρου ἀπὸ κονίας, οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν, ἐκ βροτῶν ἐσαλεύθησαν.
|
There is a cutting off of the torrent by reason of dust: so they that forget the right way are weakened; they are removed from among men.
|
|
5
|
5
|
|
γῆ, ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος, ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ.
|
As for the earth, out of it shall come bread: under it has been turned up as it were fire.
|
|
6
|
6
|
|
τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς, καὶ χῶμα χρυσίον αὐτῷ.
|
Her stones are the place of the sapphire: and her dust supplies man with gold.
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
τρίβος, οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινόν, καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός·
|
There is a path, the fowl has not known it, neither has the eye of the vulture seen it:
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
καὶ οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὸν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων, οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς λέων.
|
neither have the sons of the proud trodden it, a lion has not passed upon it.
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινε χεῖρα αὐτοῦ, κατέστρεψε δὲ ἐκ ριζῶν ὄρη·
|
He has stretched forth his hand on the sharp rock, and turned up mountains by the roots:
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν διέρρηξε, πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἶδέ μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός.
|
and he has interrupted the whirlpools of rivers, and mine eye has seen every precious thing.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν, ἔδειξε δὲ αὐτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς.
|
And he has laid bare the depths of rivers, and has brought his power to light.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη; ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶ τῆς ἐπιστήμης;
|
But whence has wisdom been discovered? and what is the place of knowledge?
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
οὐκ οἶδε βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς, οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις.
|
A mortal has not known its way, neither indeed has it been discovered among men.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
ἄβυσσος εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔνεστιν ἐν ἐμοί· καὶ ἡ θάλασσα εἶπεν· οὐκ ἔστι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
|
The depth said, It is not in me: and the sea said, It is not with me.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
οὐ δώσει συγκλεισμὸν ἀντ᾿ αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς·
|
One shall not give fine gold instead of it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
καὶ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ ᾿Ωφίρ, ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ·
|
Neither shall it be compared with gold of Sophir, with the precious onyx and sapphire.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ·
|
Gold and crystal shall not be equalled to it, neither shall vessels of gold be its exchange.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
μετέωρα καὶ γαβὶς οὐ μνησθήσεται, καὶ ἕλκυσον σοφίαν ὑπὲρ τὰ ἐσώτατα·
|
Coral and fine pearl shall not be mentioned: but do thou esteem wisdom above the most precious things.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ τοπάζιον Αἰθιοπίας, χρυσίῳ καθαρῷ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται.
|
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equalled to it; it shall not be compared with pure gold.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη; ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶ τῆς συνέσεως;
|
Whence then is wisdom found? and of what kind is the place of understanding?
|
|
21
|
21
|
|
λέληθε πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἀπὸ πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ ἐκρύβη·
|
It has escaped the notice of every man, and has been hidden from the birds of the sky.
|
|
22
|
22
|
|
ἡ ἀπώλεια καὶ ὁ θάνατος εἶπαν· ἀκηκόαμεν δὲ αὐτῆς τὸ κλέος.
|
Destruction and Death said, We have heard the report of it.
|
|
23
|
23
|
|
ὁ Θεὸς εὖ συνέστησεν αὐτῆς τὴν ὁδόν, αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδε τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς·
|
God has well ordered the way of it, and he knows the place of it.
|
|
24
|
24
|
|
αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα, ἃ ἐποίησεν,
|
For he surveys the whole earth under heaven, knowing the things in the earth:
|
|
25
|
25
|
|
ἀνέμων σταθμὸν ὕδατος μέτρα·
|
all that he has made; the weight of the winds, the measures of the water.
|
|
26
|
26
|
|
ὅτι ἐποίησεν οὕτως, ἰδὼν ἠρίθμησε καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς·
|
When he made them, thus he saw and numbered them, and made a way for the pealing of the thunder.
|
|
27
|
27
|
|
τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτήν, ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν.
|
Then he saw it, and declared it: he prepared it and traced it out.
|
|
28
|
28
|
|
εἶπε δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ· ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστι σοφία, τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη.
|
And he said to man, Behold, godliness is wisdom; and to abstain from evil is understanding.
