| 1 ἔστιν γὰρ ἀργυρίῳ τόπος ὅθεν γίνεται τόπος δὲ χρυσίῳ ὅθεν διηθεῖται 2 σίδηρος μὲν γὰρ ἐκ γῆς γίνεται χαλκὸς δὲ ἴσα λίθῳ λατομεῖται 3 τάξιν ἔθετο σκότει καὶ πᾶν πέρας αὐτὸς ἐξακριβάζεται λίθος σκοτία καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου 4 διακοπὴ χειμάρρου ἀπὸ κονίας οἱ δὲ ἐπιλανθανόμενοι ὁδὸν δικαίαν ἠσθένησαν ἐκ βροτῶν 5 γῆ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἐξελεύσεται ἄρτος ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς ἐστράφη ὡσεὶ πῦρ 6 τόπος σαπφείρου οἱ λίθοι αὐτῆς καὶ χῶμα χρυσίον αὐτῷ 7 τρίβος οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτὴν πετεινόν καὶ οὐ παρέβλεψεν αὐτὴν ὀφθαλμὸς γυπός 8 οὐκ ἐπάτησαν αὐτὴν υἱοὶ ἀλαζόνων οὐ παρῆλθεν ἐπ' αὐτῆς λέων 9 ἐν ἀκροτόμῳ ἐξέτεινεν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ κατέστρεψεν δὲ ἐκ ῥιζῶν ὄρη 10 δίνας δὲ ποταμῶν ἔρρηξεν πᾶν δὲ ἔντιμον εἶδέν μου ὁ ὀφθαλμός 11 βάθη δὲ ποταμῶν ἀνεκάλυψεν ἔδειξεν δὲ ἑαυτοῦ δύναμιν εἰς φῶς 12 ἡ δὲ σοφία πόθεν εὑρέθη ποῖος δὲ τόπος ἐστὶν τῆς ἐπιστήμης 13 οὐκ οἶδεν βροτὸς ὁδὸν αὐτῆς οὐδὲ μὴ εὑρεθῇ ἐν ἀνθρώποις 14 ἄβυσσος εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν ἐμοί καὶ θάλασσα εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν μετ' ἐμοῦ 15 οὐ δώσει συγκλεισμὸν ἀντ' αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ σταθήσεται ἀργύριον ἀντάλλαγμα αὐτῆς 16 καὶ οὐ συμβασταχθήσεται χρυσίῳ Ωφιρ ἐν ὄνυχι τιμίῳ καὶ σαπφείρῳ 17 οὐκ ἰσωθήσεται αὐτῇ χρυσίον καὶ ὕαλος καὶ τὸ ἄλλαγμα αὐτῆς σκεύη χρυσᾶ 18 μετέωρα καὶ γαβις 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 ἐστὶν τῆς συνέσεως 21 λέληθεν 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 ὁδόν αὐτὸς δὲ οἶδεν τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς 24 αὐτὸς γὰρ τὴν ὑπ' οὐρανὸν πᾶσαν ἐφορᾷ εἰδὼς τὰ ἐν τῇ γῇ πάντα ἃ ἐποίησεν 25 ἀνέμων σταθμὸν ὕδατός τε μέτρα 26 ὅτε ἐποίησεν οὕτως ὑετὸν ἠρίθμησεν καὶ ὁδὸν ἐν τινάγματι φωνάς 27 τότε εἶδεν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐξηγήσατο αὐτήν ἑτοιμάσας ἐξιχνίασεν 28 εἶπεν δὲ ἀνθρώπῳ ἰδοὺ ἡ θεοσέβειά ἐστιν σοφία τὸ δὲ ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ κακῶν ἐστιν ἐπιστήμη | 1 Silver has beginnings of its veins, and gold has a place wherein it is melted. 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass. 3 He has set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considers, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death. 4 The flood divides from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man has forgotten, and who cannot be come at. 5 The land, out of which bread grew in its place, has been overturned with fire. 6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold. 7 The bird has not known the path, neither has the eye of the vulture beheld it. 8 The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither has the lioness passed by it. 9 He has stretched forth his hand to the flint, he has overturned mountains from the roots. 10 In the rocks he has cut out rivers, and his eye has seen every precious thing. 11 The depths also of rivers he has searched, and hidden things he has brought forth to light. 12 But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding? 13 Man knows not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights. 14 The depth says: It is not in me: and the sea says: It is not with me. 15 The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it. 16 It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire. 17 Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it. 18 High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places. 19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing. 20 Whence then comes wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? 21 It is hid from the eyes of all living, and the fowls of the air know it not. 22 Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof. 23 God understands the way of it, and he knows the place thereof. 24 For he beholds the ends of the world: and looks on all things that are under heaven. 25 Who made a weight for the winds, and weighed the waters by measure. 26 When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms. 27 Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it. 28 And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding. | 1 Habet argentum venarum suarum principia, et auro locus est in quo conflatur. 2 Ferrum de terra tollitur, et lapis solutus calore in æs vertitur. 3 Tempus posuit tenebris, et universorum finem ipse considerat : lapidem quoque caliginis et umbram mortis. 4 Dividit torrens a populo peregrinante eos quos oblitus est pes egentis hominis, et invios. 5 Terra de qua oriebatur panis, in loco suo igni subversa est. 6 Locus sapphiri lapides ejus, et glebæ illius aurum. 7 Semitam ignoravit avis, nec intuitus est eam oculus vulturis. 8 Non calcaverunt eam filii institorum, nec pertransivit per eam leæna. 9 Ad silicem extendit manum suam : subvertit a radicibus montes. 10 In petris rivos excidit, et omne pretiosum vidit oculus ejus. 11 Profunda quoque fluviorum scrutatus est, et abscondita in lucem produxit. 12 Sapientia vero ubi invenitur? et quis est locus intelligentiæ? 13 Nescit homo pretium ejus, nec invenitur in terra suaviter viventium. 14 Abyssus dicit : Non est in me, et mare loquitur : Non est mecum. 15 Non dabitur aurum obrizum pro ea, nec appendetur argentum in commutatione ejus. 16 Non conferetur tinctis Indiæ coloribus, nec lapidi sardonycho pretiosissimo vel sapphiro. 17 Non adæquabitur ei aurum vel vitrum, nec commutabuntur pro ea vasa auri. 18 Excelsa et eminentia non memorabuntur comparatione ejus : trahitur autem sapientia de occultis. 19 Non adæquabitur ei topazius de Æthiopia, nec tincturæ mundissimæ componetur. 20 Unde ergo sapientia venit? et quis est locus intelligentiæ? 21 Abscondita est ab oculis omnium viventium : volucres quoque cæli latet. 22 Perditio et mors dixerunt : Auribus nostris audivimus famam ejus. 23 Deus intelligit viam ejus, et ipse novit locum illius. 24 Ipse enim fines mundi intuetur, et omnia quæ sub cælo sunt respicit. 25 Qui fecit ventis pondus, et aquas appendit in mensura. 26 Quando ponebat pluviis legem, et viam procellis sonantibus : 27 tunc vidit illam et enarravit, et præparavit, et investigavit. 28 Et dixit homini : Ecce timor Domini, ipsa est sapientia; et recedere a malo, intelligentia. |
