< أَيُّوبَ 10 >
«قَدْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسِي حَيَاتِي. أُسَيِّبُ شَكْوَايَ. أَتَكَلَّمُ فِي مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي | ١ 1 |
“My soul has been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
قَائِلًا لِلهِ: لَا تَسْتَذْنِبْنِي. فَهِّمْنِي لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُنِي! | ٢ 2 |
I say to God, Do not condemn me, Let me know why You strive [with] me.
أَحَسَنٌ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَظْلِمَ، أَنْ تُرْذِلَ عَمَلَ يَدَيْكَ، وَتُشْرِقَ عَلَى مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Is it good for You that You oppress? That You despise the labor of Your hands, And shine on the counsel of the wicked?
أَلَكَ عَيْنَا بَشَرٍ، أَمْ كَنَظَرِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَنْظُرُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Do you have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?
أَأَيَّامُكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَمْ سِنُوكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ٥ 5 |
[Are] Your days as the days of man? Your years as the days of a man?
حَتَّى تَبْحَثَ عَنْ إِثْمِي وَتُفَتِّشَ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٦ 6 |
That You inquire for my iniquity, And seek for my sin?
فِي عِلْمِكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مُذْنِبًا، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
For You know that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Your hand.
«يَدَاكَ كَوَّنَتَانِي وَصَنَعَتَانِي كُلِّي جَمِيعًا، أَفَتَبْتَلِعُنِي؟ | ٨ 8 |
Your hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together all around, And You swallow me up!
اُذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ جَبَلْتَنِي كَٱلطِّينِ، أَفَتُعِيدُنِي إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Please remember That You have made me as clay, And You bring me back to dust.
أَلَمْ تَصُبَّنِي كَٱللَّبَنِ، وَخَثَّرْتَنِي كَٱلْجُبْنِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Do You not pour me out as milk? And curdle me as cheese?
كَسَوْتَنِي جِلْدًا وَلَحْمًا، فَنَسَجْتَنِي بِعِظَامٍ وَعَصَبٍ. | ١١ 11 |
Skin and flesh You put on me, And fence me with bones and sinews.
مَنَحْتَنِي حَيَاةً وَرَحْمَةً، وَحَفِظَتْ عِنَايَتُكَ رُوحِي. | ١٢ 12 |
Life and kindness You have done with me. And Your inspection has preserved my spirit.
لَكِنَّكَ كَتَمْتَ هَذِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ. عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ هَذَا عِنْدَكَ: | ١٣ 13 |
And these You have laid up in Your heart, I have known that this [is] with You.
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتُ تُلَاحِظُنِي وَلَا تُبْرِئُنِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ١٤ 14 |
If I sinned, then You have observed me, And do not acquit me from my iniquity,
إِنْ أَذْنَبْتُ فَوَيْلٌ لِي، وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي. إِنِّي شَبْعَانُ هَوَانًا وَنَاظِرٌ مَذَلَّتِي. | ١٥ 15 |
If I have done wickedly—woe to me, And righteously—I do not lift up my head, Full of shame—then see my affliction,
وَإِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ تَصْطَادُنِي كَأَسَدٍ، ثُمَّ تَعُودُ وَتَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
And it rises—as a lion You hunt me. And You turn back—You show Yourself wonderful in me.
تُجَدِّدُ شُهُودَكَ تُجَاهِي، وَتَزِيدُ غَضَبَكَ عَلَيَّ. نُوبٌ وَجَيْشٌ ضِدِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
You renew Your witnesses against me, and multiply Your anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me.
«فَلِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ؟ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ٱلرُّوحَ وَلَمْ تَرَنِي عَيْنٌ! | ١٨ 18 |
And why from the womb Have You brought me forth? I expire, and the eye does not see me.
فَكُنْتُ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ، فَأُقَادَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ. | ١٩ 19 |
I am as [if] I had not been, I am brought from the belly to the grave,
أَلَيْسَتْ أَيَّامِي قَلِيلَةً؟ ٱتْرُكْ! كُفَّ عَنِّي فَأَتَبَلَّجَ قَلِيلًا، | ٢٠ 20 |
Are my days not few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little,
قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَلَا أَعُودَ. إِلَى أَرْضِ ظُلْمَةٍ وَظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ، | ٢١ 21 |
Before I go, and do not return, To a land of darkness and death-shade,
أَرْضِ ظَلَامٍ مِثْلِ دُجَى ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَبِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، وَإِشْرَاقُهَا كَٱلدُّجَى». | ٢٢ 22 |
A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade—and no order, And the shining [is] as thick darkness.”
