أَيُّوبَ 10
| «قَدْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسِي حَيَاتِي. أُسَيِّبُ شَكْوَايَ. أَتَكَلَّمُ فِي مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي | ١ 1 |
I am weary of my life; I will let loose within me my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
| قَائِلًا لِلهِ: لَا تَسْتَذْنِبْنِي. فَهِّمْنِي لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُنِي! | ٢ 2 |
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me! Show me wherefore thou contendest with me!
| أَحَسَنٌ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَظْلِمَ، أَنْ تُرْذِلَ عَمَلَ يَدَيْكَ، وَتُشْرِقَ عَلَى مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Is it a pleasure to thee to oppress, And to despise the work of thy hands, And to shine upon the plans of the wicked?
| أَلَكَ عَيْنَا بَشَرٍ، أَمْ كَنَظَرِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَنْظُرُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh, Or seest thou as man seeth?
| أَأَيَّامُكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَمْ سِنُوكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ٥ 5 |
Are thy days as the days of a man, Are thy years as the days of a mortal,
| حَتَّى تَبْحَثَ عَنْ إِثْمِي وَتُفَتِّشَ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٦ 6 |
That thou seekest after my iniquity, And searchest after my sin,
| فِي عِلْمِكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مُذْنِبًا، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Though thou knowest that I am not guilty, And that none can deliver from thy hand?
| «يَدَاكَ كَوَّنَتَانِي وَصَنَعَتَانِي كُلِّي جَمِيعًا، أَفَتَبْتَلِعُنِي؟ | ٨ 8 |
Have thy hands completely fashioned and made me In every part, that thou mightst destroy me?
| اُذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ جَبَلْتَنِي كَٱلطِّينِ، أَفَتُعِيدُنِي إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
O remember that thou hast moulded me as clay! And wilt thou bring me again to dust?
| أَلَمْ تَصُبَّنِي كَٱللَّبَنِ، وَخَثَّرْتَنِي كَٱلْجُبْنِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Thou didst pour me out as milk, And curdle me as cheese;
| كَسَوْتَنِي جِلْدًا وَلَحْمًا، فَنَسَجْتَنِي بِعِظَامٍ وَعَصَبٍ. | ١١ 11 |
With skin and flesh didst thou clothe me, And strengthen me with bones and sinews;
| مَنَحْتَنِي حَيَاةً وَرَحْمَةً، وَحَفِظَتْ عِنَايَتُكَ رُوحِي. | ١٢ 12 |
Thou didst grant me life and favor, And thy protection preserved my breath:
| لَكِنَّكَ كَتَمْتَ هَذِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ. عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ هَذَا عِنْدَكَ: | ١٣ 13 |
Yet these things thou didst lay up in thy heart! I know that this was in thy mind.
| إِنْ أَخْطَأْتُ تُلَاحِظُنِي وَلَا تُبْرِئُنِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ١٤ 14 |
If I sin, then thou markest me, And wilt not acquit me of mine iniquity.
| إِنْ أَذْنَبْتُ فَوَيْلٌ لِي، وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي. إِنِّي شَبْعَانُ هَوَانًا وَنَاظِرٌ مَذَلَّتِي. | ١٥ 15 |
If I am wicked, —then woe unto me! Yet if righteous, I dare not lift up my head; I am full of confusion, beholding my affliction.
| وَإِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ تَصْطَادُنِي كَأَسَدٍ، ثُمَّ تَعُودُ وَتَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
If I lift it up, like a lion thou huntest me, And again showest thyself terrible unto me.
| تُجَدِّدُ شُهُودَكَ تُجَاهِي، وَتَزِيدُ غَضَبَكَ عَلَيَّ. نُوبٌ وَجَيْشٌ ضِدِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine anger toward me; New hosts continually rise up against me.
| «فَلِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ؟ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ٱلرُّوحَ وَلَمْ تَرَنِي عَيْنٌ! | ١٨ 18 |
Why then didst thou bring me forth from the womb? I should have perished, and no eye had seen me;
| فَكُنْتُ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ، فَأُقَادَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ. | ١٩ 19 |
I should be as though I had not been; I should have been borne from the womb to the grave.
| أَلَيْسَتْ أَيَّامِي قَلِيلَةً؟ ٱتْرُكْ! كُفَّ عَنِّي فَأَتَبَلَّجَ قَلِيلًا، | ٢٠ 20 |
Are not my days few? O spare then, And let me alone, that I may be at ease a little while,
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَلَا أَعُودَ. إِلَى أَرْضِ ظُلْمَةٍ وَظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ، | ٢١ 21 |
Before I go— whence I shall not return—To the land of darkness and death-shade,
| أَرْضِ ظَلَامٍ مِثْلِ دُجَى ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَبِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، وَإِشْرَاقُهَا كَٱلدُّجَى». | ٢٢ 22 |
The land of darkness like the blackness of death-shade, Where is no order, and where the light is as darkness.
