أَيُّوبَ 12
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
And Job answered and said,
| «صَحِيحٌ إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ وَمَعَكُمْ تَمُوتُ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ! | ٢ 2 |
Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!
| غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لِي فَهْمٌ مِثْلَكُمْ. لَسْتُ أَنَا دُونَكُمْ. وَمَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?
| رَجُلًا سُخْرَةً لِصَاحِبِهِ صِرْتُ. دَعَا ٱللهَ فَٱسْتَجَابَهُ. سُخْرَةٌ هُوَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ ٱلْكَامِلُ. | ٤ 4 |
I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright [man].
| لِلْمُبْتَلِي هَوَانٌ فِي أَفْكَارِ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّ، مُهَيَّأٌ لِمَنْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
| خِيَامُ ٱلْمُخَرِّبِينَ مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يُغِيظُونَ ٱللهَ مُطْمَئِنُّونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِإِلَهِهِمْ فِي يَدِهِمْ! | ٦ 6 |
The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth.
| «فَٱسْأَلِ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ، وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَتُخْبِرَكَ. | ٧ 7 |
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;
| أَوْ كَلِّمِ ٱلْأَرْضَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ، وَيُحَدِّثَكَ سَمَكُ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٨ 8 |
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
| مَنْ لَا يَعْلَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَنَّ يَدَ ٱلرَّبِّ صَنَعَتْ هَذَا؟ | ٩ 9 |
Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?
| ٱلَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَفَسُ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَرُوحُ كُلِّ ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ١٠ 10 |
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
| أَفَلَيْسَتِ ٱلْأُذُنُ تَمْتَحِنُ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ، كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْحَنَكَ يَسْتَطْعِمُ طَعَامَهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food?
| عِنْدَ ٱلشَّيْبِ حِكْمَةٌ، وَطُولُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَهْمٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.
| «عِنْدَهُ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ وَٱلْقُدْرَةُ. لَهُ ٱلْمَشُورَةُ وَٱلْفِطْنَةُ. | ١٣ 13 |
With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding.
| هُوَذَا يَهْدِمُ فَلَا يُبْنَى. يُغْلِقُ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ فَلَا يُفْتَحُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Behold, he breaketh down, and it is not built again; he shutteth up a man, and there is no opening.
| يَمْنَعُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فَتَيْبَسُ. يُطْلِقُهَا فَتَقْلِبُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; and he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
| عِنْدَهُ ٱلْعِزُّ وَٱلْفَهْمُ. لَهُ ٱلْمُضِلُّ وَٱلْمُضَلُّ. | ١٦ 16 |
With him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his.
| يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْمُشِيرِينَ أَسْرَى، وَيُحَمِّقُ ٱلْقُضَاةَ. | ١٧ 17 |
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools;
| يَحُلُّ مَنَاطِقَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، وَيَشُدُّ أَحْقَاءَهُمْ بِوِثَاقٍ. | ١٨ 18 |
He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;
| يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَسْرَى، وَيَقْلِبُ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءَ. | ١٩ 19 |
He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty;
| يَقْطَعُ كَلَامَ ٱلْأُمَنَاءِ، وَيَنْزِعُ ذَوْقَ ٱلشُّيُوخِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
He depriveth of speech the trusty, and taketh away the judgment of the elders;
| يُلْقِي هَوَانًا عَلَى ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ، وَيُرْخِي مِنْطَقَةَ ٱلْأَشِدَّاءِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and slackeneth the girdle of the mighty;
| يَكْشِفُ ٱلْعَمَائِقَ مِنَ ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَيُخْرِجُ ظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out into light the shadow of death;
| يُكَثِّرُ ٱلْأُمَمَ ثُمَّ يُبِيدُهَا. يُوَسِّعُ لِلْأُمَمِ ثُمَّ يُجْلِيهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; he spreadeth out the nations, and bringeth them in;
| يَنْزِعُ عُقُولَ رُؤَسَاءِ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He taketh away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste.
| يَتَلَمَّسُونَ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ وَلَيْسَ نُورٌ، وَيُرَنِّحُهُمْ مِثْلَ ٱلسَّكْرَانِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunkard.
