أَيُّوبَ 12
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Job answered and said,
| «صَحِيحٌ إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ وَمَعَكُمْ تَمُوتُ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ! | ٢ 2 |
No doubt but 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 |
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
| رَجُلًا سُخْرَةً لِصَاحِبِهِ صِرْتُ. دَعَا ٱللهَ فَٱسْتَجَابَهُ. سُخْرَةٌ هُوَ ٱلصِّدِّيقُ ٱلْكَامِلُ. | ٤ 4 |
I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, [a man] that called upon God, and he answered him: the just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
| لِلْمُبْتَلِي هَوَانٌ فِي أَفْكَارِ ٱلْمُطْمَئِنِّ، مُهَيَّأٌ لِمَنْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
| خِيَامُ ٱلْمُخَرِّبِينَ مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ، وَٱلَّذِينَ يُغِيظُونَ ٱللهَ مُطْمَئِنُّونَ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِإِلَهِهِمْ فِي يَدِهِمْ! | ٦ 6 |
The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly].
| «فَٱسْأَلِ ٱلْبَهَائِمَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ، وَطُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فَتُخْبِرَكَ. | ٧ 7 |
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, 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 LORD 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 breath of all mankind.
| أَفَلَيْسَتِ ٱلْأُذُنُ تَمْتَحِنُ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ، كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْحَنَكَ يَسْتَطْعِمُ طَعَامَهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Doth not the ear try words, even as the palate tasteth its meat?
| عِنْدَ ٱلشَّيْبِ حِكْمَةٌ، وَطُولُ ٱلْأَيَّامِ فَهْمٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
With aged men 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 cannot be built again; he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
| يَمْنَعُ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فَتَيْبَسُ. يُطْلِقُهَا فَتَقْلِبُ ٱلْأَرْضَ. | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
| عِنْدَهُ ٱلْعِزُّ وَٱلْفَهْمُ. لَهُ ٱلْمُضِلُّ وَٱلْمُضَلُّ. | ١٦ 16 |
With him is strength and effectual working; 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 looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle.
| 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 removeth the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the elders.
| يُلْقِي هَوَانًا عَلَى ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ، وَيُرْخِي مِنْطَقَةَ ٱلْأَشِدَّاءِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong.
| يَكْشِفُ ٱلْعَمَائِقَ مِنَ ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَيُخْرِجُ ظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
| يُكَثِّرُ ٱلْأُمَمَ ثُمَّ يُبِيدُهَا. يُوَسِّعُ لِلْأُمَمِ ثُمَّ يُجْلِيهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth the nations abroad, and bringeth them in.
| يَنْزِعُ عُقُولَ رُؤَسَاءِ شَعْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلَا طَرِيقٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
| 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 drunken man.
