< أَيُّوبَ 13 >
«هَذَا كُلُّهُ رَأَتْهُ عَيْنِي. سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنِي وَفَطِنَتْ بِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Behold, my eye has seen all these things, and my ear has heard, and I have understood each one.
مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ عَرَفْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا. لَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
In conformity with your knowledge, I also know. I am not inferior to you.
وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْقَدِيرَ، وَأَنْ أُحَاكَمَ إِلَى ٱللهِ. | ٣ 3 |
Yet I speak this way to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God,
أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُلَفِّقُو كَذِبٍ. أَطِبَّاءُ بَطَّالُونَ كُلُّكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
having first shown that you fabricate lies and cultivate perverse teachings.
لَيْتَكُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ صَمْتًا. يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ حِكْمَةً. | ٥ 5 |
And I wish that you would remain silent, so that you would be counted among the wise.
اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ حُجَّتِي، وَٱصْغُوا إِلَى دَعَاوِي شَفَتَيَّ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore, listen to my correction, and pay attention to the judgment of my lips.
أَتَقُولُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا، وَتَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِغِشٍّ لِأَجْلِهِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Does God require your lie, so that you would speak deceitfully for him?
أَتُحَابُونَ وَجْهَهُ، أَمْ عَنِ ٱللهِ تُخَاصِمُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Have you taken his place, and do you struggle to give judgment in favor of God?
أَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ يَفْحَصَكُمْ، أَمْ تُخَاتِلُونَهُ كَمَا يُخَاتَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Or, will it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? Or, will he be deceived, like a man, by your deceitfulness?
تَوْبِيخًا يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ خِفْيَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
He will accuse you because in secret you have preempted his presence.
فَهَلَّا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلَالُهُ، وَيَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
As soon as he moves himself, he will disturb you, and his dread will fall over you.
خُطَبُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Your remembrance will be compared to ashes, and your necks will be reduced to clay.
«اُسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ أَنَا، وَلْيُصِبْنِي مَهْمَا أَصَابَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Be silent for a little while, so that I may speak whatever my mind suggests to me.
لِمَاذَا آخُذُ لَحْمِي بِأَسْنَانِي، وَأَضَعُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Why do I wound my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?
هُوَذَا يَقْتُلُنِي. لَا أَنْتَظِرُ شَيْئًا. فَقَطْ أُزَكِّي طَرِيقِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And now, if he would kill me, I will hope in him; in this, truly, I will correct my ways in his sight.
فَهَذَا يَعُودُ إِلَى خَلَاصِي، أَنَّ ٱلْفَاجِرَ لَا يَأْتِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
And he will be my savior, for no hypocrite at all will approach in his sight.
سَمْعًا ٱسْمَعُوا أَقْوَالِي وَتَصْرِيحِي بِمَسَامِعِكُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Listen to my words, and perceive an enigma with your ears.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ ٱلدَّعْوَى. أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَتَبَرَّرُ. | ١٨ 18 |
If I will be judged, I know that I will be found to be just.
مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاصِمُنِي حَتَّى أَصْمُتَ ٱلْآنَ وَأُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Who is it that will go to judgment with me? Let him approach. Why should I be consumed in silence?
إِنَّمَا أَمْرَيْنِ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي، فَحِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Do not do such things to me twice, and then I will not hide from your face.
أَبْعِدْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي، وَلَا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُرْعِبُنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Take your hand far away from me, and do not let your dread terrify me.
ثُمَّ ٱدْعُ فَأَنَا أُجِيبُ، أَوْ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَتُجَاوِبُنِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Call me, and I will answer you, or else I will speak, and you can answer me.
كَمْ لِي مِنَ ٱلْآثَامِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا؟ أَعْلِمْنِي ذَنْبِي وَخَطِيَّتِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
How many iniquities and sins do I have? Reveal my crimes and offenses to me.
لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ، وَتَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَكَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Why do you conceal your face and consider me to be your enemy?
أَتُرْعِبُ وَرَقَةً مُنْدَفَعَةً، وَتُطَارِدُ قَشًّا يَابِسًا؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Against a leaf, which is carried away by the wind, you reveal your power, and you pursue dry straw.
لِأَنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيَّ أُمُورًا مُرَّةً، وَوَرَّثْتَنِي آثَامَ صِبَايَ، | ٢٦ 26 |
For you write bitter things against me, and you want to consume me for the sins of my youth.
فَجَعَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَلَاحَظْتَ جَمِيعَ مَسَالِكِي، وَعَلَى أُصُولِ رِجْلَيَّ نَبَشْتَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
You have put my feet on a tether, and you have observed all my paths, and you have considered the steps of my feet.
وَأَنَا كَمُتَسَوِّسٍ يَبْلَى، كَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ ٱلْعُثُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
I will be left to decay like something rotten and like a garment that is being eaten by moths.
