أَيُّوبَ 13
| «هَذَا كُلُّهُ رَأَتْهُ عَيْنِي. سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنِي وَفَطِنَتْ بِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Lo! all this mine eye hath seen; Mine ear hath heard and understood it.
| مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ عَرَفْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا. لَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
What ye know, I know also; I am not inferior to you.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْقَدِيرَ، وَأَنْ أُحَاكَمَ إِلَى ٱللهِ. | ٣ 3 |
But O that I might speak with the Almighty! O that I might reason with God!
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُلَفِّقُو كَذِبٍ. أَطِبَّاءُ بَطَّالُونَ كُلُّكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
For ye are forgers of lies; Physicians of no value, all of you!
| لَيْتَكُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ صَمْتًا. يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ حِكْمَةً. | ٥ 5 |
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! This, truly, would be wisdom in you.
| اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ حُجَّتِي، وَٱصْغُوا إِلَى دَعَاوِي شَفَتَيَّ. | ٦ 6 |
Hear, I pray you, my arguments; Attend to the pleadings of my lips!
| أَتَقُولُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا، وَتَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِغِشٍّ لِأَجْلِهِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Will ye speak falsehood for God? Will ye utter deceit for him?
| أَتُحَابُونَ وَجْهَهُ، أَمْ عَنِ ٱللهِ تُخَاصِمُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Will ye be partial to his person? Will ye contend earnestly for God?
| أَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ يَفْحَصَكُمْ، أَمْ تُخَاتِلُونَهُ كَمَا يُخَاتَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Will it be well for you, if he search you thoroughly? Can ye deceive him, as one may deceive a man?
| تَوْبِيخًا يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ خِفْيَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
Surely he will rebuke you, If ye secretly have respect to persons.
| فَهَلَّا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلَالُهُ، وَيَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Doth not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you?
| خُطَبُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Your maxims are words of dust; Your fortresses are fortresses of clay.
| «اُسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ أَنَا، وَلْيُصِبْنِي مَهْمَا أَصَابَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Hold your peace, and let me speak: And then come upon me what will!
| لِمَاذَا آخُذُ لَحْمِي بِأَسْنَانِي، وَأَضَعُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?
| هُوَذَا يَقْتُلُنِي. لَا أَنْتَظِرُ شَيْئًا. فَقَطْ أُزَكِّي طَرِيقِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Lo! he slayeth me, and I have no hope! Yet will I justify my ways before him.
| فَهَذَا يَعُودُ إِلَى خَلَاصِي، أَنَّ ٱلْفَاجِرَ لَا يَأْتِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
This also shall be my deliverance; For no unrighteous man will come before him.
| سَمْعًا ٱسْمَعُوا أَقْوَالِي وَتَصْرِيحِي بِمَسَامِعِكُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Hear attentively my words, And give ear to my declaration!
| هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ ٱلدَّعْوَى. أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَتَبَرَّرُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Behold, I have now set in order my cause; I know that I am innocent.
| مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاصِمُنِي حَتَّى أَصْمُتَ ٱلْآنَ وَأُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Who is he that can contend with me? For then would I hold my peace, and die!
| إِنَّمَا أَمْرَيْنِ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي، فَحِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Only do not unto me two things, Then will I not hide myself from thy presence;
| أَبْعِدْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي، وَلَا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُرْعِبُنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Let not thy hand be heavy upon me, And let not thy terrors make me afraid:
| ثُمَّ ٱدْعُ فَأَنَا أُجِيبُ، أَوْ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَتُجَاوِبُنِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then call upon me, and I will answer; Or I will speak, and answer thou me.
| كَمْ لِي مِنَ ٱلْآثَامِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا؟ أَعْلِمْنِي ذَنْبِي وَخَطِيَّتِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my faults and transgressions.
| لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ، وَتَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَكَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, And account me as thine enemy?
| أَتُرْعِبُ وَرَقَةً مُنْدَفَعَةً، وَتُطَارِدُ قَشًّا يَابِسًا؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Wilt thou put in fear the driven leaf? Wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
| لِأَنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيَّ أُمُورًا مُرَّةً، وَوَرَّثْتَنِي آثَامَ صِبَايَ، | ٢٦ 26 |
For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me inherit the sins of my youth.
| فَجَعَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَلَاحَظْتَ جَمِيعَ مَسَالِكِي، وَعَلَى أُصُولِ رِجْلَيَّ نَبَشْتَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Yea, thou puttest my feet in the stocks, And waterest all my paths; Thou hemmest in the soles of my feet.
| وَأَنَا كَمُتَسَوِّسٍ يَبْلَى، كَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ ٱلْعُثُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And I, like an abandoned thing, shall waste away; Like a garment which is moth-eaten.
