أَيُّوبَ 13
| «هَذَا كُلُّهُ رَأَتْهُ عَيْنِي. سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنِي وَفَطِنَتْ بِهِ. | ١ 1 |
Lo, my eye hath seen all [this], my ear hath heard and understood it.
| مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ عَرَفْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا. لَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior to you.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْقَدِيرَ، وَأَنْ أُحَاكَمَ إِلَى ٱللهِ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُلَفِّقُو كَذِبٍ. أَطِبَّاءُ بَطَّالُونَ كُلُّكُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value.
| لَيْتَكُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ صَمْتًا. يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ حِكْمَةً. | ٥ 5 |
O that ye would altogether hold your peace and it would be your wisdom.
| اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ حُجَّتِي، وَٱصْغُوا إِلَى دَعَاوِي شَفَتَيَّ. | ٦ 6 |
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
| أَتَقُولُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا، وَتَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِغِشٍّ لِأَجْلِهِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
| أَتُحَابُونَ وَجْهَهُ، أَمْ عَنِ ٱللهِ تُخَاصِمُونَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
| أَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ يَفْحَصَكُمْ، أَمْ تُخَاتِلُونَهُ كَمَا يُخَاتَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him?
| تَوْبِيخًا يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ خِفْيَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
| فَهَلَّا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلَالُهُ، وَيَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Shall not his excellence make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
| خُطَبُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Your remembrances [are] like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
| «اُسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ أَنَا، وَلْيُصِبْنِي مَهْمَا أَصَابَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on 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 |
Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
| فَهَذَا يَعُودُ إِلَى خَلَاصِي، أَنَّ ٱلْفَاجِرَ لَا يَأْتِي قُدَّامَهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
He also [shall be] my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
| سَمْعًا ٱسْمَعُوا أَقْوَالِي وَتَصْرِيحِي بِمَسَامِعِكُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
| هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ ٱلدَّعْوَى. أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَتَبَرَّرُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified.
| مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاصِمُنِي حَتَّى أَصْمُتَ ٱلْآنَ وَأُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall expire.
| إِنَّمَا أَمْرَيْنِ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي، فَحِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Only do not two [things] to me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
| أَبْعِدْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي، وَلَا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُرْعِبُنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
| ثُمَّ ٱدْعُ فَأَنَا أُجِيبُ، أَوْ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَتُجَاوِبُنِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me 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 transgression and my sin.
| لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ، وَتَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَكَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy?
| أَتُرْعِبُ وَرَقَةً مُنْدَفَعَةً، وَتُطَارِدُ قَشًّا يَابِسًا؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and 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 to possess the iniquities of my youth.
| فَجَعَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَلَاحَظْتَ جَمِيعَ مَسَالِكِي، وَعَلَى أُصُولِ رِجْلَيَّ نَبَشْتَ. | ٢٧ 27 |
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly to all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
| وَأَنَا كَمُتَسَوِّسٍ يَبْلَى، كَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ ٱلْعُثُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
