أَيُّوبَ 17
| «رُوحِي تَلِفَتْ. أَيَّامِي ٱنْطَفَأَتْ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْقُبُورُ لِي. | ١ 1 |
My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
| «لَوْلَا ٱلْمُخَاتِلُونَ عِنْدِي، وَعَيْنِي تَبِيتُ عَلَى مُشَاجَرَاتِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
| كُنْ ضَامِنِي عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ. مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَفِّقُ يَدِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; who else is there that will strike hands with me?
| لِأَنَّكَ مَنَعْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْفِطْنَةِ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَرْفَعُهُمُ. | ٤ 4 |
For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.
| ٱلَّذِي يُسَلِّمُ ٱلْأَصْحَابَ لِلسَّلْبِ، تَتْلَفُ عُيُونُ بَنِيهِ. | ٥ 5 |
He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
| أَوْقَفَنِي مَثَلًا لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَصِرْتُ لِلْبَصْقِ فِي ٱلْوَجْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ، وَأَعْضَائِي كُلُّهَا كَٱلظِّلِّ. | ٧ 7 |
Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.
| يَتَعَجَّبُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَنْتَهِضُ عَلَى ٱلْفَاجِرِ. | ٨ 8 |
Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.
| أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَسْتَمْسِكُ بِطَرِيقِهِ، وَٱلطَّاهِرُ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ يَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً. | ٩ 9 |
Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.
| «وَلَكِنِ ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا، فَلَا أَجِدُ فِيكُمْ حَكِيمًا. | ١٠ 10 |
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.
| أَيَّامِي قَدْ عَبَرَتْ. مَقَاصِدِي، إِرْثُ قَلْبِي، قَدِ ٱنْتَزَعَتْ. | ١١ 11 |
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
| يَجْعَلُونَ ٱللَّيْلَ نَهَارًا، نُورًا قَرِيبًا لِلظُّلْمَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.
| إِذَا رَجَوْتُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ بَيْتًا لِي، وَفِي ٱلظَّلَامِ مَهَّدْتُ فِرَاشِي، (Sheol h7585) | ١٣ 13 |
If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness; (Sheol h7585)
| وَقُلْتُ لِلْقَبْرِ: أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلدُّودِ: أَنْتَ أُمِّي وَأُخْتِي، | ١٤ 14 |
If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';
| فَأَيْنَ إِذًا آمَالِي؟ آمَالِي، مَنْ يُعَايِنُهَا؟ | ١٥ 15 |
Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
