أَيُّوبَ 18
| فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
| «إِلَى مَتَى تَضَعُونَ أَشْرَاكًا لِلْكَلَامِ؟ تَعَقَّلُوا وَبَعْدُ نَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢ 2 |
How long will ye lay snares for words? consider, and afterwards we will speak.
| لِمَاذَا حُسِبْنَا كَٱلْبَهِيمَةِ، وَتَنَجَّسْنَا فِي عُيُونِكُمْ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] are become unclean in your sight?
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ نَفْسَهُ فِي غَيْظِهِ، هَلْ لِأَجْلِكَ تُخْلَى ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَوْ يُزَحْزَحُ ٱلصَّخْرُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
| «نَعَمْ! نُورُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ، وَلَا يُضِيءُ لَهِيبُ نَارِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
| ٱلنُّورُ يُظْلِمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَسِرَاجُهُ فَوْقَهُ يَنْطَفِئُ. | ٦ 6 |
The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be put out.
| تَقْصُرُ خَطَوَاتُ قُوَّتِهِ، وَتَصْرَعُهُ مَشُورَتُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
| لِأَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ تَدْفَعَانِهِ فِي ٱلْمِصْلَاةِ فَيَمْشِي إِلَى شَبَكَةٍ. | ٨ 8 |
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
| يُمْسِكُ ٱلْفَخُّ بِعَقِبِهِ، وَتَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّرَكُ. | ٩ 9 |
A gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] a snare shall lay hold on him.
| مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ حِبَالَتُهُ، وَمِصْيَدَتُهُ فِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ. | ١٠ 10 |
A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
| تُرْهِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَتَذْعَرُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
| تَكُونُ قُوَّتُهُ جَائِعَةً وَٱلْبَوَارُ مُهَيَّأٌ بِجَانِبِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
His strength shall be hunger-bitten and calamity shall be ready for his halting.
| يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَ جَسَدِهِ. يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَهُ بِكْرُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٣ 13 |
It shall devour the members of his body, [yea], the firstborn of death shall devour his members.
| يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ خَيْمَتِهِ، عَنِ ٱعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْأَهْوَالِ. | ١٤ 14 |
He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
| يَسْكُنُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ. يُذَرُّ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ كِبْرِيتٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
| مِنْ تَحْتُ تَيْبَسُ أُصُولُهُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقُ يُقْطَعُ فَرْعُهُ. | ١٦ 16 |
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
| ذِكْرُهُ يَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا ٱسْمَ لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّ. | ١٧ 17 |
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
| يُدْفَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ يُطْرَدُ. | ١٨ 18 |
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
| لَا نَسْلَ وَلَا عَقِبَ لَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، وَلَا شَارِدَ فِي مَحَالِّهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
He shall have neither son nor son’s son among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
| يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرُونَ، وَيَقْشَعِرُّ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
They that come after shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
| إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَهَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ». | ٢١ 21 |
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
