أَيُّوبَ 19
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Job answered and said,
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِٱلْكَلَامِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
How long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with words?
| هَذِهِ عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ أَخْزَيْتُمُونِي. لَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَحْكِرُونِي. | ٣ 3 |
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
| وَهَبْنِي ضَلَلْتُ حَقًّا. عَلَيَّ تَسْتَقِرُّ ضَلَالَتِي! | ٤ 4 |
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ، فَثَبِّتُوا عَلَيَّ عَارِي. | ٥ 5 |
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
| فَٱعْلَمُوا إِذًا أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ عَوَّجَنِي، وَلَفَّ عَلَيَّ أُحْبُولَتَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Know now that God hath subverted me [in my cause], and hath compassed me with his net.
| هَا إِنِّي أَصْرُخُ ظُلْمًا فَلَا أُسْتَجَابُ. أَدْعُو وَلَيْسَ حُكْمٌ. | ٧ 7 |
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no judgment.
| قَدْ حَوَّطَ طَرِيقِي فَلَا أَعْبُرُ، وَعَلَى سُبُلِي جَعَلَ ظَلَامًا. | ٨ 8 |
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.
| أَزَالَ عَنِّي كَرَامَتِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجَ رَأْسِي. | ٩ 9 |
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ فَذَهَبْتُ، وَقَلَعَ مِثْلَ شَجَرَةٍ رَجَائِي، | ١٠ 10 |
He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he plucked up like a tree.
| وَأَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ، وَحَسِبَنِي كَأَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his adversaries.
| مَعًا جَاءَتْ غُزَاتُهُ، وَأَعَدُّوا عَلَيَّ طَرِيقَهُمْ، وَحَلُّوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ 12 |
His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.
| قَدْ أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، وَمَعَارِفِي زَاغُوا عَنِّي. | ١٣ 13 |
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.
| أَقَارِبِي قَدْ خَذَلُونِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفُونِي نَسُونِي. | ١٤ 14 |
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
| نُزَلَاءُ بَيْتِي وَإِمَائِي يَحْسِبُونَنِي أَجْنَبِيًّا. صِرْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ غَرِيبًا. | ١٥ 15 |
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
| عَبْدِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ. بِفَمِي تَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, [though] I entreat him with my mouth.
| نَكْهَتِي مَكْرُوهَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱمْرَأَتِي، وَخَمَمْتُ عِنْدَ أَبْنَاءِ أَحْشَائِي. | ١٧ 17 |
My breath is strange to my wife, and my supplication to the children of my [mother’s] womb.
| اَلْأَوْلَادُ أَيْضًا قَدْ رَذَلُونِي. إِذَا قُمْتُ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ. | ١٨ 18 |
Even young children despise me; if I arise, they speak against me.
| كَرِهَنِي كُلُّ رِجَالِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ ٱنْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ 19 |
All my inward friends abhor me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
| عَظْمِي قَدْ لَصِقَ بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
| تَرَاءَفُوا، تَرَاءَفُوا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيَّ يَا أَصْحَابِي، لِأَنَّ يَدَ ٱللهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْنِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا ٱللهُ، وَلَا تَشْبَعُونَ مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
| «لَيْتَ كَلِمَاتِي ٱلْآنَ تُكْتَبُ. يَا لَيْتَهَا رُسِمَتْ فِي سِفْرٍ، | ٢٣ 23 |
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!
| وَنُقِرَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ وَلِيِّي حَيٌّ، وَٱلْآخِرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَقُومُ، | ٢٥ 25 |
But I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand up at the last upon the earth:
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يُفْنَى جِلْدِي هَذَا، وَبِدُونِ جَسَدِي أَرَى ٱللهَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
And after my skin hath been thus destroyed, yet from my flesh shall I see God:
| ٱلَّذِي أَرَاهُ أَنَا لِنَفْسِي، وَعَيْنَايَ تَنْظُرَانِ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. إِلَى ذَلِكَ تَتُوقُ كُلْيَتَايَ فِي جَوْفِي. | ٢٧ 27 |
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. My reins are consumed within me.
| فَإِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا نُطَارِدُهُ؟ وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْأَصْلِيُّ يُوجَدُ عِنْدِي. | ٢٨ 28 |
If ye say, How we will persecute him! seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;
| خَافُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَيْظَ مِنْ آثَامِ ٱلسَّيْفِ. لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلْقَضَاءُ». | ٢٩ 29 |
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
