أَيُّوبَ 2
| وَكَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ بَنُو ٱللهِ لِيَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ لِيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
And it came to pass on a certain day, that the angels of God came to stand before the Lord, and the devil came amongst them to stand before the Lord.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «مِنَ ٱلْجَوَلَانِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنَ ٱلتَّمَشِّي فِيهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And the Lord, said to the devil, Whence come you? Then the devil said before the Lord, I am come from going through the world, and walking about the whole earth.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَلْ جَعَلْتَ قَلْبَكَ عَلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ وَمُسْتَقِيمٌ يَتَّقِي ٱللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ. وَإِلَى ٱلْآنَ هُوَ مُتَمَسِّكٌ بِكَمَالِهِ، وَقَدْ هَيَّجْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ لِأَبْتَلِعَهُ بِلَا سَبَبٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And the Lord said to the devil, Hast you then observed my servant Job, that there is none of [men] upon the earth like him, a harmless, true, blameless, godly man, abstaining from all evil? and he yet cleaves to innocence, whereas you has told [me] to destroy his substance without cause?
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «جِلْدٌ بِجِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَا لِلْإِنْسَانِ يُعْطِيهِ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And the devil answered and said to the Lord, Skin for skin, all that a man has will he give as a ransom for his life.
| وَلَكِنْ ٱبْسِطِ ٱلْآنَ يَدَكَ وَمَسَّ عَظْمَهُ وَلَحْمَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ فِي وَجْهِكَ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْكَ». | ٥ 5 |
Nay, but put forth your hand, and touch his bones and his flesh: verily he will bless you to [your] face.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَا هُوَ فِي يَدِكَ، وَلَكِنِ ٱحْفَظْ نَفْسَهُ». | ٦ 6 |
And the Lord said to the devil, Behold, I deliver him up to you; only save his life.
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَضَرَبَ أَيُّوبَ بِقُرْحٍ رَدِيءٍ مِنْ بَاطِنِ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى هَامَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
So the devil went out from the Lord, and struck Job with sore boils from [his] feet to [his] head.
| فَأَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ شَقَفَةً لِيَحْتَكَّ بِهَا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلرَّمَادِ. | ٨ 8 |
And he took a potsherd to scrape away the discharge, and sat upon a dung-heap outside the city.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ: «أَنْتَ مُتَمَسِّكٌ بَعْدُ بِكَمَالِكَ؟ بَارِكِ ٱللهَ وَمُتْ!». | ٩ 9 |
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «تَتَكَلَّمِينَ كَلَامًا كَإِحْدَى ٱلْجَاهِلَاتِ! أَٱلْخَيْرَ نَقْبَلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلشَّرَّ لَا نَقْبَلُ؟». فِي كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يُخْطِئْ أَيُّوبُ بِشَفَتَيْهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But he looked on her, and said to her, You have spoken like one of the foolish women. If we have received good things of the hand of the Lord, shall we not endure evil things? In all these things that happened to him, Job sinned not at all with his lips before God.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَصْحَابُ أَيُّوبَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ بِكُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَتَى عَلَيْهِ، جَاءُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ: أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَتَوَاعَدُوا أَنْ يَأْتُوا لِيَرْثُوا لَهُ وَيُعَزُّوهُ. | ١١ 11 |
Now his three friends having heard of all the evil that was come upon him, came to him each from his own country: Eliphaz the king of the Thaemans, Baldad sovereign of the Saucheans, Sophar king of he Minaeans: and they came to him with one accord, to comfort and to visit him.
| وَرَفَعُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا، وَمَزَّقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ جُبَّتَهُ، وَذَرَّوْا تُرَابًا فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ١٢ 12 |
And when they saw him from a distance they did not know him; and they cried with a loud voice, and wept, and tore every one his garment, and sprinkled dust upon [their heads],
| وَقَعَدُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَ لَيَالٍ، وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ أَحَدٌ بِكَلِمَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا أَنَّ كَآبَتَهُ كَانَتْ عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا. | ١٣ 13 |
and they sat down beside him seven days and seven nights, and no one of them spoke; for they saw that his affliction was dreadful and very great.
