أَيُّوبَ 20
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite and saide,
| «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَوَاجِسِي تُجِيبُنِي، وَلِهَذَا هَيَجَانِي فِيَّ. | ٢ 2 |
Doubtlesse my thoughts cause me to answere, and therefore I make haste.
| تَعْيِيرَ تَوْبِيخِي أَسْمَعُ. وَرُوحٌ مِنْ فَهْمِي يُجِيبُنِي. | ٣ 3 |
I haue heard the correction of my reproch: therefore the spirite of mine vnderstanding causeth me to answere.
| «أَمَا عَلِمْتَ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ وُضِعَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٤ 4 |
Knowest thou not this of olde? and since God placed man vpon the earth,
| أَنَّ هُتَافَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَفَرَحَ ٱلْفَاجِرِ إِلَى لَحْظَةٍ! | ٥ 5 |
That the reioycing of the wicked is short, and that the ioy of hypocrites is but a moment?
| وَلَوْ بَلَغَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ طُولُهُ، وَمَسَّ رَأْسُهُ ٱلسَّحَابَ، | ٦ 6 |
Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,
| كَجُلَّتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَبِيدُ. ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْهُ يَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?
| كَٱلْحُلْمِ يَطِيرُ فَلَا يُوجَدُ، وَيُطْرَدُ كَطَيْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
He shall flee away as a dreame, and they shall not finde him, and shall passe away as a vision of the night,
| عَيْنٌ أَبْصَرَتْهُ لَا تَعُودُ تَرَاهُ، وَمَكَانُهُ لَنْ يَرَاهُ بَعْدُ. | ٩ 9 |
So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more.
| بَنُوهُ يَتَرَضَّوْنَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ، وَيَدَاهُ تَرُدَّانِ ثَرْوَتَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
His children shall flatter the poore, and his hands shall restore his substance.
| عِظَامُهُ مَلآنَةٌ شَبِيبَةً، وَمَعَهُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ تَضْطَجِعُ. | ١١ 11 |
His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shall lie downe with him in the dust.
| إِنْ حَلَا فِي فَمِهِ ٱلشَّرُّ، وَأَخْفَاهُ تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, and he hid it vnder his tongue,
| أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْهُ، بَلْ حَبَسَهُ وَسَطَ حَنَكِهِ، | ١٣ 13 |
And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,
| فَخُبْزُهُ فِي أَمْعَائِهِ يَتَحَوَّلُ، مَرَارَةَ أَصْلَالٍ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Aspes was in the middes of him.
| قَدْ بَلَعَ ثَرْوَةً فَيَتَقَيَّأُهَا. ٱللهُ يَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He hath deuoured substance, and hee shall vomit it: for God shall drawe it out of his bellie.
| سَمَّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ يَرْضَعُ. يَقْتُلُهُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَفْعَى. | ١٦ 16 |
He shall sucke the gall of Aspes, and the vipers tongue shall slay him.
| لَا يَرَى ٱلْجَدَاوِلَ أَنْهَارَ سَوَاقِيَ عَسَلٍ وَلَبَنٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
He shall not see the riuers, nor the floods and streames of honie and butter.
| يَرُدُّ تَعَبَهُ وَلَا يَبْلَعُهُ. كَمَالٍ تَحْتَ رَجْعٍ. وَلَا يَفْرَحُ. | ١٨ 18 |
He shall restore the labour, and shall deuoure no more: euen according to the substance shalbe his exchange, and he shall enioy it no more.
| لِأَنَّهُ رَضَّضَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ، وَتَرَكَهُمْ، وَٱغْتَصَبَ بَيْتًا وَلَمْ يَبْنِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
For he hath vndone many: he hath forsaken the poore, and hath spoyled houses which he builded not.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ فِي بَطْنِهِ قَنَاعَةً، لَا يَنْجُو بِمُشْتَهَاهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bodie, neither shall he reserue of that which he desired.
| لَيْسَتْ مِنْ أَكْلِهِ بَقِيَّةٌ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَدُومُ خَيْرُهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
There shall none of his meate bee left: therefore none shall hope for his goods.
| مَعَ مِلْءِ رَغْدِهِ يَتَضَايَقُ. تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ يَدُ كُلِّ شَقِيٍّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
When he shalbe filled with his abundance, he shalbe in paine, and the hand of all the wicked shall assaile him.
| يَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ، أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُمْطِرُهُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall sende vpon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rayne vpon him, euen vpon his meate.
| يَفِرُّ مِنْ سِلَاحِ حَدِيدٍ. تَخْرِقُهُ قَوْسُ نُحَاسٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He shall flee from the yron weapons, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.
| جَذَبَهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ، وَٱلْبَارِقُ مِنْ مَرَارَتِهِ مَرَقَ. عَلَيْهِ رُعُوبٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
The arrowe is drawen out, and commeth forth of the body, and shineth of his gall, so feare commeth vpon him.
| كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ مُخْتَبَأَةٌ لِذَخَائِرِهِ. تَأْكُلُهُ نَارٌ لَمْ تُنْفَخْ. تَرْعَى ٱلْبَقِيَّةَ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
All darkenes shalbe hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blowen, shall deuoure him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shalbe destroyed.
| ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُعْلِنُ إِثْمَهُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَنْهَضُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The heauen shall declare his wickednes, and the earth shall rise vp against him.
| تَزُولُ غَلَّةُ بَيْتِهِ. تُهْرَاقُ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The increase of his house shall go away: it shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
| هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ أَمْرِهِ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ». | ٢٩ 29 |
This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage that he shall haue of God for his wordes.
