أَيُّوبَ 20
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
| «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَوَاجِسِي تُجِيبُنِي، وَلِهَذَا هَيَجَانِي فِيَّ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.
| تَعْيِيرَ تَوْبِيخِي أَسْمَعُ. وَرُوحٌ مِنْ فَهْمِي يُجِيبُنِي. | ٣ 3 |
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, but out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.
| «أَمَا عَلِمْتَ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ وُضِعَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٤ 4 |
Knowest thou not this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,
| أَنَّ هُتَافَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَفَرَحَ ٱلْفَاجِرِ إِلَى لَحْظَةٍ! | ٥ 5 |
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
| وَلَوْ بَلَغَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ طُولُهُ، وَمَسَّ رَأْسُهُ ٱلسَّحَابَ، | ٦ 6 |
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
| كَجُلَّتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَبِيدُ. ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْهُ يَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung; they that have seen him shall say: 'Where is he?'
| كَٱلْحُلْمِ يَطِيرُ فَلَا يُوجَدُ، وَيُطْرَدُ كَطَيْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
| عَيْنٌ أَبْصَرَتْهُ لَا تَعُودُ تَرَاهُ، وَمَكَانُهُ لَنْ يَرَاهُ بَعْدُ. | ٩ 9 |
The eye which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
| بَنُوهُ يَتَرَضَّوْنَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ، وَيَدَاهُ تَرُدَّانِ ثَرْوَتَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
His children shall appease the poor, and his hands shall restore his wealth.
| عِظَامُهُ مَلآنَةٌ شَبِيبَةً، وَمَعَهُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ تَضْطَجِعُ. | ١١ 11 |
His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
| إِنْ حَلَا فِي فَمِهِ ٱلشَّرُّ، وَأَخْفَاهُ تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
| أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْهُ، بَلْ حَبَسَهُ وَسَطَ حَنَكِهِ، | ١٣ 13 |
Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
| فَخُبْزُهُ فِي أَمْعَائِهِ يَتَحَوَّلُ، مَرَارَةَ أَصْلَالٍ فِي بَطْنِهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
| قَدْ بَلَعَ ثَرْوَةً فَيَتَقَيَّأُهَا. ٱللهُ يَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly.
| سَمَّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ يَرْضَعُ. يَقْتُلُهُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَفْعَى. | ١٦ 16 |
He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.
| لَا يَرَى ٱلْجَدَاوِلَ أَنْهَارَ سَوَاقِيَ عَسَلٍ وَلَبَنٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and curd.
| يَرُدُّ تَعَبَهُ وَلَا يَبْلَعُهُ. كَمَالٍ تَحْتَ رَجْعٍ. وَلَا يَفْرَحُ. | ١٨ 18 |
That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
| لِأَنَّهُ رَضَّضَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ، وَتَرَكَهُمْ، وَٱغْتَصَبَ بَيْتًا وَلَمْ يَبْنِهِ. | ١٩ 19 |
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ فِي بَطْنِهِ قَنَاعَةً، لَا يَنْجُو بِمُشْتَهَاهُ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,
| لَيْسَتْ مِنْ أَكْلِهِ بَقِيَّةٌ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَدُومُ خَيْرُهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
There was nothing left that he devoured not — therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
| مَعَ مِلْءِ رَغْدِهِ يَتَضَايَقُ. تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ يَدُ كُلِّ شَقِيٍّ. | ٢٢ 22 |
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
| يَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ، أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُمْطِرُهُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.
| يَفِرُّ مِنْ سِلَاحِ حَدِيدٍ. تَخْرِقُهُ قَوْسُ نُحَاسٍ. | ٢٤ 24 |
If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.
| جَذَبَهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ، وَٱلْبَارِقُ مِنْ مَرَارَتِهِ مَرَقَ. عَلَيْهِ رُعُوبٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
| كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ مُخْتَبَأَةٌ لِذَخَائِرِهِ. تَأْكُلُهُ نَارٌ لَمْ تُنْفَخْ. تَرْعَى ٱلْبَقِيَّةَ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
All darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown by man shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.
| ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُعْلِنُ إِثْمَهُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَنْهَضُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
| تَزُولُ غَلَّةُ بَيْتِهِ. تُهْرَاقُ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِهِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The increase of his house shall depart, his goods 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 a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
