أَيُّوبَ 21
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Job answered and said,
| «اِسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي سَمْعًا، وَلْيَكُنْ هَذَا تَعْزِيَتَكُمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.
| اِحْتَمِلُونِي وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَبَعْدَ كَلَامِي ٱسْتَهْزِئُوا. | ٣ 3 |
Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَلْ شَكْوَايَ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ، فَلِمَاذَا لَا تَضِيقُ رُوحِي؟ | ٤ 4 |
As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
| تَفَرَّسُوا فِيَّ وَتَعَجَّبُوا وَضَعُوا ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى ٱلْفَمِ. | ٥ 5 |
Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth.
| «عِنْدَمَا أَتَذَكَّرُ أَرْتَاعُ، وَأَخَذَتْ بَشَرِي رِعْدَةٌ. | ٦ 6 |
Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.
| لِمَاذَا تَحْيَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ وَيَشِيخُونَ، نَعَمْ وَيَتَجَبَّرُونَ قُوَّةً؟ | ٧ 7 |
Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
| نَسْلُهُمْ قَائِمٌ أَمَامَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ. | ٨ 8 |
Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.
| بُيُوتُهُمْ آمِنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَصَا ٱللهِ. | ٩ 9 |
Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.
| ثَوْرُهُمْ يُلْقِحُ وَلَا يُخْطِئُ. بَقَرَتُهُمْ تُنْتِجُ وَلَا تُسْقِطُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
| يُسْرِحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلْغَنَمِ رُضَّعَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالُهُمْ تَرْقُصُ. | ١١ 11 |
They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.
| يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلدُّفَّ وَٱلْعُودَ، وَيُطْرِبُونَ بِصَوْتِ ٱلْمِزْمَارِ. | ١٢ 12 |
They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.
| يَقْضُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ. فِي لَحْظَةٍ يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585) | ١٣ 13 |
They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
| فَيَقُولُونَ لِلهِ: ٱبْعُدْ عَنَّا، وَبِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِكَ لَا نُسَرُّ. | ١٤ 14 |
And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
| مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْقَدِيرُ حَتَّى نَعْبُدَهُ؟ وَمَاذَا نَنْتَفِعُ إِنِ ٱلْتَمَسْنَاهُ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
| «هُوَذَا لَيْسَ فِي يَدِهِمْ خَيْرُهُمْ. لِتَبْعُدْ عَنِّي مَشُورَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
| كَمْ يَنْطَفِئُ سِرَاجُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَيَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ بَوَارُهُمْ؟ أَوْ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمْ أَوْجَاعًا فِي غَضَبِهِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? That [God] distributeth sorrows in his anger?
| أَوْ يَكُونُونَ كَٱلتِّبْنِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ، وَكَالْعُصَافَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَسْرِقُهَا ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?
| ٱللهُ يَخْزِنُ إِثْمَهُ لِبَنِيهِ. لِيُجَازِهِ نَفْسَهُ فَيَعْلَمَ. | ١٩ 19 |
[Ye say], God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:
| لِتَنْظُرْ عَيْنَاهُ هَلَاكَهُ، وَمِنْ حُمَةِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ يَشْرَبْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
| فَمَا هِيَ مَسَرَّتُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ بَعْدَهُ، وَقَدْ تَعَيَّنَ عَدَدُ شُهُورِهِ؟ | ٢١ 21 |
For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?
| «أَٱللهُ يُعَلَّمُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَهُوَ يَقْضِي عَلَى ٱلْعَالِينَ؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?
| هَذَا يَمُوتُ فِي عَيْنِ كَمَالِهِ. كُلُّهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ وَسَاكِنٌ. | ٢٣ 23 |
One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:
| أَحْوَاضُهُ مَلآنَةٌ لَبَنًا، وَمُخُّ عِظَامِهِ طَرِيٌّ. | ٢٤ 24 |
His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
| وَذَلِكَ يَمُوتُ بِنَفْسٍ مُرَّةٍ وَلَمْ يَذُقْ خَيْرًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
And another dieth in bitterness of soul, And never tasteth of good.
| كِلَاهُمَا يَضْطَجِعَانِ مَعًا فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلدُّودُ يَغْشَاهُمَا. | ٢٦ 26 |
They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.
| «هُوَذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَفْكَارَكُمْ وَٱلنِّيَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا تَظْلِمُونَنِي. | ٢٧ 27 |
Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.
| لِأَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ بَيْتُ ٱلْعَاتِي؟ وَأَيْنَ خَيْمَةُ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?
| أَفَلَمْ تَسْأَلُوا عَابِرِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ، وَلَمْ تَفْطِنُوا لِدَلَائِلِهِمْ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,
| إِنَّهُ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْبَوَارِ يُمْسَكُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ. لِيَوْمِ ٱلسَّخَطِ يُقَادُونَ. | ٣٠ 30 |
That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?
| مَنْ يُعْلِنُ طَرِيقَهُ لِوَجْهِهِ؟ وَمَنْ يُجَازِيهِ عَلَى مَا عَمِلَ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?
| هُوَ إِلَى ٱلْقُبُورِ يُقَادُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمَدْفَنِ يُسْهَرُ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb.
| حُلْوٌ لَهُ مَدَرُ ٱلْوَادِي. يَزْحَفُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَرَاءَهُ، وَقُدَّامَهُ مَا لَا عَدَدَ لَهُ. | ٣٣ 33 |
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him.
| فَكَيْفَ تُعَزُّونَنِي بَاطِلًا وَأَجْوِبَتُكُمْ بَقِيَتْ خِيَانَةً؟». | ٣٤ 34 |
How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth [only] falsehood?
