< أَيُّوبَ 22 >
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
«هَلْ يَنْفَعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱللهَ؟ بَلْ يَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ ٱلْفَطِنُ! | ٢ 2 |
Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.
هَلْ مِنْ مَسَرَّةٍ لِلْقَدِيرِ إِذَا تَبَرَّرْتَ، أَوْ مِنْ فَائِدَةٍ إِذَا قَوَّمْتَ طُرُقَكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?
هَلْ عَلَى تَقْوَاكَ يُوَبِّخُكَ، أَوْ يَدْخُلُ مَعَكَ فِي ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Is it for thy fear [of him] that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?
أَلَيْسَ شَرُّكَ عَظِيمًا، وَآثَامُكَ لَا نِهَايَةَ لَهَا؟ | ٥ 5 |
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
لِأَنَّكَ ٱرْتَهَنْتَ أَخَاكَ بِلَا سَبَبٍ، وَسَلَبْتَ ثِيَابَ ٱلْعُرَاةِ. | ٦ 6 |
For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
مَاءً لَمْ تَسْقِ ٱلْعَطْشَانَ، وَعَنِ ٱلْجَوْعَانِ مَنَعْتَ خُبْزًا. | ٧ 7 |
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
أَمَّا صَاحِبُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ فَلَهُ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَٱلْمُتَرَفِّعُ ٱلْوَجْهِ سَاكِنٌ فِيهَا. | ٨ 8 |
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
ٱلْأَرَامِلَ أَرْسَلْتَ خَالِيَاتٍ، وَذِرَاعُ ٱلْيَتَامَى ٱنْسَحَقَتْ. | ٩ 9 |
Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ حَوَالَيْكَ فِخَاخٌ، وَيُرِيعُكَ رُعْبٌ بَغْتَةً | ١٠ 10 |
Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,
أَوْ ظُلْمَةٌ فَلَا تَرَى، وَفَيْضُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ يُغَطِّيكَ. | ١١ 11 |
Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.
«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ فِي عُلُوِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ. وَٱنْظُرْ رَأْسَ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ مَا أَعْلَاهُ! | ١٢ 12 |
Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
فَقُلْتَ: كَيْفَ يَعْلَمُ ٱللهُ؟ هَلْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلضَّبَابِ يَقْضِي؟ | ١٣ 13 |
And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
ٱلسَّحَابُ سِتْرٌ لَهُ فَلَا يُرَى، وَعَلَى دَائِرَةِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يَتَمَشَّى. | ١٤ 14 |
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.
هَلْ تَحْفَظُ طَرِيقَ ٱلْقِدَمِ ٱلَّذِي دَاسَهُ رِجَالُ ٱلْإِثْمِ، | ١٥ 15 |
Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?
ٱلَّذِينَ قُبِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَ ٱلْوَقْتِ؟ ٱلْغَمْرُ ٱنْصَبَّ عَلَى أَسَاسِهِمِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
ٱلْقَائِلِينَ لِلهِ: ٱبْعُدْ عَنَّا. وَمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ لَهُمْ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?
وَهُوَ قَدْ مَلَأَ بُيُوتَهُمْ خَيْرًا. لِتَبْعُدْ عَنِّي مَشُورَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
ٱلْأَبْرَارُ يَنْظُرُونَ وَيَفْرَحُونَ، وَٱلْبَرِيءُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٩ 19 |
The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
أَلَمْ يُبَدْ مُقَاوِمُونَا، وَبَقِيَّتُهُمْ قَدْ أَكَلَتْهَا ٱلنَّارُ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
[Saying], Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
«تَعَرَّفْ بِهِ وَٱسْلَمْ. بِذَلِكَ يَأْتِيكَ خَيْرٌ. | ٢١ 21 |
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.
ٱقْبَلِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ، وَضَعْ كَلَامَهُ فِي قَلْبِكَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.
إِنْ رَجَعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ تُبْنَى. إِنْ أَبْعَدْتَ ظُلْمًا مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ، | ٢٣ 23 |
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
وَأَلْقَيْتَ ٱلتِّبْرَ عَلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ وَذَهَبَ أُوفِيرَ بَيْنَ حَصَا ٱلْأَوْدِيَةِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
And lay thou [thy] treasure in the dust, And [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the brooks;
يَكُونُ ٱلْقَدِيرُ تِبْرَكَ وَفِضَّةَ أَتْعَابٍ لَكَ، | ٢٥ 25 |
And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.
لِأَنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ تَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ وَتَرْفَعُ إِلَى ٱللهِ وَجْهَكَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
تُصَلِّي لَهُ فَيَسْتَمِعُ لَكَ، وَنُذُورُكَ تُوفِيهَا. | ٢٧ 27 |
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.
وَتَجْزِمُ أَمْرًا فَيُثَبَّتُ لَكَ، وَعَلَى طُرُقِكَ يُضِيءُ نُورٌ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.
إِذَا وُضِعُوا تَقُولُ: رَفْعٌ. وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمُنْخَفِضَ ٱلْعَيْنَيْنِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
يُنَجِّي غَيْرَ ٱلْبَرِيءِ وَيُنْجَى بِطَهَارَةِ يَدَيْكَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
