< أَيُّوبَ 23 >
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Bvt Iob answered and sayd,
«ٱلْيَوْمَ أَيْضًا شَكْوَايَ تَمَرُّدٌ. ضَرْبَتِي أَثْقَلُ مِنْ تَنَهُّدِي. | ٢ 2 |
Though my talke be this day in bitternes, and my plague greater then my groning,
مَنْ يُعْطِينِي أَنْ أَجِدَهُ، فَآتِيَ إِلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ، | ٣ 3 |
Would God yet I knew how to finde him, I would enter vnto his place.
أُحْسِنُ ٱلدَّعْوَى أَمَامَهُ، وَأَمْلَأُ فَمِي حُجَجًا، | ٤ 4 |
I would pleade the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
فَأَعْرِفُ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا يُجِيبُنِي، وَأَفْهَمُ مَا يَقُولُهُ لِي؟ | ٥ 5 |
I would knowe the wordes, that he would answere me, and would vnderstand what he would say vnto me.
أَبِكَثْرَةِ قُوَّةٍ يُخَاصِمُنِي؟ كَّلَّا! وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْتَبِهُ إِلَيَّ. | ٦ 6 |
Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.
هُنَالِكَ كَانَ يُحَاجُّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُ، وَكُنْتُ أَنْجُو إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ مِنْ قَاضِيَّ. | ٧ 7 |
There the righteous might reason with him, so I shoulde be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.
هَأَنَذَا أَذْهَبُ شَرْقًا فَلَيْسَ هُوَ هُنَاكَ، وَغَرْبًا فَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Behold, if I go to the East, he is not there: if to the West, yet I can not perceiue him:
شِمَالًا حَيْثُ عَمَلُهُ فَلَا أَنْظُرُهُ. يَتَعَطَّفُ ٱلْجَنُوبَ فَلَا أَرَاهُ. | ٩ 9 |
If to the North where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he wil hide himselfe in the South, and I cannot beholde him.
«لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ طَرِيقِي. إِذَا جَرَّبَنِي أَخْرُجُ كَٱلذَّهَبِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But he knoweth my way, and trieth mee, and I shall come forth like the gold.
بِخَطَوَاتِهِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَتْ رِجْلِي. حَفِظْتُ طَرِيقَهُ وَلَمْ أَحِدْ. | ١١ 11 |
My foote hath followed his steps: his way haue I kept, and haue not declined.
مِنْ وَصِيَّةِ شَفَتَيْهِ لَمْ أَبْرَحْ. أَكْثَرَ مِنْ فَرِيضَتِي ذَخَرْتُ كَلَامَ فِيهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Neyther haue I departed from the commandement of his lippes, and I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then mine appointed foode.
أَمَّا هُوَ فَوَحْدَهُ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ وَنَفْسُهُ تَشْتَهِي فَيَفْعَلُ. | ١٣ 13 |
Yet he is in one minde, and who can turne him? yea, he doeth what his minde desireth.
لِأَنَّهُ يُتَمِّمُ ٱلْمَفْرُوضَ عَلَيَّ، وَكَثِيرٌ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ عِنْدَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him.
مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ أَرْتَاعُ قُدَّامَهُ. أَتَأَمَّلُ فَأَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him.
لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَضْعَفَ قَلْبِي، وَٱلْقَدِيرَ رَوَّعَنِي. | ١٦ 16 |
For God hath softened mine heart, and the Almightie hath troubled me.
لِأَنِّي لَمْ أُقْطَعْ قَبْلَ ٱلظَّلَامِ، وَمِنْ وَجْهِي لَمْ يُغَطِّ ٱلدُّجَى. | ١٧ 17 |
For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.
