أَيُّوبَ 26

١ 1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ:

But Job answered and said,

٢ 2 «كَيْفَ أَعَنْتَ مَنْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ، وَخَلَّصْتَ ذِرَاعًا لَا عِزَّ لَهَا؟

To whom do you attach yourself, or whom are you going to assist? is it not he that [has] much strength, and [he] who has a strong arm?

٣ 3 كَيْفَ أَشَرْتَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا حِكْمَةَ لَهُ، وَأَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْفَهْمَ بِكَثْرَةٍ؟

To whom have you given counsel? is it not to him who has all wisdom? whom will you follow? is it not one who has the greatest power?

٤ 4 لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالًا، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟

To whom have you uttered words? and whose breath is it that has come forth from you?

٥ 5 «اَلْأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا.

Shall giants be born from under the water and the inhabitants thereof?

٦ 6 ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ. (Sheol h7585)

Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering. (Sheol h7585)

٧ 7 يَمُدُّ ٱلشَّمَالَ عَلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ.

He stretches out the north wind upon nothing, and he upon nothing hangs the earth;

٨ 8 يَصُرُّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلَا يَتَمَزَّقُ ٱلْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.

binding water in his clouds, and the cloud is not tore under it.

٩ 9 يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ.

He keeps back the face of his throne, stretching out his cloud upon it.

١٠ 10 رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ ٱتِّصَالِ ٱلنُّورِ بِٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

He has encompassed the face of the water by an appointed ordinance, until the end of light and darkness.

١١ 11 أَعْمِدَةُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ.

The pillars of heaven are prostrate and astonished at his rebuke.

١٢ 12 بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.

He has calmed the sea with [his] might, and by [his] wisdom the whale has been overthrown.

١٣ 13 بِنَفْخَتِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا ٱلْحَيَّةَ ٱلْهَارِبَةَ.

And the barriers of heaven fear him, and by a command he has slain the apostate dragon.

١٤ 14 هَا هَذِهِ أَطْرَافُ طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَضَ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا رَعْدُ جَبَرُوتِهِ فَمَنْ يَفْهَمُ؟».

Behold, these are parts of his way; and we will listen to him at the least intimation of his word: but the strength of his thunder who knows, when he shall employ [it]?
