أَيُّوبَ 28
| «لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ لِلْفِضَّةِ مَعْدَنٌ، وَمَوْضِعٌ لِلذَّهَبِ حَيْثُ يُمَحِّصُونَهُ. | ١ 1 |
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
| ٱلْحَدِيدُ يُسْتَخْرَجُ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَٱلْحَجَرُ يَسْكُبُ نُحَاسًا. | ٢ 2 |
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
| قَدْ جَعَلَ لِلظُّلْمَةِ نَهَايَةً، وَإِلَى كُلِّ طَرَفٍ هُوَ يَفْحَصُ. حَجَرَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ وَظِلَّ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ٣ 3 |
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
| حَفَرَ مَنْجَمًا بَعِيدًا عَنِ ٱلسُّكَّانِ. بِلَا مَوْطِئٍ لِلْقَدَمِ، مُتَدَلِّينَ بَعِيدِينَ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَتَدَلْدَلُونَ. | ٤ 4 |
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
| أَرْضٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا ٱلْخُبْزُ، أَسْفَلُهَا يَنْقَلِبُ كَمَا بِٱلنَّارِ. | ٥ 5 |
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
| حِجَارَتُهَا هِيَ مَوْضِعُ ٱلْيَاقُوتِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ، وَفِيهَا تُرَابُ ٱلذَّهَبِ. | ٦ 6 |
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
| سَبِيلٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ كَاسِرٌ، وَلَمْ تُبْصِرْهُ عَيْنُ بَاشِقٍ، | ٧ 7 |
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:

The lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
| إِلَى ٱلصَّوَّانِ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ. يَقْلِبُ ٱلْجِبَالَ مِنْ أُصُولِهَا. | ٩ 9 |
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
| يَنْقُرُ فِي ٱلصُّخُورِ سَرَبًا، وَعَيْنُهُ تَرَى كُلَّ ثَمِينٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
| يَمْنَعُ رَشْحَ ٱلْأَنْهَارِ، وَأَبْرَزَ ٱلْخَفِيَّاتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ. | ١١ 11 |
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
| «أَمَّا ٱلْحِكْمَةُ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ تُوجَدُ، وَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَكَانُ ٱلْفَهْمِ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
| لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ قِيمَتَهَا وَلَا تُوجَدُ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
| ٱلْغَمْرُ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَتْ هِيَ فِيَّ، وَٱلْبَحْرُ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَتْ هِيَ عِنْدِي. | ١٤ 14 |
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
| لَا يُعْطَى ذَهَبٌ خَالِصٌ بَدَلَهَا، وَلَا تُوزَنُ فِضَّةٌ ثَمَنًا لَهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
| لَا تُوزَنُ بِذَهَبِ أُوفِيرَ أَوْ بِٱلْجَزْعِ ٱلْكَرِيمِ أَوِ ٱلْيَاقُوتِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ. | ١٦ 16 |
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
| لَا يُعَادِلُهَا ٱلذَّهَبُ وَلَا ٱلزُّجَاجُ، وَلَا تُبْدَلُ بِإِنَاءِ ذَهَبٍ إِبْرِيزٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
| لَا يُذْكَرُ ٱلْمَرْجَانُ أَوِ ٱلْبَلُّوْرُ، وَتَحْصِيلُ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ ٱللَّآلِئِ. | ١٨ 18 |
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
| لَا يُعَادِلُهَا يَاقُوتُ كُوشَ ٱلْأَصْفَرُ، وَلَا تُوزَنُ بِٱلذَّهَبِ ٱلْخَالِصِ. | ١٩ 19 |
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
| «فَمِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِي ٱلْحِكْمَةُ، وَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَكَانُ ٱلْفَهْمِ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
| إِذْ أُخْفِيَتْ عَنْ عُيُونِ كُلِّ حَيٍّ، وَسُتِرَتْ عَنْ طَيْرِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
| اَلْهَلَاكُ وَٱلْمَوْتُ يَقُولَانِ: بِآذَانِنَا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا خَبَرَهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
| ٱللهُ يَفْهَمُ طَرِيقَهَا، وَهُوَ عَالِمٌ بِمَكَانِهَا. | ٢٣ 23 |
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَقَاصِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يَرَى. | ٢٤ 24 |
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
| لِيَجْعَلَ لِلرِّيحِ وَزْنًا، وَيُعَايِرَ ٱلْمِيَاهَ بِمِقْيَاسٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
| لَمَّا جَعَلَ لِلْمَطَرِ فَرِيضَةً، وَمَذْهَبًا لِلصَّوَاعِقِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
| حِينَئِذٍ رَآهَا وَأَخْبَرَ بِهَا، هَيَّأَهَا وَأَيْضًا بَحَثَ عَنْهَا، | ٢٧ 27 |
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
| وَقَالَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ: هُوَذَا مَخَافَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ هِيَ ٱلْحِكْمَةُ، وَٱلْحَيَدَانُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ هُوَ ٱلْفَهْمُ». | ٢٨ 28 |
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
