أَيُّوبَ 32

١ 1 فَكَفَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ٱلرِّجَالُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ عَنْ مُجَاوَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ لِكَوْنِهِ بَارًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِهِ.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

٢ 2 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيهُوَ بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ ٱلْبُوزِيِّ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ. عَلَى أَيُّوبَ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ لأِنَّهُ حَسِبَ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ ٱللهِ.

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

٣ 3 وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا جَوَابًا وَٱسْتَذْنَبُوا أَيُّوبَ.

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ صَبَرَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ بِٱلْكَلَامِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا.

Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.

٥ 5 فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّهُ لَا جَوَابَ فِي أَفْوَاهِ ٱلرِّجَالِ ٱلثَّلَاثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ.

And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

٦ 6 فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو بْنُ بَرَخْئِيلَ ٱلْبُوزِيُّ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا صَغِيرٌ فِي ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ خِفْتُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِيِ.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.

٧ 7 قُلْتُ: ٱلْأَيَّامُ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَكَثْرَةُ ٱلسِّنِينِ تُظْهِرُ حِكْمَةً.

I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

٨ 8 وَلَكِنَّ فِي ٱلنَّاسِ رُوحًا، وَنَسَمَةُ ٱلْقَدِيرِ تُعَقِّلُهُمْ.

But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.

٩ 9 لَيْسَ ٱلْكَثِيرُو ٱلْأَيَّامِ حُكَمَاءَ، وَلَا ٱلشُّيُوخُ يَفْهَمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ.

It is not the great that are wise, nor the aged that discern judgment.

١٠ 10 لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: ٱسْمَعُونِي. أَنَا أَيْضًا أُبْدِي رَأْيِيِ.

Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'

١١ 11 هَأَنَذَا قَدْ صَبَرْتُ لِكَلَامِكُمْ. أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حَتَّى فَحَصْتُمُ ٱلْأَقْوَالَ.

Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

١٢ 12 فَتَأَمَّلْتُ فِيكُمْ وَإِذْ لَيْسَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَيُّوبَ، وَلَا جَوَابَ مِنْكُمْ لِكَلَامِهِ.

Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.

١٣ 13 فَلَا تَقُولُوا: قَدْ وَجَدْنَا حِكْمَةً. ٱللهُ يَغْلِبُهُ لَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ.

Beware lest ye say: 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man!'

١٤ 14 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ إِلَيَّ كَلَامَهُ وَلَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنَا بِكَلَامِكُمْ.

For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.

١٥ 15 تَحَيَّرُوا. لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ. ٱنْتَزَعَ عَنْهُمُ ٱلْكَلَامُ.

They are amazed, they answer no more; words are departed from them.

١٦ 16 فَٱنْتَظَرْتُ لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا. لِأَنَّهُمْ وَقَفُوا، لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ.

And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?

١٧ 17 فَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضًا حِصَّتِي، وَأُبْدِي أَنَا أَيْضًا رَأْيِيِ.

I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.

١٨ 18 لِأَنِّي مَلآنٌ أَقْوَالًا. رُوحُ بَاطِنِي تُضَايِقُنِي.

For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.

١٩ 19 هُوَذَا بَطْنِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ. كَٱلزِّقَاقِ ٱلْجَدِيدَةِ يَكَادُ يَنْشَقُّ.

Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.

٢٠ 20 أَتَكَلَّمُ فَأُفْرَجُ. أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ وَأُجِيبُ.

I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

٢١ 21 لَا أُحَابِيَنَّ وَجْهَ رَجُلٍ وَلَا أَمْلُثُ إِنْسَانًا.

Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

٢٢ 22 لِأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ ٱلْمَلْثَ. لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ يَأْخُذُنِي صَانِعِي.

For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
