< أَيُّوبَ 36 >
وَعَادَ أَلِيهُو فَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Eliu also proceeded, and said:
«ٱصْبِرْ عَلَيَّ قَلِيلًا، فَأُبْدِيَ لَكَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدُ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ كَلَامٌ. | ٢ 2 |
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee: for I have yet somewhat to speak in God’s behalf.
أَحْمِلُ مَعْرِفَتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَنْسُبُ بِرًّا لِصَانِعِي. | ٣ 3 |
I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
حَقًّا لَا يَكْذِبُ كَلَامِي. صَحِيحُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ عِنْدَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَزِيزٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَرْذُلُ أَحَدًا. عَزِيزُ قُدْرَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
لَا يُحْيي ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، بَلْ يُجْرِي قَضَاءَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
لَا يُحَوِّلُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ ٱلْبَارِّ، بَلْ مَعَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ يُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ أَبَدًا، فَيَرْتَفِعُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
إِنْ أُوثِقُوا بِٱلْقُيُودِ، إِنْ أُخِذُوا فِي حِبَالَةِ ٱلذِّلِّ، | ٨ 8 |
And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty:
فَيُظْهِرُ لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَمَعَاصِيَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَجَبَّرُوا، | ٩ 9 |
He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِلْإِنْذَارِ، وَيَأْمُرُ بِأَنْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He also shall open their ear, to correct them: and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.
إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَأَطَاعُوا قَضَوْا أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ وَسِنِيهِمْ بِٱلنِّعَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.
وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، فَبِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ يَزُولُونَ، وَيَمُوتُونَ بِعَدَمِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.
أَمَّا فُجَّارُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ غَضَبًا. لَا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ إِذَا هُوَ قَيَّدَهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.
تَمُوتُ نَفْسُهُمْ فِي ٱلصِّبَا وَحَيَاتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.
يُنَجِّي ٱلْبَائِسَ فِي ذِلِّهِ، وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.
«وَأَيْضًا يَقُودُكَ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ لَا حَصْرَ فِيهِ، وَيَمْلَأُ مَؤُونَةَ مَائِدَتِكَ دُهْنًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it: and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.
حُجَّةَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ أَكْمَلْتَ، فَٱلْحُجَّةُ وَٱلْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.
عِنْدَ غَضَبِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَقُودُكَ بِصَفْقَةٍ. فَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْفِدْيَةِ لَا تَفُكُّكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man: neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.
هَلْ يَعْتَبِرُ غِنَاكَ؟ لَا ٱلتِّبْرَ وَلَا جَمِيعَ قُوَى ٱلثَّرْوَةِ! | ١٩ 19 |
Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.
لَا تَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ شُعُوبًا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.
اِحْذَرْ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ لِأَنَّكَ ٱخْتَرْتَ هَذَا عَلَى ٱلذِّلِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ يَتَعَالَى بِقُدْرَتِهِ. مَنْ مِثْلُهُ مُعَلِّمًا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.
مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ طَرِيقَهُ، أَوْ مَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ شَرًّا؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him: Thou has wrought iniquity?
اُذْكُرْ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُغَنِّي بِهِ ٱلنَّاسُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.
كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُبْصِرُ بِهِ. ٱلنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.
هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَظِيمٌ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُفْحَصُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge: the number of his years is inestimable.
لِأَنَّهُ يَجْذُبُ قِطَارَ ٱلْمَاءِ. تَسُحُّ مَطَرًا مِنْ ضَبَابِهَا | ٢٧ 27 |
He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods:
ٱلَّذِي تَهْطِلُهُ ٱلسُّحُبُ وَتَقْطُرُهُ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ كَثِيرِينَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.
فَهَلْ يُعَلِّلُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ شَقِّ ٱلْغَيْمِ أَوْ قَصِيفِ مِظَلَّتِهِ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
If he will spread out clouds as his tent,
هُوَذَا بَسَطَ نُورَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَغَطَّى بِأُصُولِ ٱلْيَمِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
لِأَنَّهُ بِهَذِهِ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ، وَيَرْزُقُ ٱلْقُوتَ بِكَثْرَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.
يُغَطِّي كَفَّيْهِ بِٱلنُّورِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.
يُخْبِرُ بِهِ رَعْدُهُ، ٱلْمَوَاشِيَ أَيْضًا بِصُعُودِهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
