أَيُّوبَ 37

١ 1 «فَلِهَذَا ٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبِي وَخَفَقَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ.

At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.

٢ 2 ٱسْمَعُوا سَمَاعًا رَعْدَ صَوْتِهِ وَٱلزَّمْزَمَةَ ٱلْخَارِجَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ.

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.

٣ 3 تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُطْلِقُهَا، كَذَا نُورُهُ إِلَى أَكْنَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

٤ 4 بَعْدُ يُزَمْجِرُ صَوْتٌ، يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلَالِهِ، وَلَا يُؤَخِّرُهَا إِذْ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهُ.

After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

٥ 5 ٱللهُ يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِهِ عَجَبًا. يَصْنَعُ عَظَائِمَ لَا نُدْرِكُهَا.

God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.

٦ 6 لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ: ٱسْقُطْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَذَا لِوَابِلِ ٱلْمَطَرِ، وَابِلِ أَمْطَارِ عِزِّهِ.

For he says to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

٧ 7 يَخْتِمُ عَلَى يَدِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ ٱلنَّاسِ خَالِقَهُمْ،

He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

٨ 8 فَتَدْخُلُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْمَآوِيَ، وَتَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَوْجِرَتِهَا.

Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

٩ 9 مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَأْتِي ٱلْإِعْصَارُ، وَمِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْبَرَدُ.

Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

١٠ 10 مِنْ نَسَمَةِ ٱللهِ يُجْعَلُ ٱلْجَمْدُ، وَتَتَضَيَّقُ سِعَةُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

١١ 11 أَيْضًا بِرِيٍّ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْغَيْمَ. يُبَدِّدُ سَحَابَ نُورِهِ.

Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:

١٢ 12 فَهِيَ مُدَوَّرَةٌ مُتَقَلِّبَةٌ بِإِدَارَتِهِ، لِتَفْعَلَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ،

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the earth.

١٣ 13 سَوَاءٌ كَانَ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لِأَرْضِهِ أَوْ لِلرَّحْمَةِ يُرْسِلُهَا.

He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

١٤ 14 «اُنْصُتْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَقِفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ بِعَجَائِبِ ٱللهِ.

Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

١٥ 15 أَتُدْرِكُ ٱنْتِبَاهَ ٱللهِ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ إِضَاءَةَ نُورِ سَحَابِهِ؟

Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

١٦ 16 أَتُدْرِكُ مُوازَنَةَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، مُعْجِزَاتِ ٱلْكَامِلِ ٱلْمَعَارِفِ؟

Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

١٧ 17 كَيْفَ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُكَ إِذَا سَكَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ رِيحِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟

How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?

١٨ 18 هَلْ صَفَّحْتَ مَعَهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ ٱلْمُمَكَّنَ كَٱلْمِرْآةِ ٱلْمَسْبُوكَةِ؟

Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

١٩ 19 عَلِّمْنَا مَا نَقُولُ لَهُ. إِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ!

Teach us what we shall say to him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

٢٠ 20 هَلْ يُقَصُّ عَلَيْهِ كَلَامِي إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُ؟ هَلْ يَنْطِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِكَيْ يَبْتَلِعَ؟

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

٢١ 21 وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُرَى ٱلنُّورُ ٱلْبَاهِرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْجَلَدِ، ثُمَّ تَعْبُرُ ٱلرِّيحُ فَتُنَقِّيهِ.

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleans them.

٢٢ 22 مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي ذَهَبٌ. عِنْدَ ٱللهِ جَلَالٌ مُرْهِبٌ.

Fair weather comes out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

٢٣ 23 ٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا نُدْرِكُهُ. عَظِيمُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، وَكَثِيرُ ٱلْبِرِّ. لَا يُجَاوِبُ.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

٢٤ 24 لِذَلِكَ فَلْتَخَفْهُ ٱلنَّاسُ. كُلَّ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَا يُرَاعِي».

Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart.
