أَيُّوبَ 41
| «أَتَصْطَادُ لَوِيَاثَانَ بِشِصٍّ، أَوْ تَضْغَطُ لِسَانَهُ بِحَبْلٍ؟ | ١ 1 |
Canst thou draw out the leviathan with a hook, or canst thou tie his tongue with a cord?
| أَتَضَعُ أَسَلَةً فِي خَطْمِهِ، أَمْ تَثْقُبُ فَكَّهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Canst thou put a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with a buckle?
| أَيُكْثِرُ ٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ إِلَيْكَ، أَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ بِٱللِّينِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Will he make many supplications to thee, or speak soft words to thee?
| هَلْ يَقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهْدًا فَتَتَّخِذَهُ عَبْدًا مُؤَبَّدًا؟ | ٤ 4 |
Will he make a covenant with thee, and wilt thou take him to be a servant for ever?
| أَتَلْعَبُ مَعَهُ كَٱلْعُصْفُورِ، أَوْ تَرْبِطُهُ لِأَجْلِ فَتَيَاتِكَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Shalt thou play with him as with a bird, or tie him up for thy handmaids?
| هَلْ تَحْفِرُ جَمَاعَةُ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ لِأَجْلِهِ حُفْرَةً، أَوْ يَقْسِمُونَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ؟ | ٦ 6 |
Shall friends cut him in pieces, shall merchants divide him?
| أَتَمْلَأُ جِلْدَهُ حِرَابًا وَرَأْسَهُ بِإِلَالِ ٱلسَّمَكِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Wilt thou fill nets with his skin, and the cabins of fishes with his head?
| ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ. لَا تَعُدْ تَذْكُرُ ٱلْقِتَالَ! | ٨ 8 |
Lay thy hand upon him: remember the battle, and speak no more.
| هُوَذَا ٱلرَّجَاءُ بِهِ كَاذِبٌ. أَلَا يُكَبُّ أَيْضًا بِرُؤْيَتِهِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Behold his hope shall fail him, and in the sight of all he shall be cast down.
| لَيْسَ مِنْ شُجَاعٍ يُوقِظُهُ، فَمَنْ يَقِفُ إِذًا بِوَجْهِي؟ | ١٠ 10 |
I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel: for who can resist my countenance?
| مَنْ تَقَدَّمَنِي فَأُوفِيَهُ؟ مَا تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ هُوَ لِي. | ١١ 11 |
Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
| «لَا أَسْكُتُ عَنْ أَعْضَائِهِ، وَخَبَرِ قُوَّتِهِ وَبَهْجَةِ عُدَّتِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.
| مَنْ يَكْشِفُ وَجْهَ لِبْسِهِ، وَمَنْ يَدْنُو مِنْ مَثْنَى لَجَمَتِهِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?
| مَنْ يَفْتَحُ مِصْرَاعَيْ فَمِهِ؟ دَائِرَةُ أَسْنَانِهِ مُرْعِبَةٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
| فَخْرُهُ مَجَانُّ مَانِعَةٌ مُحَكَّمَةٌ مَضْغُوطَةٌ بِخَاتِمٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.
| ٱلْوَاحِدُ يَمَسُّ ٱلْآخَرَ، فَٱلرِّيحُ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them:
| كُلٌّ مِنْهَا مُلْتَصِقٌ بِصَاحِبِهِ، مُتَلَكِّدَةً لَا تَنْفَصِلُ. | ١٧ 17 |
They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.
| عُطَاسُهُ يَبْعَثُ نُورًا، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَهُدُبِ ٱلصُّبْحِ. | ١٨ 18 |
His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.
| مِنْ فِيهِ تَخْرُجُ مَصَابِيحُ. شَرَارُ نَارٍ تَتَطَايَرُ مِنْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.
| مِنْ مَنْخَرَيْهِ يَخْرُجُ دُخَانٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِدْرٍ مَنْفُوخٍ أَوْ مِنْ مِرْجَلٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.
| نَفَسُهُ يُشْعِلُ جَمْرًا، وَلَهِيبٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.
| فِي عُنُقِهِ تَبِيتُ ٱلْقُوَّةُ، وَأَمَامَهُ يَدُوسُ ٱلْهَوْلُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.
| مَطَاوِي لَحْمِهِ مُتَلَاصِقَةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَتَحَرَّكُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.
| قَلْبُهُ صُلْبٌ كَٱلْحَجَرِ، وَقَاسٍ كَٱلرَّحَى. | ٢٤ 24 |
His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith’s anvil.
| عِنْدَ نُهُوضِهِ تَفْزَعُ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءُ. مِنَ ٱلْمَخَاوِفِ يَتِيهُونَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.
| سَيْفُ ٱلَّذِي يَلْحَقُهُ لَا يَقُومُ، وَلَا رُمْحٌ وَلَا مِزْرَاقٌ وَلَا دِرْعٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
| يَحْسِبُ ٱلْحَدِيدَ كَٱلتِّبْنِ، وَٱلنُّحَاسَ كَٱلْعُودِ ٱلنَّخِرِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
| لَا يَسْتَفِزُّهُ نُبْلُ ٱلْقَوْسِ. حِجَارَةُ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ تَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ كَٱلْقَشِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.
| يَحْسَبُ ٱلْمِقْمَعَةَ كَقَشٍّ، وَيَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱهْتِزَازِ ٱلرُّمْحِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.
| تَحْتَهُ قُطَعُ خَزَفٍ حَادَّةٌ. يُمَدِّدُ نَوْرَجًا عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.
| يَجْعَلُ ٱلْعُمْقَ يَغْلِي كَٱلْقِدْرِ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْبَحْرَ كَقِدْرِ عِطَارَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.
| يُضِيءُ ٱلسَّبِيلُ وَرَاءَهُ فَيُحْسَبُ ٱللُّجُّ أَشْيَبَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.
| لَيْسَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظِيرٌ. صُنِعَ لِعَدَمِ ٱلْخَوْفِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one.
| يُشْرِفُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَالٍ. هُوَ مَلِكٌ عَلَى كُلِّ بَنِي ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ». | ٣٤ 34 |
He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.
