أَيُّوبَ 41
| «أَتَصْطَادُ لَوِيَاثَانَ بِشِصٍّ، أَوْ تَضْغَطُ لِسَانَهُ بِحَبْلٍ؟ | ١ 1 |
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord [which] thou lettest down?
| أَتَضَعُ أَسَلَةً فِي خَطْمِهِ، أَمْ تَثْقُبُ فَكَّهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
| أَيُكْثِرُ ٱلتَّضَرُّعَاتِ إِلَيْكَ، أَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَكَ بِٱللِّينِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Will he make many supplications to thee? will he speak soft [words] to thee?
| هَلْ يَقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهْدًا فَتَتَّخِذَهُ عَبْدًا مُؤَبَّدًا؟ | ٤ 4 |
Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
| أَتَلْعَبُ مَعَهُ كَٱلْعُصْفُورِ، أَوْ تَرْبِطُهُ لِأَجْلِ فَتَيَاتِكَ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
| هَلْ تَحْفِرُ جَمَاعَةُ ٱلصَّيَّادِينَ لِأَجْلِهِ حُفْرَةً، أَوْ يَقْسِمُونَهُ بَيْنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ؟ | ٦ 6 |
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants.
| أَتَمْلَأُ جِلْدَهُ حِرَابًا وَرَأْسَهُ بِإِلَالِ ٱلسَّمَكِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
| ضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ. لَا تَعُدْ تَذْكُرُ ٱلْقِتَالَ! | ٨ 8 |
Lay thy hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
| هُوَذَا ٱلرَّجَاءُ بِهِ كَاذِبٌ. أَلَا يُكَبُّ أَيْضًا بِرُؤْيَتِهِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast down even at the sight of him?
| لَيْسَ مِنْ شُجَاعٍ يُوقِظُهُ، فَمَنْ يَقِفُ إِذًا بِوَجْهِي؟ | ١٠ 10 |
None [is so] fierce that he dare rouse him: who then is able to stand before me?
| مَنْ تَقَدَّمَنِي فَأُوفِيَهُ؟ مَا تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ هُوَ لِي. | ١١ 11 |
Who hath first benefited me, that I should repay [him]? [whatever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
| «لَا أَسْكُتُ عَنْ أَعْضَائِهِ، وَخَبَرِ قُوَّتِهِ وَبَهْجَةِ عُدَّتِهِ. | ١٢ 12 |
I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
| مَنْ يَكْشِفُ وَجْهَ لِبْسِهِ، وَمَنْ يَدْنُو مِنْ مَثْنَى لَجَمَتِهِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come [to him] with his double bridle?
| مَنْ يَفْتَحُ مِصْرَاعَيْ فَمِهِ؟ دَائِرَةُ أَسْنَانِهِ مُرْعِبَةٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible around.
| فَخْرُهُ مَجَانُّ مَانِعَةٌ مُحَكَّمَةٌ مَضْغُوطَةٌ بِخَاتِمٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
[His] scales [are his] pride, shut together [as with] a close seal.
| ٱلْوَاحِدُ يَمَسُّ ٱلْآخَرَ، فَٱلرِّيحُ لَا تَدْخُلُ بَيْنَهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
| كُلٌّ مِنْهَا مُلْتَصِقٌ بِصَاحِبِهِ، مُتَلَكِّدَةً لَا تَنْفَصِلُ. | ١٧ 17 |
They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
| عُطَاسُهُ يَبْعَثُ نُورًا، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَهُدُبِ ٱلصُّبْحِ. | ١٨ 18 |
His sneezings flash light, and his eyes [are] like the eyelids of the morning.
| مِنْ فِيهِ تَخْرُجُ مَصَابِيحُ. شَرَارُ نَارٍ تَتَطَايَرُ مِنْهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire dart forth.
| مِنْ مَنْخَرَيْهِ يَخْرُجُ دُخَانٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ قِدْرٍ مَنْفُوخٍ أَوْ مِنْ مِرْجَلٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Out of his nostrils issueth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or caldron.
| نَفَسُهُ يُشْعِلُ جَمْرًا، وَلَهِيبٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame issueth from his mouth.
| فِي عُنُقِهِ تَبِيتُ ٱلْقُوَّةُ، وَأَمَامَهُ يَدُوسُ ٱلْهَوْلُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
| مَطَاوِي لَحْمِهِ مُتَلَاصِقَةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَتَحَرَّكُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
| قَلْبُهُ صُلْبٌ كَٱلْحَجَرِ، وَقَاسٍ كَٱلرَّحَى. | ٢٤ 24 |
His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the nether [millstone].
| عِنْدَ نُهُوضِهِ تَفْزَعُ ٱلْأَقْوِيَاءُ. مِنَ ٱلْمَخَاوِفِ يَتِيهُونَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
| سَيْفُ ٱلَّذِي يَلْحَقُهُ لَا يَقُومُ، وَلَا رُمْحٌ وَلَا مِزْرَاقٌ وَلَا دِرْعٌ. | ٢٦ 26 |
The sword of him that attacketh him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
| يَحْسِبُ ٱلْحَدِيدَ كَٱلتِّبْنِ، وَٱلنُّحَاسَ كَٱلْعُودِ ٱلنَّخِرِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
| لَا يَسْتَفِزُّهُ نُبْلُ ٱلْقَوْسِ. حِجَارَةُ ٱلْمِقْلَاعِ تَرْجِعُ عَنْهُ كَٱلْقَشِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
| يَحْسَبُ ٱلْمِقْمَعَةَ كَقَشٍّ، وَيَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱهْتِزَازِ ٱلرُّمْحِ. | ٢٩ 29 |
Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
| تَحْتَهُ قُطَعُ خَزَفٍ حَادَّةٌ. يُمَدِّدُ نَوْرَجًا عَلَى ٱلطِّينِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
| يَجْعَلُ ٱلْعُمْقَ يَغْلِي كَٱلْقِدْرِ، وَيَجْعَلُ ٱلْبَحْرَ كَقِدْرِ عِطَارَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
| يُضِيءُ ٱلسَّبِيلُ وَرَاءَهُ فَيُحْسَبُ ٱللُّجُّ أَشْيَبَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the deep [to be] hoary.
| لَيْسَ لَهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ نَظِيرٌ. صُنِعَ لِعَدَمِ ٱلْخَوْفِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
| يُشْرِفُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَالٍ. هُوَ مَلِكٌ عَلَى كُلِّ بَنِي ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءِ». | ٣٤ 34 |
He beholdeth all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the children of pride.
