أَيُّوبَ 5
| «اُدْعُ ٱلْآنَ. فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ وَإِلَى أَيِّ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ تَلْتَفِتُ؟ | ١ 1 |
“Call out if you please, but who will answer? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَيْظَ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ، وَٱلْغَيْرَةَ تُمِيتُ ٱلْأَحْمَقَ. | ٢ 2 |
For resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
| إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ يَتَأَصَّلُ وَبَغْتَةً لَعَنْتُ مَرْبِضَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.
| بَنُوهُ بَعِيدُونَ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْنِ، وَقَدْ تَحَطَّمُوا فِي ٱلْبَابِ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ. | ٤ 4 |
His sons are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.
| ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْجَوْعَانُ حَصِيدَهُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُهُ حَتَّى مِنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ، وَيَشْتَفُّ ٱلظَّمْآنُ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
| إِنَّ ٱلْبَلِيَّةَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَٱلشَّقَاوَةَ لَا تَنْبُتُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٦ 6 |
For distress does not spring from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
| وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَوْلُودٌ لِلْمَشَقَّةِ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَوَارِحَ لِٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلْجَنَاحِ. | ٧ 7 |
Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
| «لَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَعَلَى ٱللهِ أَجْعَلُ أَمْرِي. | ٨ 8 |
However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and lay my cause before Him—
| ٱلْفَاعِلِ عَظَائِمَ لَا تُفْحَصُ وَعَجَائِبَ لَا تُعَدُّ. | ٩ 9 |
the One who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.
| ٱلْمُنْزِلِ مَطَرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱلْمُرْسِلِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ عَلَى ٱلْبَرَارِيِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.
| ٱلْجَاعِلِ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ فِي ٱلْعُلَى، فَيَرْتَفِعُ ٱلْمَحْزُونُونَ إِلَى أَمْنٍ. | ١١ 11 |
He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.
| ٱلْمُبْطِلِ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْمُحْتَالِينَ، فَلَا تُجْرِي أَيْدِيهِمْ قَصْدًا. | ١٢ 12 |
He thwarts the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands find no success.
| ٱلْآخِذِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِحِيلَتِهِمْ، فَتَتَهَوَّرُ مَشُورَةُ ٱلْمَاكِرِينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
He catches the wise in their craftiness, and sweeps away the plans of the cunning.
| فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ يَصْدِمُونَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَتَلَمَّسُونَ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ كَمَا فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. | ١٤ 14 |
They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.
| ٱلْمُنَجِّيَ ٱلْبَائِسَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، مِنْ فَمِهِمْ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْقَوِيِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.
| فَيَكُونُ لِلذَّلِيلِ رَجَاءٌ وَتَسُدُّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ فَاهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
| «هُوَذَا طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ يُؤَدِّبُهُ ٱللهُ. فَلَا تَرْفُضْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَجْرَحُ وَيَعْصِبُ. يَسْحَقُ وَيَدَاهُ تَشْفِيَانِ. | ١٨ 18 |
For He wounds, but He also binds; He strikes, but His hands also heal.
| فِي سِتِّ شَدَائِدَ يُنَجِّيكَ، وَفِي سَبْعٍ لَا يَمَسُّكَ سُوءٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
He will rescue you from six calamities; no harm will touch you in seven.
| فِي ٱلْجُوعِ يَفْدِيكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَفِي ٱلْحَرْبِ مِنْ حَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
In famine He will redeem you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
| مِنْ سَوْطِ ٱللِّسَانِ تُخْتَبَأُ، فَلَا تَخَافُ مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ إِذَا جَاءَ. | ٢١ 21 |
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and will not fear havoc when it comes.
| تَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْخَرَابِ وَٱلْمَحْلِ، وَلَا تَخْشَى وُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the earth.
| لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْحَقْلِ عَهْدُكَ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تُسَالِمُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
| فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ خَيْمَتَكَ آمِنَةٌ، وَتَتَعَهَّدُ مَرْبِضَكَ وَلَا تَفْقِدُ شَيْئًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
You will know that your tent is secure, and find nothing amiss when inspecting your home.
| وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ زَرْعَكَ كَثِيرٌ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَعُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
You will know that your offspring will be many, your descendants like the grass of the earth.
| تَدْخُلُ ٱلْمَدْفَنَ فِي شَيْخُوخَةٍ، كَرَفْعِ ٱلْكُدْسِ فِي أَوَانِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
You will come to the grave in full vigor, like a sheaf of grain gathered in season.
| هَا إِنَّ ذَا قَدْ بَحَثْنَا عَنْهُ. كَذَا هُوَ. فَٱسْمَعْهُ وَٱعْلَمْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Indeed, we have investigated, and it is true! So hear it and know for yourself.”
