أَيُّوبَ 9
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Iob answered, and sayd,
| «صَحِيحٌ. قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ كَذَا، فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ؟ | ٢ 2 |
I knowe verily that it is so: for howe should man compared vnto God, be iustified?
| إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُحَاجَّهُ، لَا يُجِيبُهُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَلْفٍ. | ٣ 3 |
If I would dispute with him, hee could not answere him one thing of a thousand.
| هُوَ حَكِيمُ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَشَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ. مَنْ تَصَلَّبَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَلِمَ؟ | ٤ 4 |
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath bene fierce against him and hath prospered?
| ٱلْمُزَحْزِحُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَلَا تَعْلَمُ، ٱلَّذِي يَقْلِبُهَا فِي غَضَبِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
He remoueth the mountaines, and they feele not when he ouerthroweth them in his wrath.
| ٱلْمُزَعْزِعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَقَرِّهَا، فَتَتَزَلْزَلُ أَعْمِدَتُهَا. | ٦ 6 |
Hee remooueth the earth out of her place, that the pillars thereof doe shake.
| ٱلْآمِرُ ٱلشَّمْسَ فَلَا تُشْرِقُ، وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى ٱلنُّجُومِ. | ٧ 7 |
He commandeth the sunne, and it riseth not: hee closeth vp the starres, as vnder a signet.
| ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدَهُ، وَٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَعَالِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٨ 8 |
Hee himselfe alone spreadeth out the heauens, and walketh vpon the height of the sea.
| صَانِعُ ٱلنَّعْشِ وَٱلْجَبَّارِ وَٱلثُّرَيَّا وَمَخَادِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. | ٩ 9 |
He maketh the starres Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the climates of the South.
| فَاعِلُ عَظَائِمَ لَا تُفْحَصُ، وَعَجَائِبَ لَا تُعَدُّ. | ١٠ 10 |
He doeth great things, and vnsearcheable: yea, marueilous things without nomber.
| «هُوَذَا يَمُرُّ عَلَيَّ وَلَا أَرَاهُ، وَيَجْتَازُ فَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Lo, when he goeth by me, I see him not: and when he passeth by, I perceiue him not.
| إِذَا خَطَفَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ وَمَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, when he taketh a pray, who can make him to restore it? who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?
| ٱللهُ لَا يَرُدُّ غَضَبَهُ. يَنْحَنِي تَحْتَهُ أَعْوَانُ رَهَبَ. | ١٣ 13 |
God will not withdrawe his anger, and the most mightie helpes doe stoupe vnder him.
| كَمْ بِٱلْأَقَلِّ أَنَا أُجَاوِبُهُ وَأَخْتَارُ كَلَامِي مَعَهُ؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Howe much lesse shall I answere him? or howe should I finde out my words with him?
| لِأَنِّي وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أُجَاوِبُ، بَلْ أَسْتَرْحِمُ دَيَّانِي. | ١٥ 15 |
For though I were iust, yet could I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.
| لَوْ دَعَوْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي، لَمَا آمَنْتُ بِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتِي. | ١٦ 16 |
If I cry, and he answere me, yet woulde I not beleeue, that he heard my voyce.
| ذَاكَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْحَقُنِي بِٱلْعَاصِفَةِ، وَيُكْثِرُ جُرُوحِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. | ١٧ 17 |
For he destroyeth mee with a tempest, and woundeth me without cause.
| لَا يَدَعُنِي آخُذُ نَفَسِي، وَلَكِنْ يُشْبِعُنِي مَرَائِرَ. | ١٨ 18 |
He wil not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
| إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ جِهَةِ قُوَّةِ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، يَقُولُ: هَأَنَذَا. وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْقَضَاءِ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ | ١٩ 19 |
If we speake of strength, behold, he is strog: if we speake of iudgement, who shall bring me in to pleade?
| إِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيَّ فَمِي، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ كَامِلًا يَسْتَذْنِبُنِي. | ٢٠ 20 |
If I woulde iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne mee: if I would be perfite, he shall iudge me wicked.
| «كَامِلٌ أَنَا. لَا أُبَالِي بِنَفْسِي. رَذَلْتُ حَيَاتِي. | ٢١ 21 |
Though I were perfite, yet I knowe not my soule: therefore abhorre I my life.
| هِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ. لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: إِنَّ ٱلْكَامِلَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ هُوَ يُفْنِيهِمَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
This is one point: therefore I said, Hee destroyeth the perfite and the wicked.
| إِذَا قَتَلَ ٱلسَّوْطُ بَغْتَةً، يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِتَجْرِبَةِ ٱلْأَبْرِيَاءِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
If the scourge should suddenly slay, should God laugh at the punishment of the innocent?
| ٱلْأَرْضُ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لِيَدِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. يُغَشِّي وُجُوهَ قُضَاتِهَا. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ، فَإِذًا مَنْ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
The earth is giuen into the hand of ye wicked: he couereth the faces of the iudges therof: if not, where is he? or who is he?
| أَيَّامِي أَسْرَعُ مِنْ عَدَّاءٍ، تَفِرُّ وَلَا تَرَى خَيْرًا. | ٢٥ 25 |
My dayes haue bene more swift then a post: they haue fled, and haue seene no good thing.
| تَمُرُّ مَعَ سُفُنِ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ. كَنَسْرٍ يَنْقَضُّ إِلَى قَنَصِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
They are passed as with the most swift ships, and as the eagle that flyeth to the pray.
| إِنْ قُلْتُ: أَنْسَى كُرْبَتِي، أُطْلِقُ وَجْهِي وَأَتَبَلَّجُ، | ٢٧ 27 |
If I say, I wil forget my complaynt, I will cease from my wrath, and comfort mee,
| أَخَافُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَوْجَاعِي عَالِمًا أَنَّكَ لَا تُبَرِّئُنِي. | ٢٨ 28 |
Then I am afrayd of all my sorowes, knowing that thou wilt not iudge me innocent.
| أَنَا مُسْتَذْنَبٌ، فَلِمَاذَا أَتْعَبُ عَبَثًا؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
If I be wicked, why labour I thus in vaine?
| وَلَوِ ٱغْتَسَلْتُ فِي ٱلثَّلْجِ، وَنَظَّفْتُ يَدَيَّ بِٱلْإِشْنَانِ، | ٣٠ 30 |
If I wash my selfe with snowe water, and purge mine hands most cleane,
| فَإِنَّكَ فِي ٱلنَّقْعِ تَغْمِسُنِي حَتَّى تَكْرَهَنِي ثِيَابِي. | ٣١ 31 |
Yet shalt thou plunge mee in the pit, and mine owne clothes shall make me filthie.
| لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُوَ إِنْسَانًا مِثْلِي فَأُجَاوِبَهُ، فَنَأْتِي جَمِيعًا إِلَى ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ. | ٣٢ 32 |
For he is not a man as I am, that I shoulde answere him, if we come together to iudgement.
| لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا مُصَالِحٌ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى كِلَيْنَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
Neyther is there any vmpire that might lay his hand vpon vs both.
| لِيَرْفَعْ عَنِّي عَصَاهُ وَلَا يَبْغَتْنِي رُعْبُهُ. | ٣٤ 34 |
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his feare astonish me:
| إِذًا أَتَكَلَّمُ وَلَا أَخَافُهُ، لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ هَكَذَا عِنْدَ نَفْسِي. | ٣٥ 35 |
Then will I speake, and feare him not: but because I am not so, I holde me still.
