أيُّوب 12
| فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ 1 |
And Job answered and said,
| «صَحِيحٌ إِنَّكُمْ شَعْبٌ تَمُوتُ مَعَكُمُ الْحِكْمَةُ! | ٢ 2 |
No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
| إِلّا أَنِّي ذُو فَهْمٍ مِثْلَكُمْ، وَلَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ مَعْرِفَةً، وَمَنْ هُوَ غَيْرُ مُلِمٍّ بِهَذِهِ الأُمُورِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
| لَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ مَثَارَ هُزْءٍ لأَصْدِقَائِي، أَنَا الَّذِي دَعَا اللهَ فَاسْتَجَابَ لِي. أَنَا الرَّجُلُ الْبَارُّ الْكَامِلُ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ! | ٤ 4 |
I am [as] one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright [man is] laughed to scorn.
| يُضْمِرُ الْمُطْمَئِنُّ شَرّاً لِلْبَائِسِ الَّذِي تَزِلُّ بِهِ الْقَدَمُ، | ٥ 5 |
He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
| بَيْنَمَا يَسُودُ السَّلامُ عَلَى اللُّصُوصِ، وَتُهَيْمِنُ الطُّمأْنِينَةُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ أَصْنَاماً يَحْمِلُونَهَا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly].
| وَلَكِنِ اسْأَلِ البَهَائِمَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ، وَطُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُخْبِرَكَ، | ٧ 7 |
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
| أَوْ خَاطِبِ الأَرْضَ فَتُعَرِّفَكَ وَسَمَكَ الْبَحْرِ فَيُنْبِئَكَ، | ٨ 8 |
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
| أَيٌّ مِنْهَا لَا يَعْلَمُ أَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ صَنَعَتْ هَذَا؟ | ٩ 9 |
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
| فَفِي يَدِهِ نَفَسُ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَرُوحُ كُلِّ بَشَرٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
| أَلَيْسَتِ الأُذُنُ تَمْتَحِنُ الْكَلامَ كَمَا يَتَذَوَّقُ اللِّسَانُ الطَّعَامَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
| الْحِكْمَةُ تُلازِمُ الشَّيْخُوخَةَ، وفِي طُولِ الأَيَّامِ فَهْمٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
| الْحِكْمَةُ وَالْقُوَّةُ للهِ، وَلَهُ الْمَشُورَةُ وَالْفَهْمُ. | ١٣ 13 |
With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
| وَمَا يَهْدِمُهُ لَا يُبْنَى، وَالْمَرْءُ الَّذِي يَأْسِرُهُ اللهُ لَا يُحَرِّرُهُ إِنْسَانٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
| إِنْ حَبَسَ الْمِيَاهَ تَجِفُّ الأَرْضُ، وَإِنْ أَطْلَقَهَا تُغْرِقُهَا. | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
| لَهُ الْعِزَّةُ وَالْحِكْمَةُ. فِي يَدِهِ الْمُضِلُّ وَالْمُضَلُّ. | ١٦ 16 |
With him [is] strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver [are] his.
| يَأْسِرُ الْمُشِيرِينَ، وَيُحَمِّقُ فِطْنَةَ الْقُضَاةِ، | ١٧ 17 |
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
| يَفُكُّ مَنَاطِقَ الْمُلُوكِ وَيَشُدُّ أَحْقَاءَهُمْ بِوِثَاقٍ، | ١٨ 18 |
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
| يَأْسِرُ الْكَهَنَةَ وَيُطِيحُ بِالأَقْوِيَاءِ، | ١٩ 19 |
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
| يَحْرِمُ الأُمَنَاءَ مِنَ الْكَلامِ وَيُبْطِلُ فِطْنَةَ الشُّيُوخِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
| يُصِيبُ الشُّرَفَاءَ بِالْهَوَانِ، وَيُرْخِي مِنْطَقَةَ الْقَوِيِّ، | ٢١ 21 |
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
| يَكْشِفُ الأَغْوَارَ فِي الظَّلامِ، وَيُبْرِزُ الظُّلُمَاتِ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةَ إِلَى النُّورِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
| يُعَظِّمُ الأُمَمَ ثُمَّ يُبِيدُهَا، وَيُوَسِّعُ تُخُومَهَا ثُمَّ يُشَتِّتُهَا، | ٢٣ 23 |
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them [again].
| يَنْزِعُ الْفَهْمَ مِنْ عُقُولِ رُؤَسَاءِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ، ثُمَّ يُضِلُّهُمْ فِي قَفْرٍ بِلا طَرِيقٍ، | ٢٤ 24 |
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way.
| فَيَتَحَسَّسُونَ سَبِيلَهُمْ فِي الظَّلامِ وَلَيْسَ نُورٌ، وَيُرَنِّحُهُمْ كَالسُّكَارَى. | ٢٥ 25 |
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like [a] drunken [man].
