أيُّوب 13
| هَذَا جَمِيعُهُ شَهِدَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ وَسَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ وَفَهِمَتْهُ، | ١ 1 |
Lo, my eye hath seen all [this], my ear hath heard and understood it.
| وَأَنَا أَعْرِفُ مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ أَيْضاً، إِذْ لَسْتُ أَقَلَّ مِنْكُمْ فِطْنَةً. | ٢ 2 |
What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior to you.
| وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَاطِبَ الْقَدِيرَ، وَأَوَدُّ أَنْ أُحَاجَّ اللهَ. | ٣ 3 |
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُنَافِقُونَ، وَكُلُّكُمْ أَطِبَّاءُ جَهَلَةٌ. | ٤ 4 |
But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value.
| لَيْتَكُمْ تَلْتَزِمُونَ الصَّمْتَ، فَيُحْسَبَ لَكُمْ ذَلِكَ حِكْمَةً. | ٥ 5 |
O that ye would altogether hold your peace and it would be your wisdom.
| أَنْصِتُوا الآنَ إِلَى حُجَّتِي وَأَصْغُوا إِلَى دَعْوَى شَفَتَيَّ | ٦ 6 |
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
| أَلإِرْضَاءِ اللهِ تَنْطِقُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَهَلْ مِنْ أَجْلِهِ تَتَفَوَّهُونَ بِالْبُهْتَانِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
| أَتُحَابُونَ اللهَ أَمْ تُدَافِعُونَ عَنْهُ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
| لَوْ فَحَصَكُمْ هَلْ يَجِدُ فِيكُمْ صَلاحاً؟ أَمْ تَخْدَعُونَهُ كَمَا تَخْدَعُونَ الْبَشَرَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him?
| إِنَّهُ حَتْماً يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمْ أَحَداً خُفْيَةً. | ١٠ 10 |
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
| أَوَلا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلالُهُ وَيَطْغَى عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Shall not his excellence make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
| أَقْوَالُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Your remembrances [are] like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
| اسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ، وَلْيَحُلَّ بِي مَا يَحُلُّ! | ١٣ 13 |
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will].
| لِمَاذَا أَنْهَشُ لَحْمِي بِأَسْنَانِي وَأَضَعُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي؟ | ١٤ 14 |
Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
| فَهَا هُوَ حَتْماً يَقْضِي عَلَيَّ وَلا أَمَلَ لِي. وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي أَبْسُطُ حُجَّتِي لأُزَكِّيَ طَرِيقِي أَمَامَهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
| لأَنَّ هَذَا سَبِيلُ خَلاصِي، إِذْ لَا يَمْثُلُ الْفَاجِرُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
He also [shall be] my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
| أَرْهِفُوا السَّمْعَ لأَقْوَالِي، وَلْتَحْتَفِظْ مَسَامِعُكُمْ بِكَلِمَاتِي، | ١٧ 17 |
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
| فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ إِعْدَادَ الدَّعْوَى، وَلابُدَّ أَنْ أَتَبَرَّرَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified.
| مَنِ الَّذِي يُحَاجُّنِي؟ عِنْدَئِذٍ أَصْمُتُ وَأَمُوتُ! | ١٩ 19 |
Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall expire.
| أَمْرَيْنِ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَهُمَا بِي، حَتَّى لَا أَخْتَفِيَ مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ: | ٢٠ 20 |
Only do not two [things] to me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
| ارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي وَلا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُفْزِعُنِي، | ٢١ 21 |
Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
| ثُمَّ ادْعُ فَأُلَبِّيَ، أَوْدَعْنِي أَتَكَلَّمُ وَأَنْتَ تُجِيبُنِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
| كَمْ هِيَ آثَامِي وَخَطَايَايَ؟ أَطْلِعْنِي عَلَى ذَنْبِي وَمَعْصِيَتِي. | ٢٣ 23 |
How many [are] my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
| لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ وَتُعَامِلُنِي مِثْلَ عَدُوٍّ لَكَ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy?
| أَتُفْزِعُ وَرَقَةً مُتَطَايِرَةً وَتُطَارِدُ قَشّاً يَابِساً؟ | ٢٥ 25 |
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
| فَأَنْتَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيَّ أُمُوراً مُرَّةً، وَأَوْرَثْتَنِي آثَامَ صِبَايَ. | ٢٦ 26 |
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
| أَدْخَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي الْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَرَاقَبْتَ جَمِيعَ سُبُلِي، إِذْ خَطَّطْتَ عَلامَاتٍ عَلَى بَاطِنِ قَدَمَيَّ، | ٢٧ 27 |
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly to all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
| فَأَنَا كَشَجَرَةٍ نَخَرَهَا السُّوسُ وَكَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ الْعُثُّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
