أيُّوب 16
| فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ 1 |
Then Job answered:
| «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَثِيراً مِثْلَ هَذَا الْكَلامِ وَأَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ مُعَزُّونَ مُتْعِبُونَ. | ٢ 2 |
“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
| أَمَا لِهَذَا اللَّغْوِ مِنْ نِهَايَةٍ؟ وَمَا الَّذِي يُثِيرُكَ حَتَّى تَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
| فِي وُسْعِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مِثْلَكُمْ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَكَانِي، وَأُلْقِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْوَالَ مَلامَةٍ، وَأَهُزَّ رَأْسِي فِي وُجُوهِكُمْ، | ٤ 4 |
I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
| بَلْ كُنْتُ أُشَجِّعُكُمْ بِنَصَائِحِي، وَأُشَدِّدُكُمْ بِتَعْزِيَاتِي. | ٥ 5 |
But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
| إِنْ تَكَلَّمْتُ لَا تُمْحَى كَآبَتِي، وَإِنْ صَمَتُّ، فَمَاذَا يُخَفِّفُ الصَّمْتُ عَنِّي؟ | ٦ 6 |
Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
| إِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ مَزَّقَنِي حَقّاً وَأَهْلَكَ كُلَّ قَوْمِي. | ٧ 7 |
Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
| لَقَدْ كَبَّلْتَنِي فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ شَاهِداً عَلَيَّ، وَقَامَ هُزَالِي لِيَشْهَدَ ضِدِّي. | ٨ 8 |
You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
| مَزَّقَنِي غَضَبُهُ، وَاضْطَهَدَنِي. حَرَّقَ عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُ. طَعَنَنِي عَدُوِّي بِنَظْرَاتِهِ الْحَادَّةِ. | ٩ 9 |
His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
| فَغَرَ النَّاسُ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ عَلَيَّ، لَطَمُونِي تَعْيِيراً عَلَى خَدِّي، وَتَضَافَرُوا عَلَيَّ جَمِيعاً. | ١٠ 10 |
They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
| أَسْلَمَنِي اللهُ إِلَى الظَّالِمِ، وَطَرَحَنِي فِي يَدِ الأَشْرَارِ. | ١١ 11 |
God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
| كُنْتُ مُطْمَئِنّاً مُسْتَقِرّاً، فَزَعْزَعَنِي الرَّبُّ وَقَبَضَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ عُنُقِي، وَحَطَّمَنِي وَنَصَبَنِي لَهُ هَدَفاً. | ١٢ 12 |
I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
| حَاصَرَنِي رُمَاتُهُ وَشَقَّ كُلْيَتَيَّ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَحْمَةٍ، أَهْرَقَ مَرَارَتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ١٣ 13 |
His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
| اقْتَحَمَنِي مَرَّةً تِلْوَ مَرَّةٍ، وَهَاجَمَنِي كَجَبَّارٍ. | ١٤ 14 |
He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
| خِطْتُ مِسْحاً عَلَى جِلْدِي، وَمَرَّغْتُ عِزِّي فِي التُّرَابِ. | ١٥ 15 |
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
| احْمَرَّ وَجْهِي مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ، وَغَشِيَتْ ظِلالُ الْمَوْتِ أَهْدَابِي، | ١٦ 16 |
My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
| مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَمْ أَقْتَرِفْ ظُلْماً، وَصَلاتِي مُخْلِصَةٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
| يَا أَرْضُ لَا تَسْتُرِي دَمِي، وَلا يَكُنْ لِصُرَاخِي قَرَارٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
| هُوَذَا الآنَ شَاهِدِي فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَكَفِيلِي فِي الأَعَالِي | ١٩ 19 |
Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
| أَمَّا أَصْحَابِي فَهُمُ السَّاخِرُونَ بِي، لِذَلِكَ تَفِيضُ دُمُوعِي أَمَامَ اللهِ، | ٢٠ 20 |
My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
| لَكَمْ أَحْتَاجُ لِمَنْ يُدَافِعُ عَنِّي أَمَامَ اللهِ، كَمَا يُدَافِعُ إِنْسَانٌ عَنْ صَدِيقِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
| إِذْ مَا إِنْ تَنْقَضِي سَنَوَاتُ عُمْرِي الْقَلِيلَةُ حَتَّى أَمْضِيَ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَا أَعُودُ مِنْهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
