أيُّوب 17
| تَلِفَتْ رُوحِي وَانْطَفَأَتْ أَيَّامِي، وَالْقَبْرُ مُعَدٌّ لِي. | ١ 1 |
My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
| الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يُحَاصِرُونَنِي، الَّذِينَ تَشْهَدُ عَيْنِي مُشَاجَرَاتِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.
| كُنْ لِي ضَامِناً عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ، إِذْ مَنْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَفِيلِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
| فَأَنْتَ حَجَبْتَ الْفِطْنَةَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تُظْفِرَهُمْ، | ٤ 4 |
You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.
| وَلْتَتْلَفْ عُيُونُ أَبْنَاءِ مَنْ يَشِي بِأَصْحَابِهِ طَمَعاً فِي أَمْلاكِهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
| لَقَدْ جَعَلَنِي مَثَلاً لِلأُمَمِ، وَصَارَ وَجْهِي مَبْصَقَةً. | ٦ 6 |
He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.
| كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ حُزْناً وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَعْضَائِي كَالظِّلِّ، | ٧ 7 |
My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.
| فَزِعَ الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَثَارَ الْبَرِيءُ عَلَى الْفَاجِرِ، | ٨ 8 |
The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.
| أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِطَرِيقِهِ، وَيَزْدَادُ الطَّاهِرُ الْيَدَيْنِ قُوَّةً. | ٩ 9 |
Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
| وَلَكِنِ ارْجِعُوا جَمِيعُكُمْ، تَعَالَوْا كُلُّكُمْ، فَلا أَجِدُ فِيكُمْ حَكِيماً. | ١٠ 10 |
But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.
| قَدْ عَبَرَتْ أَيَّامِي، وَتَمَزَّقَتْ مَآرِبِي الَّتِي هِيَ رَغْبَاتُ قَلْبِي. | ١١ 11 |
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
| يَجْعَلُونَ اللَّيْلَ نَهَاراً، وَعَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ يَقُولُونَ:’إِنَّ النُّورَ قَرِيبٌ!‘ | ١٢ 12 |
They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark.
| إِذَا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ تَكوُنَ الْهَاوِيَةُ مَقَرّاً لِي، وَمَهَّدْتُ فِي الظَّلامِ فِرَاشِي، (Sheol h7585) | ١٣ 13 |
If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark; (Sheol h7585)
| وَإِنْ قُلْتُ لِلْقَبْرِ أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلدُّودِ أَنْتَ أُمِّي أَوْ أُخْتِي، | ١٤ 14 |
If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;
| فَأَيْنَ إِذاً آمَالِي؟ وَمَنْ يُعَايِنُ رَجَائِي؟ | ١٥ 15 |
Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire?
