أيُّوب 18
| فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ: | ١ 1 |
And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
| «مَتَى تَكُفُّ عَنْ تَرْدِيدِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ؟ تَعَقَّلْ ثُمَّ نَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢ 2 |
How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.
| لِمَاذَا تَعْتَبِرُنَا كَالْبَهِيمَةِ وَحَمْقَى فِي عَيْنَيْكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed stupid in your sight?
| يَا مَنْ تُمَزِّقُ نَفْسَكَ إِرْباً غَيْظاً، هَلْ تُهْجَرُ الأَرْضُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ أَمْ تَتَزَحْزَحُ الصَّخْرَةُ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهَا؟ | ٤ 4 |
Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
| أَجَلْ! إِنَّ نُورَ الأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ وَلَهِيبَ نَارِهِمْ لَا يُضِيءُ. | ٥ 5 |
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.
| يَتَحَوَّلُ النُّورُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَيَنْطَفِئُ سِرَاجُهُ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.
| تَقْصُرُ خَطْوَاتُهُ الْقَوِيَّةُ وَتَصْرَعُهُ تَدْبِيرَاتُهُ، | ٧ 7 |
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
| لأَنَّ قَدَمَيْهِ تُوْقِعَانِهِ فِي الشَّرَكِ وَتَطْرَحَانِهِ فِي حُفْرَةٍ، | ٨ 8 |
For he is sent into the net by his own feet, and he walketh on the meshes;
| يَقْبِضُ الْفَخُّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَالشَّرَكُ يَشُدُّ عَلَيْهِ، | ٩ 9 |
The gin taketh [him] by the heel, the snare layeth hold on him;
| حِبَالَتُهُ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْمِصْيَدَةُ كَامِنَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، | ١٠ 10 |
A cord is hidden for him in the ground, and his trap in the way.
| تُرْعِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ وَتُزَاحِمُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، | ١١ 11 |
Terrors make him afraid on every side, and chase him at his footsteps.
| قُوَّتُهُ يَلْتَهِمُهَا الْجُوعُ النَّهِمُ، وَالْكَوَارِثُ مُتَأَهِّبَةٌ تَتَرَصَّدُ كَبْوَتَهُ. | ١٢ 12 |
His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready at his side.
| يَفْتَرِسُ الدَّاءُ جِلْدَهُ وَيَلْتَهِمُ الْمَرَضُ الأَكَّالُ أَعْضَاءَهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
The firstborn of death devoureth the members of his body; it will devour his members.
| يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ خَيْمَتِهِ رُكْنِ اعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ الأَهْوَالِ. | ١٤ 14 |
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors:
| يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ غَرِيبٌ وَيُذَرُّ كِبْرِيتٌ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered upon his habitation:
| تَجِفُّ أُصُولُهُ تَحْتَهُ، وَتَتَبَعْثَرُ فُرُوعُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off;
| يَبِيدُ ذِكْرُهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلا يَبْقَى لَهُ اسْمٌ فِيهَا. | ١٧ 17 |
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds.
| يُطْرَدُ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلْمَةِ، وَيُنْفَى مِنَ الْمَسْكُونَةِ. | ١٨ 18 |
He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
| لَا يَكُونُ لَهُ نَسْلٌ، وَلا عَقِبٌ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، وَلا حَيٌّ فِي أَمَاكِنِ سُكْنَاهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn.
| يَرْتَعِبُ مِنْ مَصِيرِهِ أَهْلُ الْغَرْبِ، وَيَسْتَوْلِي الْفَزَعُ عَلَى أَبْنَاءِ الشَّرْقِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] were affrighted.
| حَقّاً تِلْكَ هِيَ مَسَاكِنُ الأَشْرَارِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ اللهَ!» | ٢١ 21 |
Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not God.
