< أيُّوب 18 >

فَقَالَ بِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ: ١ 1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
«مَتَى تَكُفُّ عَنْ تَرْدِيدِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ؟ تَعَقَّلْ ثُمَّ نَتَكَلَّمُ. ٢ 2
How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
لِمَاذَا تَعْتَبِرُنَا كَالْبَهِيمَةِ وَحَمْقَى فِي عَيْنَيْكَ؟ ٣ 3
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull 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? Or 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 spark of his fire shall not shine.
يَتَحَوَّلُ النُّورُ إِلَى ظُلْمَةٍ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَيَنْطَفِئُ سِرَاجُهُ عَلَيْهِ. ٦ 6
The light shall be 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 cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.
يَقْبِضُ الْفَخُّ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ وَالشَّرَكُ يَشُدُّ عَلَيْهِ، ٩ 9
A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.
حِبَالَتُهُ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، وَالْمِصْيَدَةُ كَامِنَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ، ١٠ 10
A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
تُرْعِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ وَتُزَاحِمُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ، ١١ 11
Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.
قُوَّتُهُ يَلْتَهِمُهَا الْجُوعُ النَّهِمُ، وَالْكَوَارِثُ مُتَأَهِّبَةٌ تَتَرَصَّدُ كَبْوَتَهُ. ١٢ 12
His trouble shall be ravenous, and calamity shall be ready for his fall.
يَفْتَرِسُ الدَّاءُ جِلْدَهُ وَيَلْتَهِمُ الْمَرَضُ الأَكَّالُ أَعْضَاءَهُ. ١٣ 13
It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.
يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ خَيْمَتِهِ رُكْنِ اعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ أَمَامَ مَلِكِ الأَهْوَالِ. ١٤ 14
That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ غَرِيبٌ وَيُذَرُّ كِبْرِيتٌ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ. ١٥ 15
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
تَجِفُّ أُصُولُهُ تَحْتَهُ، وَتَتَبَعْثَرُ فُرُوعُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ. ١٦ 16
His roots shall dry up beneath, and above shall his branch wither.
يَبِيدُ ذِكْرُهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، وَلا يَبْقَى لَهُ اسْمٌ فِيهَا. ١٧ 17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name abroad.
يُطْرَدُ مِنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلْمَةِ، وَيُنْفَى مِنَ الْمَسْكُونَةِ. ١٨ 18
He shall be 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 shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
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 are affrighted.
حَقّاً تِلْكَ هِيَ مَسَاكِنُ الأَشْرَارِ، وَهَذَا هُوَ مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ اللهَ!» ٢١ 21
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
