أيُّوب 20
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
| «إِنَّ خَوَاطِرِي، مِنْ جَرَّاءِ كَلامِكَ، تَحْفِزُنِي لِلْكَلامِ وَتُثِيرُنِي لِلرَّدِّ عَلَيْكَ. | ٢ 2 |
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
| سَمِعْتُ تَوْبِيخاً يُعَيِّرُنِي، وَأَجَابَنِي رُوحٌ مِنْ فِطْنَتِي. | ٣ 3 |
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, and the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
| أَمَا عَلِمْتَ هَذَا مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، مُنْذُ أَنْ خُلِقَ الإِنْسَانُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، | ٤ 4 |
Knowest thou [not] this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,
| أَنَّ طَرَبَ الشِّرِّيرِ إِلَى حِينٍ، وَأَنَّ فَرَحَ الْفَاجِرِ إِلَى لَحْظَةٍ؟ | ٥ 5 |
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?
| مَهْمَا بَلَغَتْ كِبْرِيَاؤُهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَسَّتْ هَامَتُهُ الْغَمَامَ، | ٦ 6 |
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
| فَإِنَّهُ سَيَبِيدُ كَبِرَازِهِ، فَيَتَسَاءَلُ الَّذِينَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ، مُنْدَهِشِينَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
| يَتَلاشَى كَحُلْمٍ وَلا يَبْقَى مِنْهُ أَثَرٌ، وَيَضْمَحِلُّ كَرُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ، | ٨ 8 |
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
| وَالْعَيْنُ الَّتِي أَبْصَرَتْهُ لَا تَعُودُ تَرَاهُ ثَانِيَةً، وَلا يُعَايِنُهُ مَكَانُهُ فِيمَا بَعْدُ. | ٩ 9 |
The eye which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
| يَسْتَجْدِي أَوْلادُهُ مِنَ الْفُقَرَاءِ، وَتَرُدُّ يَدَاهُ ثَرْوَتَهُ المَسْلُوبَةَ. | ١٠ 10 |
His children shall seek the favour of the poor, and his hands shall give back his wealth.
| حَيَوِيَّةُ عِظَامِهِ تُدْفَنُ فِي عِزِّ قُوَّتِهِ، | ١١ 11 |
His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.
| يَتَذَوَّقُ الشَّرَّ فَيَحْلُو فِي فَمِهِ، فَيُبْقِيهِ تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ، | ١٢ 12 |
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
| وَيَمْقُتُ أَنْ يَقْذِفَهُ، بَلْ يَدَّخِرُهُ فِي فَمِهِ! | ١٣ 13 |
Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;
| فَيَتَحَوَّلُ طَعَامُهُ فِي أَمْعَائِهِ إِلَى مَرَارَةٍ كَالسُّمُومِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
| وَيَتَقَيَّأُ مَا ابْتَلَعَهُ مِنْ أَمْوَالٍ، وَيَسْتَخْرِجُهَا اللهُ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
| لَقَدْ رَضَعَ سُمَّ الصِّلِّ، فَقَتَلَهُ لِسَانُ الأَفْعَى. | ١٦ 16 |
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
| لَنْ تَكْتَحِلَ عَيْنَاهُ بِمَرْأَى الأَنْهَارِ الْجَارِيَةِ، وَلا بِالْجَدَاوِلِ الْفَيَّاضَةِ بِالْعَسَلِ وَالزُّبْدِ. | ١٧ 17 |
He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
| يَرُدُّ ثِمَارَ تَعَبِهِ وَلا يَبْلَعُهُ وَلا يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِكَسْبِ تِجَارَتِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.
| لأَنَّهُ هَضَمَ حَقَّ الْفُقَرَاءِ وَخَذَلَهُمْ وَسَلَبَ بُيُوتاً لَمْ يَبْنِهَا. | ١٩ 19 |
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away an house, and he shall not build it up.
| وَإِذْ لَا يَعْرِفُ طَمَعُهُ قَنَاعَةً، فَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَدَّخِرَ شَيْئاً يَسْتَمْتِعُ بِهِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.
| لَمْ يُبْقِ نَهَمُهُ عَلَى شَيْءٍ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ يَدُومَ خَيْرُهُ. | ٢١ 21 |
There was nothing left that he devoured not; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
| فِي وَفْرَةِ سِعَتِهِ يُصِيبُهُ الضَّنْكُ، وَتَحُلُّ بِهِ أَقْسَى الْكَوَارِثِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا يَمْلأُ بَطْنَهُ يَنْفُثُ عَلَيْهِ اللهُ غَضَبَهُ الْحَارِقَ وَيُمْطِرُهُ عَلَيْهِ طَعَاماً لَهُ. | ٢٣ 23 |
When he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
| إِنْ فَرَّ مِنْ آلَةِ حَرْبٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، تَخْتَرِقْهُ قَوْسُ النُّحَاسِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of brass shall strike him through.
| اخْتَرَقَتْهُ عَمِيقاً وَخَرَجَتْ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ، وَنَفَذَ حَدُّهَا اللّامِعُ مِنْ مَرَارَتِهِ، وَحَلَّ بِهِ رُعْبٌ. | ٢٥ 25 |
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body: yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.
| كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ تَتَرَبَّصُ بِذَخَائِرِهِ، وَتَأْكُلُهُ نَارٌ لَمْ تُنْفَخْ، وَتَلْتَهِمُ مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ خَيْمَتِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
All darkness is laid up for his treasures: a fire not blown [by man] shall devour him; it shall consume that which is left in his tent.
| تَفْضَحُ السَّمَاوَاتُ إِثْمَهُ، وَتَتَمَرَّدُ الأَرْضُ عَلَيْهِ، | ٢٧ 27 |
The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
| تَفْنَى مُدَّخَرَاتُ بَيْتِهِ وَتحْتَرِقُ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The increase of his house shall depart, [his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
| هَذَا هُوَ الْمَصِيرُ الَّذِي يُعِدُّهُ اللهُ للأَشْرَارِ، وَالْمِيرَاثُ الَّذِي كَتَبَهُ اللهُ لَهُمْ». | ٢٩ 29 |
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
