< أيُّوب 21 >

أَيُّوبُ: ١ 1
Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,
«اسْتَمِعُوا سَمْعاً إِلَى أَقْوَالِي، وَلْتَكُنْ لِي هَذِهِ تَعْزِيَةً مِنْكُمْ. ٢ 2
Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.
احْتَمِلُونِي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ اسْخَرُوا مِنِّي. ٣ 3
Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.
هَلْ شَكْوَايَ هِيَ ضِدُّ إِنْسَانٍ؟ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ، فَلِمَاذَا لَا أَكُونُ ضَيِّقَ الْخُلُقِ؟ ٤ 4
Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?
تَفَرَّسُوا فِيَّ وَانْدَهِشُوا، وَضَعُوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِكُمْ. ٥ 5
Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
عِنْدَمَا أُفَكِّرُ فِي الأَمْرِ أَرْتَاعُ، وَتَعْتَرِي جَسَدِي رِعْدَةٌ. ٦ 6
Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.
لِمَاذَا يَحْيَا الأَشْرَارُ وَيَطْعَنُونَ فِي السِّنِّ وَيَزْدَادُونَ قُوَّةً؟ ٧ 7
Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?
ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ تَتَأَصَّلُ أَمَامَهُمْ، وَنَسْلُهُمْ يَتَكَاثَرُونَ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِمْ. ٨ 8
Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.
بُيُوتُهُمْ آمِنَةٌ مِنَ الْمَخَاوِفِ، وَعَصَا اللهِ لَا تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ. ٩ 9
Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.
ثَوْرُهُمْ يُلْقِحُ وَلا يُخْفِقُ، وَبَقَرَتُهُمْ تَلِدُ وَلا تُسْقِطُ. ١٠ 10
Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
يُسْرِحُونَ صِبْيَانَهُمْ كَسِرْبٍ، وَأَطْفَالُهُمْ يَرْقُصُونَ. ١١ 11
They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.
يُغَنُّونَ بِالدُّفِّ وَالْعُودِ وَيَطْرَبُونَ لِصَوْتِ الْمِزْمَارِ، ١٢ 12
They take the tabret and harpe, and reioyce in the sound of the organs.
يَقْضُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ فِي الرَّغْدِ، ثُمَّ فِي لَحْظَةٍ يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ. (Sheol h7585) ١٣ 13
They spend their dayes in wealth, and suddenly they go downe to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
يَقُولُونَ لِلرَّبِّ: فَارِقْنَا فَإِنَّنَا لَا نَعْبَأُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِكَ. ١٤ 14
They say also vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
مَنْ هُوَ الْقَدِيرُ حَتَّى نَعْبُدَهُ؟ وَأَيُّ كَسْبٍ نَجْنِيهِ إِنْ صَلَّيْنَا إِلَيْهِ؟ ١٥ 15
Who is the Almightie, that we should serue him? and what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?
وَلَكِنَّ فَلاحَهُمْ لَيْسَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ، لِذَلِكَ تَظَلُّ مَشُورَةُ الأَشْرَارِ بَعِيدَةً عَنِّي. ١٦ 16
Lo, their wealth is not in their hand: therfore let the counsell of the wicked bee farre from me.
كَمْ مَرَّةٍ يَنْطَفِئُ مِصْبَاحُ الأَشْرَارِ؟ وَكَمْ مَرَّةٍ تَتَوَالَى عَلَيْهِمِ النَّكَبَاتُ، إِذْ يَقْسِمُ اللهُ لَهُمْ نَصِيباً فِي غَضَبِهِ؟ ١٧ 17
How oft shall the candle of the wicked be put out? and their destruction come vpon them? he wil deuide their liues in his wrath.
يُصْبِحُونَ كَالتِّبْنِ فِي وَجْهِ الرِّيحِ، وَكَالْعُصَافَةِ الَّتِي تُطَوِّحُ بِها الزَّوْبَعَةُ. ١٨ 18
They shall be as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ: إِنَّ اللهَ يَدَّخِرُ إِثْمَ الشِّرِّيرِ لأَبْنَائِهِ، لا! إِنَّهُ يُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ بِالأَثِيمِ نَفْسِهِ، فَيَعْلَمُ. ١٩ 19
God wil lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: when he rewardeth him, hee shall knowe it.
فَلْيَشْهَدْ هَلاكَهُ بِعَيْنَيْهِ، وَلْيَجْرَعْ غُصَصَ غَضَبِ الْقَدِيرِ. ٢٠ 20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
إِذْ مَا بُغْيَتُهُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بَعْدَ فَنَائِهِ، وَقَدْ بُتِرَ عَدَدُ شُهُورِ حَيَاتِهِ؟ ٢١ 21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the nomber of his moneths is cut off?
أَهُنَاكَ مَنْ يُلَقِّنُ اللهَ عِلْماً، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَدِينُ الْمُتَشَامِخِينَ؟ ٢٢ 22
Shall any teache God knowledge, who iudgeth the highest things?
قَدْ يَمُوتُ الْمَرْءُ فِي وَفْرَةِ رَغْدِهِ، وَهُوَ يَنْعَمُ بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَالطُّمَأْنِينَةِ، ٢٣ 23
One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie.
وَالْعَافِيَةُ تَكْسُو جَنْبَيْهِ، وَمُخُّ عِظَامِهِ طَرِيٌّ. ٢٤ 24
His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.
وَقَدْ يَمُوتُ آخَرُ بِمَرَارَةِ نَفْسٍ وَلَمْ يَذُقْ خَيْراً ٢٥ 25
And another dieth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ كِلَيْهِمَا يُوَارِيهُمَا التُّرَابُ وَيَغْشَاهُمَا الدُّودُ. ٢٦ 26
They shall sleepe both in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
انْظُرُوا، أَنَا مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَى أَفْكَارِكُمْ وَمَا تَتَّهِمُونَنِي بِهِ جَوْراً، ٢٧ 27
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises, wherewith ye do me wrong.
لأَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ مَنْزِلُ الرَّجُلِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَأَيْنَ هِيَ خِيَامُ الأَشْرَارِ الْمُقِيمِينَ فِيهَا؟ ٢٨ 28
For ye say, Where is the princes house? and where is the tabernacle of the wickeds dwelling?
هَلّا سَأَلْتُمْ عَابِرِي السَّبِيلِ؟ أَلا تَكْتَرِثُونَ لِشَهَادَتِهِمْ؟ ٢٩ 29
May ye not aske the that go by the way? and ye can not deny their signes.
إِنَّ الشِّرِّيرَ قَدْ أَفْلَتَ مِن يَوْمِ الْبَوَارِ، وَنَجَا مِنَ الْعِقَابِ فِي يَوْمِ الْغَضَبِ. ٣٠ 30
But the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
فَمَنْ يُوَاجِهُهُ بِسُوءِ أَعْمَالِهِ، وَمَنْ يَدِينُهُ عَلَى رَدَاءَةِ تَصَرُّفَاتِهِ؟ ٣١ 31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall reward him for that he hath done?
عِنْدَمَا يُوَارَى فِي قَبْرِهِ يَقُومُ حَارِسٌ عَلَى ضَرِيحِهِ. ٣٢ 32
Yet shall he be brought to the graue, and remaine in the heape.
تَطِيبُ لَهُ تُرْبَةُ الْوَادِي، وَيَمْشِي خَلْفَهُ جُمْهُورٌ غَفِيرٌ، وَالَّذِينَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَهُ لَا يُحْصَى لَهُمْ عَدَدٌ. ٣٣ 33
The slimie valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.
فَكَيْفَ، بَعْدَ هَذَا، تُعَزُّونَنِي بِلَغْوِ الْكَلامِ؟ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ أَجْوِبَتِكُمْ إِلّا كُلُّ مَا هُوَ بَاطِلٌ». ٣٤ 34
How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaine but lyes?
