< أيُّوب 24 >
لِمَاذَا إِذاً لَمْ يُحَدِّدِ الْقَدِيرُ أَزْمِنَةَ الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، وَلِمَاذَا لَا يَرَى مُتَّقُوهُ يَوْمَهُ؟ | ١ 1 |
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
يَنْقُلُ النَّاسُ التُّخُومَ، وَيَغْتَصِبُونَ الْقُطْعَانَ وَيَرْعَوْنَهَا. | ٢ 2 |
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
يَأْخُذُونَ حِمَارَ الأَيْتَامِ وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ ثَوْرَ الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
يَصُدُّونَ الْمَسَاكِينَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَيَخْتَبِئُ فُقَرَاءُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً. | ٤ 4 |
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
انْظُرُوا فَهَا هُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى عَمَلِهِمْ كَالْحِمَارِ الْوَحْشِيِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ يَطْلُبُونَ فِي الْقَفْرِ صَيْداً، لِيَكُونَ طَعَاماً لأَبْنَائِهِمْ، | ٥ 5 |
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
يَجْمَعُونَ عَلَفَهُمْ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ وَيَقْطُفُونَ كَرْمَ الشِّرِّيرِ. | ٦ 6 |
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
يَرْقُدُونَ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عُرَاةً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَسْوَةٍ تَقِيهِمْ قَسْوَةَ الْبَرْدِ. | ٧ 7 |
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
يَبْتَلُّونَ مِنْ مَطَرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْكَنُونَ إِلَى الصَّخْرِ لاِفْتِقَارِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَأْوَى. | ٨ 8 |
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
يَخْطِفُونَ الْيَتَامَى عَنِ الثُّدِيِّ، وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ طِفْلَ الْمِسْكِينِ، | ٩ 9 |
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
يَطُوفُونَ عُرَاةً بِلا كِسَاءٍ، جِيَاعاً حَامِلِينَ الْحُزَمَ. | ١٠ 10 |
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
يَعْصِرُونَ الزَّيْتَ بَيْنَ أَتْلامِ زَيْتُونِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَيَدُوسُونَ مَعَاصِرَ الْخَمْرِ وَهُمْ عِطَاشٌ. | ١١ 11 |
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
يَرْتَفِعُ مِنَ الْمُدُنِ أَنِينُ الْمُشْرِفِينَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَتَسْتَغِيثُ نُفُوسُ الْجَرْحَى، وَاللهُ لَا يُصْغِي إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
هُنَاكَ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِيِنَ عَلَى النُّورِ، فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طُرُقَهَ، وَلَمْ يَمْكُثُوا فِي سُبُلِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
عِنْدَ مَطْلَعِ النُّورِ يَنْهَضُ الْقَاتِلُ وَيُهْلِكُ الْبَائِسَ وَالْمُحْتَاجَ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَغْدُو لِصّاً. | ١٤ 14 |
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
يَنْتَظِرُ الزَّانِي حُلُولَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَيَتَقَنَّعُ قَائِلاً: لَنْ تُبْصِرَنِي عَيْنٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
يَنْقُبُونَ البُيُوتَ لَيْلاً، وَفِي النَّهَارِ يُغْلِقُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَلا يَعْرِفُونَ النُّورَ، | ١٦ 16 |
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
لأَنَّ الصَّبَاحَ عِنْدَهُمْ كَظِلِّ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَهْوَالُ الظُّلْمَةِ هِيَ رِفْقَتُهُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
يَنْجَرِفُونَ لِخِفَّتِهِمْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ، وَنَصِيبُهُمْ مَلْعُونٌ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَ كُرُومِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
وَكَمَا أَنَّ الْقَحْطَ وَالْقَيْظَ يَذْهَبَانِ بِمِيَاهِ الثَّلْجِ، كَذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ الْهَاوِيَةُ بِالْخَاطِئِ، (Sheol ) | ١٩ 19 |
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol )
تَنْسَاهُ الرَّحِمُ وَيَسْتَطِيبُهُ الدُّودُ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَذْكُرُ الأَشْرَارَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَشَجَرَةٍ مُقْتَلَعَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
يُسِيئُونَ إِلَى الْعَاقِرِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ، وَلا يُحْسِنُونَ إِلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
اللهُ فِي جَلالِهِ يُدَمِّرُ الْقَوِيَّ وَيُمِيتُهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
يَمْنَحُهُمْ طُمَأْنِينَةً تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ، لَكِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ تُرَاقِبانِ طُرُقَهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
تَشَامَخُوا لِلَحْظَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلاشَوْا، انْحَطُّوا وَجُمِعُوا كَالأَشْيَاءِ الأُخْرَى، بَلْ حُصِدُوا كَرُؤُوسِ السَّنَابِلِ؛ | ٢٤ 24 |
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
وَإلَّا، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَيَجْعَلَ كَلامِي كَالْعَدَمِ؟» | ٢٥ 25 |
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
