أيُّوب 24
| لِمَاذَا إِذاً لَمْ يُحَدِّدِ الْقَدِيرُ أَزْمِنَةَ الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، وَلِمَاذَا لَا يَرَى مُتَّقُوهُ يَوْمَهُ؟ | ١ 1 |
Why, seeing times are not hid from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
| يَنْقُلُ النَّاسُ التُّخُومَ، وَيَغْتَصِبُونَ الْقُطْعَانَ وَيَرْعَوْنَهَا. | ٢ 2 |
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and their feed.
| يَأْخُذُونَ حِمَارَ الأَيْتَامِ وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ ثَوْرَ الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
| يَصُدُّونَ الْمَسَاكِينَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَيَخْتَبِئُ فُقَرَاءُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً. | ٤ 4 |
They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
| انْظُرُوا فَهَا هُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى عَمَلِهِمْ كَالْحِمَارِ الْوَحْشِيِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ يَطْلُبُونَ فِي الْقَفْرِ صَيْداً، لِيَكُونَ طَعَاماً لأَبْنَائِهِمْ، | ٥ 5 |
Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work; rising early for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
| يَجْمَعُونَ عَلَفَهُمْ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ وَيَقْطُفُونَ كَرْمَ الشِّرِّيرِ. | ٦ 6 |
They reap every one his grain in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
| يَرْقُدُونَ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عُرَاةً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَسْوَةٍ تَقِيهِمْ قَسْوَةَ الْبَرْدِ. | ٧ 7 |
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
| يَبْتَلُّونَ مِنْ مَطَرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْكَنُونَ إِلَى الصَّخْرِ لاِفْتِقَارِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَأْوَى. | ٨ 8 |
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
| يَخْطِفُونَ الْيَتَامَى عَنِ الثُّدِيِّ، وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ طِفْلَ الْمِسْكِينِ، | ٩ 9 |
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
| يَطُوفُونَ عُرَاةً بِلا كِسَاءٍ، جِيَاعاً حَامِلِينَ الْحُزَمَ. | ١٠ 10 |
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
| يَعْصِرُونَ الزَّيْتَ بَيْنَ أَتْلامِ زَيْتُونِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَيَدُوسُونَ مَعَاصِرَ الْخَمْرِ وَهُمْ عِطَاشٌ. | ١١ 11 |
Who make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
| يَرْتَفِعُ مِنَ الْمُدُنِ أَنِينُ الْمُشْرِفِينَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَتَسْتَغِيثُ نُفُوسُ الْجَرْحَى، وَاللهُ لَا يُصْغِي إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
| هُنَاكَ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِيِنَ عَلَى النُّورِ، فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طُرُقَهَ، وَلَمْ يَمْكُثُوا فِي سُبُلِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths.
| عِنْدَ مَطْلَعِ النُّورِ يَنْهَضُ الْقَاتِلُ وَيُهْلِكُ الْبَائِسَ وَالْمُحْتَاجَ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَغْدُو لِصّاً. | ١٤ 14 |
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
| يَنْتَظِرُ الزَّانِي حُلُولَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَيَتَقَنَّعُ قَائِلاً: لَنْ تُبْصِرَنِي عَيْنٌ. | ١٥ 15 |
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
| يَنْقُبُونَ البُيُوتَ لَيْلاً، وَفِي النَّهَارِ يُغْلِقُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَلا يَعْرِفُونَ النُّورَ، | ١٦ 16 |
In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
| لأَنَّ الصَّبَاحَ عِنْدَهُمْ كَظِلِّ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَهْوَالُ الظُّلْمَةِ هِيَ رِفْقَتُهُمْ. | ١٧ 17 |
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one knoweth them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
| يَنْجَرِفُونَ لِخِفَّتِهِمْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ، وَنَصِيبُهُمْ مَلْعُونٌ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَ كُرُومِهِمْ. | ١٨ 18 |
He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
| وَكَمَا أَنَّ الْقَحْطَ وَالْقَيْظَ يَذْهَبَانِ بِمِيَاهِ الثَّلْجِ، كَذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ الْهَاوِيَةُ بِالْخَاطِئِ، (Sheol h7585) | ١٩ 19 |
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those who have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
| تَنْسَاهُ الرَّحِمُ وَيَسْتَطِيبُهُ الدُّودُ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَذْكُرُ الأَشْرَارَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَشَجَرَةٍ مُقْتَلَعَةٍ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
| يُسِيئُونَ إِلَى الْعَاقِرِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ، وَلا يُحْسِنُونَ إِلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He wrongeth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
| اللهُ فِي جَلالِهِ يُدَمِّرُ الْقَوِيَّ وَيُمِيتُهُ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
| يَمْنَحُهُمْ طُمَأْنِينَةً تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ، لَكِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ تُرَاقِبانِ طُرُقَهُمْ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Though it is given him to be in safety, on which he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
| تَشَامَخُوا لِلَحْظَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلاشَوْا، انْحَطُّوا وَجُمِعُوا كَالأَشْيَاءِ الأُخْرَى، بَلْ حُصِدُوا كَرُؤُوسِ السَّنَابِلِ؛ | ٢٤ 24 |
They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others, and cut off as the tops of the heads of grain.
| وَإلَّا، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَيَجْعَلَ كَلامِي كَالْعَدَمِ؟» | ٢٥ 25 |
And if it is not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech of no worth?
