< أيُّوب 27 >
وَاسْتَطْرَدَ أَيُّوبُ يَضْرِبُ مَثَلَهُ قَائِلاً: | ١ 1 |
And Job adds to lift up his allegory and says:
«حَيٌّ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَالْقَدِيرُ الَّذِي أَمَرَّ حَيَاتِي، | ٢ 2 |
“God lives! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty—He made my soul bitter.
وَلَكِنْ مَادَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ اللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، | ٣ 3 |
For all the while my breath [is] in me, And the wind of God in my nostrils.
فَإِنَّ شَفَتَيَّ لَنْ تَنْطِقَا بِالسُّوءِ، وَلِسَانِي لَنْ يَتَلَفَّظَ بِالْغِشِّ. | ٤ 4 |
My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue does not utter deceit.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُقِرَّ بِصَوَابِ أَقْوَالِكُمْ، وَلَنْ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْ كَمَالِي حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ. | ٥ 5 |
Defilement to me—if I justify you, Until I expire I do not turn aside my integrity from me.
أَتَشَبَّثُ بِبِرِّي وَلَنْ أَرْخِيَهُ، لأَنَّ ضَمِيرِي لَا يُؤَنِّبُنِي عَلَى يَوْمٍ مِنْ أَيَّامِي. | ٦ 6 |
On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart does not reproach me while I live.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي نَظِيرَ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُقَاوِمِي كَالْفَاجِرِ، | ٧ 7 |
My enemy is as the wicked, And my withstander as the perverse.
إِذْ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ الْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَسْتَأْصِلُهُ اللهُ وَيُزْهِقُ أَنْفَاسَهُ؟ | ٨ 8 |
For what [is] the hope of the profane, When He cuts off? When God casts off his soul?
هَلْ يَسْتَمِعُ اللهُ إِلَى صَرْخَتِهِ إِذَا حَلَّ بِهِ ضِيقٌ؟ | ٩ 9 |
[Does] God hear his cry, When distress comes on him?
هَلْ يُسَرُّ بِالْقَدِيرِ وَيَسْتَغِيثُ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ الأَزْمِنَةِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Does he delight himself on the Mighty? Call God at all times?
إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ عَنْ قُوَّةِ اللهِ، وَلا أَكْتُمُ عَنْكُمْ مَا لَدَى الْقَدِيرِ. | ١١ 11 |
I show you by the hand of God, That which [is] with the Mighty I do not hide.
فَأَنْتُمْ جَمِيعاً قَدْ عَايَنْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَمَا بَالُكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ بِالْبَاطِلِ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, you—all of you—have seen, And why [is] this—you are altogether vain?
هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ الشِّرِّيرِ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَالْمِيرَاثُ الَّذِي يَنَالُهُ الظَّالِمُ مِنَ الْقَدِيرِ. | ١٣ 13 |
This [is] the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones They receive from the Mighty.
إِنْ تَكَاثَرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِيَكُونُوا طَعَاماً لِلسَّيْفِ، وَنَسْلُهُ لَا يَشْبَعُ خُبْزاً. | ١٤ 14 |
If his sons multiply—a sword [is] for them. And his offspring [are] not satisfied [with] bread.
ذُرِّيَّتُهُ تَمُوتُ بِالْوَبَأِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُمْ لَا تَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
His remnant are buried in death, And his widows do not weep.
إِنْ جَمَعَ فِضَّتَهُ كَأَكْوَامِ التُّرَابِ، وَكَوَّمَ مَلابِسَ كَالطِّينِ، | ١٦ 16 |
If he heaps up silver as dust, And prepares clothing as clay,
فَإِنَّ مَا يُعِدُّهُ مِنْ ثِيَابٍ يَرْتَدِيهِ الصِّدِّيقُ، وَالْبَرِيءُ يُوَزِّعُ الْفِضَّةَ. | ١٧ 17 |
He prepares—and the righteous puts [it] on, And the innocent apportions the silver.
يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَبَيْتِ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا حَارِسُ الْكُرُومِ. | ١٨ 18 |
He has built his house as a moth, And as a shelter a watchman has made.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ مُعْدَماً. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَإذَا بِثَرْوَتِهِ قَدْ تَلاشَتْ. | ١٩ 19 |
He lies down rich, and he is not gathered, He has opened his eyes, and he is not.
يَطْغَى عَلَيْهِ رُعْبٌ كَفَيَضَانٍ، وَتَخْطِفُهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ زَوْبَعَةٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Terrors overtake him as waters, By night a whirlwind has stolen him away.
تُطَوِّحُ بِهِ الرِّيحُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَخْتَفِي وَتَقْتَلِعُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. | ٢١ 21 |
An east wind takes him up, and he goes, And it frightens him from his place,
تُطْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَحْمَةٍ وَهُوَ هَارِبٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ عُنْفُوانِهَا. | ٢٢ 22 |
And it casts at him, and does not spare, He diligently flees from its hand.
تُصَفِّرُ الرِّيحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَتُرْعِبُهُ بِقُوَّتِهَا الْمُدَمِّرَةِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
It claps its hands at him, And it hisses at him from his place.”
