< 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.”
