أيُّوب 35
| وَقَالَ أَلِيهُو أَيْضاً: | ١ 1 |
And Elius resumed and said,
| «أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا عَدْلاً؟ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ هَذَا حَقِّي أَمَامَ اللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
| وَتَسْأَلُ: أَيَّةُ مَنْفَعَةٍ لِي؟ هَلْ أَكُونُ فِي حَالٍ أَفْضَلَ لَوْ لَمْ أُخْطِئْ؟ | ٣ 3 |
I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
| سَأُجِيبُكَ أَنْتَ وَأَصْدِقَاءَكَ مَعَكَ: | ٤ 4 |
Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee.
| انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأَمَّلْ: تَفَرَّسْ فِي السُّحُبِ الشَّامِخَةِ فَوْقَكَ. | ٥ 5 |
If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do?
| إِنْ أَثِمْتَ فَمَاذَا يُؤَثِّرُ هَذَا فِيهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ خَطَايَاكَ فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْحَقُ بِهِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ بَارّاً فَمَاذَا تُعْطِيهِ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand?
| إِنَّ شَرَّكَ يُؤَثِّرُ فِي إِنْسَانٍ نَظِيرِكَ، وَبِرَّكَ يَفِيدُ فَقَطْ أَبْنَاءَ النَّاسِ. | ٨ 8 |
Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ يَسْتَغِيثُ الْمَظْلُومُونَ طَلَباً لِلْخَلاصِ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْعُتَاةِ، | ٩ 9 |
They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
| وَلَكِنْ لَا أَحَدَ يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ اللهُ صَانِعِي، الْوَاهِبُ تَرْنِيماً فِي اللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
| الَّذِي عَلَّمَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلَنَا أَعْظَمَ حِكْمَةً مِنْ طُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ. | ١١ 11 |
who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِهِ فَلا يُجِيبُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ تَشَامُخِ الأَشْرَارِ | ١٢ 12 |
There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِصُرَاخِهِمِ الفَارِغِ، وَلا يَأْبَهُ القَدِيرُ لَهُ | ١٣ 13 |
For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
| فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى لَا يَسْمَعُ لَكَ عِنْدَمَا تَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَرَاهُ! لَكِنِ اصْبِرْ، فَدَعْوَاكَ أَمَامَهُ | ١٤ 14 |
He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
| وَالآنَ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُجَازِ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَلَمْ يُبَالِ بِمُعَاقَبَةِ الإِثْمِ، | ١٥ 15 |
For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
| فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْكَلامِ بِجَهْلٍ!» | ١٦ 16 |
Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
