أيُّوب 35
| وَقَالَ أَلِيهُو أَيْضاً: | ١ 1 |
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
| «أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا عَدْلاً؟ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ: إِنَّ هَذَا حَقِّي أَمَامَ اللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
| وَتَسْأَلُ: أَيَّةُ مَنْفَعَةٍ لِي؟ هَلْ أَكُونُ فِي حَالٍ أَفْضَلَ لَوْ لَمْ أُخْطِئْ؟ | ٣ 3 |
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and], What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
| سَأُجِيبُكَ أَنْتَ وَأَصْدِقَاءَكَ مَعَكَ: | ٤ 4 |
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
| انْظُرْ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَتَأَمَّلْ: تَفَرَّسْ فِي السُّحُبِ الشَّامِخَةِ فَوْقَكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which] are higher than thou.
| إِنْ أَثِمْتَ فَمَاذَا يُؤَثِّرُ هَذَا فِيهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ خَطَايَاكَ فَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَلْحَقُ بِهِ؟ | ٦ 6 |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
| وَإِنْ كُنْتَ بَارّاً فَمَاذَا تُعْطِيهِ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
| إِنَّ شَرَّكَ يُؤَثِّرُ فِي إِنْسَانٍ نَظِيرِكَ، وَبِرَّكَ يَفِيدُ فَقَطْ أَبْنَاءَ النَّاسِ. | ٨ 8 |
Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art; ] and thy righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
| لأَنَّ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْجَوْرِ يَسْتَغِيثُ الْمَظْلُومُونَ طَلَباً لِلْخَلاصِ مِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْعُتَاةِ، | ٩ 9 |
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
| وَلَكِنْ لَا أَحَدَ يَقُولُ: أَيْنَ اللهُ صَانِعِي، الْوَاهِبُ تَرْنِيماً فِي اللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
| الَّذِي عَلَّمَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ الأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلَنَا أَعْظَمَ حِكْمَةً مِنْ طُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ. | ١١ 11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِهِ فَلا يُجِيبُ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ تَشَامُخِ الأَشْرَارِ | ١٢ 12 |
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
| فَإِنْ كَانَ اللهُ لَا يَسْمَعُ لِصُرَاخِهِمِ الفَارِغِ، وَلا يَأْبَهُ القَدِيرُ لَهُ | ١٣ 13 |
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
| فَكَمْ بِالأَحْرَى لَا يَسْمَعُ لَكَ عِنْدَمَا تَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَرَاهُ! لَكِنِ اصْبِرْ، فَدَعْوَاكَ أَمَامَهُ | ١٤ 14 |
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
| وَالآنَ، لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُجَازِ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَلَمْ يُبَالِ بِمُعَاقَبَةِ الإِثْمِ، | ١٥ 15 |
But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:
| فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِالْبَاطِلِ، وَأَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْكَلامِ بِجَهْلٍ!» | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
