أيُّوب 36
| وَاسْتَطْرَدَ أَلِيهُو: | ١ 1 |
Elihu also proceeded, and said:
| «تَحَمَّلْنِي قَلِيلاً فَأَزِيدَكَ اطِّلاعاً، فَمَازَالَ عِنْدِي مَا أَقُولُهُ نِيَابَةً عَنِ اللهِ، | ٢ 2 |
Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
| لأَنِّي أَتَلَقَّى عِلْمِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَأَعْزُو بِرّاً لِصَانِعِي. | ٣ 3 |
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
| حَقّاً إِنَّ كَلامِي صَادِقٌ، لأَنَّ الْكَامِلَ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ حَاضِرٌ مَعَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
| اللهُ قَدِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَحْتَقِرُ الإِنْسَانَ، هُوَ قَدِيرٌ عَظِيمُ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْفَهْمِ. | ٥ 5 |
Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
| لَا يُبْقِي عَلَى حَيَاةِ الشِّرِّيرِ إِنَّمَا يَقْضِي حَقَّ الْبَائِسِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
| لَا يَغُضُّ طَرْفَهُ عَنِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ، بَلْ يُقِيمُهُمْ مَعَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْعُرُوشِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ فَيَتَعَظَّمُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
| وَإِنْ رُبِطُوا بِالْقُيُودِ، وَوَقَعُوا فِي حِبَالِ الشَّقَاءِ، | ٨ 8 |
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يُبْدِي لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَآثَامَهُمْ إِذْ سَلَكُوا بِغُرُورٍ. | ٩ 9 |
Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
| يَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِتَحْذِيرَاتِهِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالتَّوْبَةِ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ. | ١٠ 10 |
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
| فَإِنْ أَطَاعُوا وَعَبَدُوهُ، يَقْضُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ بِرَغْدٍ، وَسِنِيهِمْ بِالنِّعَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ عَصَوْا فَبِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ يَهْلِكُوا، وَيَمُوتُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ فَهْمٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
| أَمَّا فُجَّارُ الْقُلُوبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ غَضَباً، وَلا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِاللهِ حِينَ يُعَاقِبُهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
| يَمُوتُونَ فِي الصِّبَا بَيْنَ مَأْبُونِي الْمَعَابِدِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
| أَمَّا الْمُبْتَلَوْنَ فَيُنْقِذُهُمْ فِي بَلائِهِمْ، وَبِالضِّيقِ يَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ. | ١٥ 15 |
He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
| يَجْتَذِبُكَ مِنَ الضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ طَلِيقٍ، وَيَمْلأُ مَائِدَتَكَ بِالأَطْعِمَةِ الدَّسِمَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
| وَلَكِنَّكَ مُثْقَلٌ بِالدَّيْنُونَةِ الْوَاقِعَةِ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ، فَالدَّعْوَى وَالْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
| فَاحْرِصْ لِئَلّا يُغْرِيَكَ الغَضَبُ بالسُّخْرِيَةِ، أَوْ تَصْرِفَكَ الرِّشْوَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ عَنِ الحَقِّ | ١٨ 18 |
For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
| أَيُمْكِنُ لِثَرَائِكَ أَوْ لِجُهُودِكَ الْجَبَّارَةِ أَنْ تَدْعَمَكَ فَلا تَغْرَقَ فِي الْكَآبَةِ؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
| لَا تَتَشَوَّقْ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَجُرَّ النَّاسَ خَارِجاً مِنْ بُيُوتِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
| احْتَرِسْ أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَا اخْتَرْتَهُ عِوَضاً عَنِ الشَّقَاءِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
| انْظُرْ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَتَمَجَّدُ فِي قُوَّتِهِ. أَيُّ مُعَلِّمٍ نَظِيرُهُ؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?
| مَنْ سَنَّ لَهُ طُرُقَهُ أَوْ قَالَ لَهْ: لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبْتَ خَطَأً؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
| لَا تَنْسَ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ الَّذِي يَتَغَنَّى بِهِ النَّاسُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
| لَقَدْ شَهِدَهُ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ، وَتَفَرَّسُوا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
| فَمَا أَعْظَمَ اللهَ! وَنَحْنُ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ، وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُسْتَقْصَى. | ٢٦ 26 |
Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
| لأَنَّهُ يَجْتَذِبُ قَطَرَاتِ الْمَاءِ، وَيَجْعَلُ سُحُبَهُ تَهْطِلُ أَمْطَاراً، | ٢٧ 27 |
For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
| تَسْكُبُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَتَصُبُّهَا بِغَزَارَةٍ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
| أَهُنَاكَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ كَيْفَ تَنْتَشِرُ السُّحُبُ، وَكَيْفَ تُرْعِدُ سَمَاؤُهُ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
| فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ بَسَطَ بُرُوقَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ وَتَسَرْبَلَ بِلُجَجِ الْبَحْرِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
| هَكَذَا يُطْعِمُ اللهُ الشُّعُوبَ وَيُزَوِّدُهُمْ بِالْغِذَاءِ بِوَفْرَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
| يَمْلأُ يَدَيْهِ بِالْبُرُوقِ وَيَأْمُرُهَا أَنْ تُصِيبَ الْهَدَفَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
| إِنَّ رَعْدَهُ يُنْذِرُ بِاقْتِرَابِ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَحَتَّى الْمَاشِيَةُ تُنْبِئُ بِدُنُوِّهَا. | ٣٣ 33 |
The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
