أيُّوب 39
| هَلْ تُدْرِكُ مَتَى تَلِدُ أَوْعَالُ الصُّخُورِ أَمْ تَرْقُبُ مَخَاضَ الأَيَائِلِ؟ | ١ 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
| هَلْ تَحْسُبُ أَشْهُرَ حَمْلِهِنَّ، وَتَعْلَمُ مِيعَادَ وَضْعِهِنَّ، | ٢ 2 |
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
| حِينَ يَجْثُمْنَ لِيَضَعْنَ صِغَارَهُنَّ، وَيتَخَلَّصْنَ مِنْ آلامِ مَخَاضِهِنَّ؟ | ٣ 3 |
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they cast out their fruit.
| تَكْبُرُ صِغَارُهُنَّ، وَتَنْمُو فِي الْقَفْرِ، ثُمَّ تَشْرُدُ وَلا تَعُودُ. | ٤ 4 |
Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again.
| مَنْ أَطْلَقَ سَرَاحَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ وَفَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
| لِمَنْ أَعْطَيْتُ الصَّحْرَاءَ مَسْكَناً وَالأَرْضَ الْمِلْحِيَّةَ مَنْزِلاً؟ | ٦ 6 |
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling-place.
| فَيَسْخَرَ مِنْ جَلَبَةِ الْمُدُنِ وَلا يَسْمَعَ نِدَاءَ السَّائِقِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
He scorneth the tumult of the city, neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.
| يَرْتَادُ الْجِبَالَ مَرْعىً لَهُ، وَيَلْتَمِسُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، | ٨ 8 |
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
| أَيَرْضَى الثَّوْرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ؟ أَيَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلِفِكَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?
| أَتَرْبِطُهُ بِالنِّيرِ لِيَجُرَّ لَكَ الْمِحْرَاثَ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ الْوَادِي خَلْفَكَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
| أَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ لِقُوَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَتُكَلِّفُهُ الْقِيَامَ بِأَعْمَالِكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
| أَتَثِقُ بِعَوْدَتِهِ حَامِلاً إِلَيْكَ حِنْطَتَكَ لِيُكَوِّمَهَا فِي بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Wilt thou rely on him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather the corn of thy threshing-floor?
| يُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحَا النَّعَامَةِ بِغِبْطَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ أَهُمَا جَنَاحَانِ مَكْسُوَّانِ بِرِيشِ الْمَحَبَّةِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's?
| فَهِيَ تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِيَدْفَأَ بِالتُّرَابِ، | ١٤ 14 |
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
| وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ الْقَدَمَ قَدْ تَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْكَاسِرَةِ قَدْ تُحَطِّمُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may trample them.
| إِنَّهَا تُعَامِلُ صِغَارَهَا بِقَسْوَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا، غَيْرَ آسِفَةٍ عَلَى ضَيَاعِ تَعَبِهَا، | ١٦ 16 |
She is hardened against her young ones, as if they were not hers; though her labour be in vain, she is without fear;
| لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا الْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَحْهَا نَصِيباً مِنَ الْفَهْمِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding.
| وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ تَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهَا، لِتَجْرِيَ حَتَّى تَهْزَأَ بِالْفَرَسِ وَرَاكِبِهِ! | ١٨ 18 |
When the time cometh, she raiseth her wings on high, and scorneth the horse and his rider.
| أَأَنْتَ وَهَبْتَ الْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ، وَكَسَوْتَ عُنُقَهُ عُرْفاً؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Hast thou given the horse his strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with fierceness?
| أَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهُ يَثِبُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ إنَّ نَخِيرَهُ الْهَائِلَ لَمُخِيفٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
| يَشُقُّ الْوَادِي بِحَوَافِرِهِ، وَيَمْرَحُ فِي جَمِّ نَشَاطِهِ، وَيَقْتَحِمُ الْمَعَارِكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the clash of arms.
| يَسْخَرُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَلا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَمَامَ السَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
| تَصِلُّ عَلَيْهِ جُعْبَةُ السِّهَامِ، وَأَيْضاً بَرِيقُ الرِّمَاحِ وَالْحِرَابِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
| فِي جَرْيِهِ يَنْهَبُ الأَرْضَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ وَغَضَبٍ وَلا يَسْتَقِرُّ فِي مَكَانِهِ عِنْدَ نَفْخِ بُوقِ الْحَرْبِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He swalloweth the ground with storm and rage; neither believeth he that it is the voice of the horn.
| عِنْدَمَا يُدَوِّي صَوْتُ الْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ هَهْ! وَيَسْتَرْوِحُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَيَسْمَعُ زَئِيرَ الْقَادَةِ وَهُتَافَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
As oft as he heareth the horn he saith: 'Ha, ha!' and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
| أَبِحِكْمَتِكَ يُحَلِّقُ الصَّقْرُ وَيَفْرِدُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
| أَبِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ النَّسْرُ وَيَجْعَلُ وَكْرَهُ فِي الْعَلاءِ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Doth the vulture mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
| يُعَشِّشُ بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ، وَيَبِيتُ فِيهَا وَعَلَى جُرْفٍ صَخْرِيٍّ يَكُونُ مَعْقَلُهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the stronghold.
| مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَرَصَّدُ قُوتَهُ، وَتَرْقُبُ عَيْنَاهُ فَرِيسَتَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
From thence she spieth out the prey; her eyes behold it afar off.
| وَتَأْكُلُ فِرَاخُهُ أَيْضاً الدِّمَاءَ، وَحَيْثُ تَكُونُ الْجُثَثُ تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ». | ٣٠ 30 |
Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is she.
