< أيُّوب 39 >

هَلْ تُدْرِكُ مَتَى تَلِدُ أَوْعَالُ الصُّخُورِ أَمْ تَرْقُبُ مَخَاضَ الأَيَائِلِ؟ ١ 1
Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?
هَلْ تَحْسُبُ أَشْهُرَ حَمْلِهِنَّ، وَتَعْلَمُ مِيعَادَ وَضْعِهِنَّ، ٢ 2
Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?
حِينَ يَجْثُمْنَ لِيَضَعْنَ صِغَارَهُنَّ، وَيتَخَلَّصْنَ مِنْ آلامِ مَخَاضِهِنَّ؟ ٣ 3
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
تَكْبُرُ صِغَارُهُنَّ، وَتَنْمُو فِي الْقَفْرِ، ثُمَّ تَشْرُدُ وَلا تَعُودُ. ٤ 4
Their young ones are in good looking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
مَنْ أَطْلَقَ سَرَاحَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ وَفَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ؟ ٥ 5
Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has 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 barren land his dwellings.
فَيَسْخَرَ مِنْ جَلَبَةِ الْمُدُنِ وَلا يَسْمَعَ نِدَاءَ السَّائِقِ؟ ٧ 7
He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.
يَرْتَادُ الْجِبَالَ مَرْعىً لَهُ، وَيَلْتَمِسُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، ٨ 8
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
أَيَرْضَى الثَّوْرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ؟ أَيَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلِفِكَ؟ ٩ 9
Will the unicorn (ox) be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?
أَتَرْبِطُهُ بِالنِّيرِ لِيَجُرَّ لَكَ الْمِحْرَاثَ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ الْوَادِي خَلْفَكَ؟ ١٠ 10
Can you bind the unicorn (ox) with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?
أَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ لِقُوَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَتُكَلِّفُهُ الْقِيَامَ بِأَعْمَالِكَ؟ ١١ 11
Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labour to him?
أَتَثِقُ بِعَوْدَتِهِ حَامِلاً إِلَيْكَ حِنْطَتَكَ لِيُكَوِّمَهَا فِي بَيْدَرِكَ؟ ١٢ 12
Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?
يُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحَا النَّعَامَةِ بِغِبْطَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ أَهُمَا جَنَاحَانِ مَكْسُوَّانِ بِرِيشِ الْمَحَبَّةِ؟ ١٣ 13
Gave you the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
فَهِيَ تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِيَدْفَأَ بِالتُّرَابِ، ١٤ 14
Which left her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,
وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ الْقَدَمَ قَدْ تَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْكَاسِرَةِ قَدْ تُحَطِّمُهُ. ١٥ 15
And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
إِنَّهَا تُعَامِلُ صِغَارَهَا بِقَسْوَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا، غَيْرَ آسِفَةٍ عَلَى ضَيَاعِ تَعَبِهَا، ١٦ 16
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا الْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَحْهَا نَصِيباً مِنَ الْفَهْمِ. ١٧ 17
Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ تَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهَا، لِتَجْرِيَ حَتَّى تَهْزَأَ بِالْفَرَسِ وَرَاكِبِهِ! ١٨ 18
What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
أَأَنْتَ وَهَبْتَ الْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ، وَكَسَوْتَ عُنُقَهُ عُرْفاً؟ ١٩ 19
Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?
أَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهُ يَثِبُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ إنَّ نَخِيرَهُ الْهَائِلَ لَمُخِيفٌ. ٢٠ 20
Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
يَشُقُّ الْوَادِي بِحَوَافِرِهِ، وَيَمْرَحُ فِي جَمِّ نَشَاطِهِ، وَيَقْتَحِمُ الْمَعَارِكَ. ٢١ 21
He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.
يَسْخَرُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَلا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَمَامَ السَّيْفِ. ٢٢ 22
He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.
تَصِلُّ عَلَيْهِ جُعْبَةُ السِّهَامِ، وَأَيْضاً بَرِيقُ الرِّمَاحِ وَالْحِرَابِ. ٢٣ 23
The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
فِي جَرْيِهِ يَنْهَبُ الأَرْضَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ وَغَضَبٍ وَلا يَسْتَقِرُّ فِي مَكَانِهِ عِنْدَ نَفْخِ بُوقِ الْحَرْبِ. ٢٤ 24
He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
عِنْدَمَا يُدَوِّي صَوْتُ الْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ هَهْ! وَيَسْتَرْوِحُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَيَسْمَعُ زَئِيرَ الْقَادَةِ وَهُتَافَهُمْ. ٢٥ 25
He says among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle far off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
أَبِحِكْمَتِكَ يُحَلِّقُ الصَّقْرُ وَيَفْرِدُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ؟ ٢٦ 26
Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
أَبِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ النَّسْرُ وَيَجْعَلُ وَكْرَهُ فِي الْعَلاءِ؟ ٢٧ 27
Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
يُعَشِّشُ بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ، وَيَبِيتُ فِيهَا وَعَلَى جُرْفٍ صَخْرِيٍّ يَكُونُ مَعْقَلُهُ. ٢٨ 28
She dwells and abides on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَرَصَّدُ قُوتَهُ، وَتَرْقُبُ عَيْنَاهُ فَرِيسَتَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. ٢٩ 29
From thence she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold far 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.
