< أيُّوب 39 >
هَلْ تُدْرِكُ مَتَى تَلِدُ أَوْعَالُ الصُّخُورِ أَمْ تَرْقُبُ مَخَاضَ الأَيَائِلِ؟ | ١ 1 |
“Have you known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? Do you mark the bringing forth of does?
هَلْ تَحْسُبُ أَشْهُرَ حَمْلِهِنَّ، وَتَعْلَمُ مِيعَادَ وَضْعِهِنَّ، | ٢ 2 |
Do you number the months they fulfill? And have you known the time of their bringing forth?
حِينَ يَجْثُمْنَ لِيَضَعْنَ صِغَارَهُنَّ، وَيتَخَلَّصْنَ مِنْ آلامِ مَخَاضِهِنَّ؟ | ٣ 3 |
They bow down, They bring forth their young ones safely, They cast forth their pangs.
تَكْبُرُ صِغَارُهُنَّ، وَتَنْمُو فِي الْقَفْرِ، ثُمَّ تَشْرُدُ وَلا تَعُودُ. | ٤ 4 |
Their young ones are safe, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
مَنْ أَطْلَقَ سَرَاحَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ وَفَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Who has sent forth the wild donkey free? Indeed, who opened the bands of the wild donkey?
لِمَنْ أَعْطَيْتُ الصَّحْرَاءَ مَسْكَناً وَالأَرْضَ الْمِلْحِيَّةَ مَنْزِلاً؟ | ٦ 6 |
Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
فَيَسْخَرَ مِنْ جَلَبَةِ الْمُدُنِ وَلا يَسْمَعَ نِدَاءَ السَّائِقِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
He laughs at the multitude of a city, He does not hear the cries of an exactor.
يَرْتَادُ الْجِبَالَ مَرْعىً لَهُ، وَيَلْتَمِسُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، | ٨ 8 |
The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And he seeks after every green thing.
أَيَرْضَى الثَّوْرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ؟ أَيَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلِفِكَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Is a wild ox willing to serve you? Does he lodge by your crib?
أَتَرْبِطُهُ بِالنِّيرِ لِيَجُرَّ لَكَ الْمِحْرَاثَ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ الْوَادِي خَلْفَكَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Do you bind a wild ox in a furrow [with] his thick band? Does he harrow valleys after you?
أَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ لِقُوَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَتُكَلِّفُهُ الْقِيَامَ بِأَعْمَالِكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Do you trust in him because his power [is] great? And do you leave your labor to him?
أَتَثِقُ بِعَوْدَتِهِ حَامِلاً إِلَيْكَ حِنْطَتَكَ لِيُكَوِّمَهَا فِي بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Do you trust in him That he brings back your seed, And gathers [it to] your threshing-floor?
يُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحَا النَّعَامَةِ بِغِبْطَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ أَهُمَا جَنَاحَانِ مَكْسُوَّانِ بِرِيشِ الْمَحَبَّةِ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
[The] wing of the crying ostriches exults, but as a pinion and feather of a stork?
فَهِيَ تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِيَدْفَأَ بِالتُّرَابِ، | ١٤ 14 |
For she leaves her eggs on the earth, And she warms them on the dust,
وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ الْقَدَمَ قَدْ تَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْكَاسِرَةِ قَدْ تُحَطِّمُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And she forgets that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field treads it down.
إِنَّهَا تُعَامِلُ صِغَارَهَا بِقَسْوَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا، غَيْرَ آسِفَةٍ عَلَى ضَيَاعِ تَعَبِهَا، | ١٦ 16 |
It has hardened her young ones without her, Her labor [is] in vain, without fear.
لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا الْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَحْهَا نَصِيباً مِنَ الْفَهْمِ. | ١٧ 17 |
For God has caused her to forget wisdom, And He has not given a portion To her in understanding;
وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ تَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهَا، لِتَجْرِيَ حَتَّى تَهْزَأَ بِالْفَرَسِ وَرَاكِبِهِ! | ١٨ 18 |
At the time she lifts herself up on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
أَأَنْتَ وَهَبْتَ الْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ، وَكَسَوْتَ عُنُقَهُ عُرْفاً؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Do you give might to the horse? Do you clothe his neck [with] a mane?
أَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهُ يَثِبُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ إنَّ نَخِيرَهُ الْهَائِلَ لَمُخِيفٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Do you cause him to rush as a locust? The splendor of his snorting [is] terrible.
يَشُقُّ الْوَادِي بِحَوَافِرِهِ، وَيَمْرَحُ فِي جَمِّ نَشَاطِهِ، وَيَقْتَحِمُ الْمَعَارِكَ. | ٢١ 21 |
They dig in a valley, and he rejoices in power, He goes forth to meet the armor.
يَسْخَرُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَلا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَمَامَ السَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He laughs at fear, and is not frightened, And he does not turn back from the face of the sword.
تَصِلُّ عَلَيْهِ جُعْبَةُ السِّهَامِ، وَأَيْضاً بَرِيقُ الرِّمَاحِ وَالْحِرَابِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Quiver rattles against him, The flame of a spear, and a javelin.
فِي جَرْيِهِ يَنْهَبُ الأَرْضَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ وَغَضَبٍ وَلا يَسْتَقِرُّ فِي مَكَانِهِ عِنْدَ نَفْخِ بُوقِ الْحَرْبِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He swallows the ground with trembling and rage, And does not remain steadfast Because of the sound of a horn.
عِنْدَمَا يُدَوِّي صَوْتُ الْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ هَهْ! وَيَسْتَرْوِحُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَيَسْمَعُ زَئِيرَ الْقَادَةِ وَهُتَافَهُمْ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Among the horns he says, Aha, And from afar he smells battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.
أَبِحِكْمَتِكَ يُحَلِّقُ الصَّقْرُ وَيَفْرِدُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
By your understanding does a hawk fly? Does he spread his wings to the south?
أَبِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ النَّسْرُ وَيَجْعَلُ وَكْرَهُ فِي الْعَلاءِ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
At your command does an eagle go up high? Or lift up his nest?
يُعَشِّشُ بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ، وَيَبِيتُ فِيهَا وَعَلَى جُرْفٍ صَخْرِيٍّ يَكُونُ مَعْقَلُهُ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He inhabits a rock, Indeed, he lodges on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.
مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَرَصَّدُ قُوتَهُ، وَتَرْقُبُ عَيْنَاهُ فَرِيسَتَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
From there he has sought food, His eyes look attentively to a far-off place,
وَتَأْكُلُ فِرَاخُهُ أَيْضاً الدِّمَاءَ، وَحَيْثُ تَكُونُ الْجُثَثُ تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ». | ٣٠ 30 |
And his brood sucks up blood, And where the pierced [are]—there [is] he!”
