< أيُّوب 42 >

أَيُّوبُ ١ 1
Then Job answered the LORD:
«قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلا يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ. ٢ 2
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
تَسْأَلُنِي: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْمَشُورَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ حَقّاً قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا، بِعَجَائِبَ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكِي. ٣ 3
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
اسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، أَسْأَلُكَ وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنِي. ٤ 4
You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي، ٥ 5
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
لِذَلِكَ أَلُومُ نَفْسِي وَأَتُوبُ مُعَفِّراً ذَاتِي بِالتُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ». ٦ 6
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَهَى الرَّبُّ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ لأَلِيفَازَ التَّيْمَانِيِّ: «لَقَدِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلا صَدِيقَيْكَ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالصَّوَابِ عَنِّي كَمَا نَطَقَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ. ٧ 7
It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
فَخُذُوا الآنَ لَكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ وَقَرِّبُوهَا ذَبِيحَةَ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ، لِئَلّا أُعَاقِبَكُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالْحَقِّ عَنِّي كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ». ٨ 8
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ. وَأَكْرَمَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ. ٩ 9
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.
وَعِنْدَمَا صَلَّى أَيُّوبُ مِن أَجْلِ أَصْدِقَائِهِ رَدَّهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عُزْلَةِ مَنْفَاهُ، وَضَاعَفَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ. ١٠ 10
The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ إِخْوَتُهُ وَأَخَوَاتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ السَّابِقِينَ، وَتَنَاوَلُوا مَعَهُ طَعَاماً فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَبْدَوْا لَهُ كُلَّ رِفْقٍ، وَعَزُّوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَنْزَلَهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَلْوَى، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَعْضَ الْمَالِ وَخَاتَماً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. ١١ 11
Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولاهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ وَسِتَّةُ آلافٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَلْفُ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ. ١٢ 12
So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
وَرَزَقَهُ اللهُ سَبْعَةَ بَنِينَ وَثَلاثَ بَنَاتٍ، ١٣ 13
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
فَدَعَا الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَالثَّانِيَةَ قَصِيعَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ. ١٤ 14
He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
وَلَمْ تُوْجَدْ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلادِ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلاتٌ مِثْلَ بَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ، وَوَهَبَهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثاً بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ. ١٥ 15
In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ تَجْرِبَتِهِ مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِرُؤْيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ وَأَحْفَادِهِ إِلَى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ. ١٦ 16
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخاً، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ. ١٧ 17
So Job died, being old and full of days.
