Job 27
1 And Job again took up his discourse, and said,
| وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul.
| «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي، | ٢ |
3 (For my life is yet whole in me. And the spirit of God is in my nostrils.)
| إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، | ٣ |
4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor shall my tongue utter deceit.
| لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ. | ٤ |
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you. Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
| حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي. | ٥ |
6 I hold fast my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
| تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي. | ٦ |
7 Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
| لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٧ |
8 For what is the hope of the profane, though he gets him gain, when God takes away his soul?
| لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟ | ٨ |
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?
| أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟ | ٩ |
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
| أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟ | ١٠ |
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
| «إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١١ |
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it. Why then have ye become altogether vain?
| هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٢ |
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
| هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُونَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١٣ |
14 If his sons be multiplied, it is for the sword. And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
| إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا. | ١٤ |
15 Those who remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
| بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي. | ١٥ |
16 Though he heaps up silver as the dust, and prepares raiment as the clay,
| إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ، | ١٦ |
17 he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
| فَهُوَ يُعِدُّ وَٱلْبَارُّ يَلْبَسُهُ، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَقْسِمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ. | ١٧ |
18 He builds his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper makes.
| يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَٱلْعُثِّ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱلنَّاطُورُ. | ١٨ |
19 He lies down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers. He opens his eyes, and he is not.
| يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ. | ١٩ |
20 Terrors overtake him like waters. A tempest steals him away in the night.
| ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ. | ٢٠ |
21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs, and it sweeps him out of his place.
| تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 For God shall hurl at him, and not spare. He would gladly flee out of his hand.
| يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا. | ٢٢ |
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
| يَصْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَيَصْفِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. | ٢٣ |
