Job 5
1 “Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
| ادْعُ الآنَ، فَهَلْ مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ وَإِلَى أَيِّ القِدِّيسِينَ تَلْتَفِتُ؟ | ١ |
2 For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
| الْغَيْظُ يَقْتُلُ الأَحْمَقَ، وَالْغَيْرَةُ تُمِيتُ الأَبْلَهَ. | ٢ |
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
| لَقَدْ شَاهَدْتُ الْغَبِيَّ يَتَأَصَّلُ، ثُمَّ لَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ لَعَنْتُ مَسْكَنَهُ. | ٣ |
4 His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
| أَبْنَاؤُهُ لَا أَمْنَ لَهُمْ. يَتَحَطَّمُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ وَلا مُنْقِذَ. | ٤ |
5 whose harvest the hungry eat up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance.
| يَأْكُلُ الْجَائِعُ حَصِيدَهُمْ، وَيَلْتَهِمُهُ حَتَّى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّوْكِ، وَيَمْتَصُّ الظَّامِئُ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ. | ٥ |
6 For affliction does not come out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
| إِنَّ الْبَلِيَّةَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَالْمَشَقَّاتِ لَا تَنْبُتُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ، | ٦ |
7 but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
| وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ مَوْلُودٌ لِمُعَانَاةِ الْمَتَاعِبِ، كَمَا وُلِدَتِ الْجَوَارِحُ لِتُحَلِّقَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا. | ٧ |
8 “But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
| لَوْ كُنْتُ فِي مَكَانِكَ لاتَّجَهْتُ إِلَى اللهِ وَعَرَضْتُ أَمْرِي عَلَيْهِ. | ٨ |
9 who does great things that cannot be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
| هُوَ صَانِعُ عَجَائِبَ لَا تُفْحَصُ وَعَظَائِمَ لَا تُحْصَى. | ٩ |
10 who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
| يُهْطِلُ الْغَيْثَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَيُرْسِلُ الْمِيَاهَ إِلَى الْحُقُولِ. | ١٠ |
11 so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
| يُقِيمُ الْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ فِي الْعُلَى، وَيَرْفَعُ النَّائِحِينَ إِلَى مَكَانِ الطُّمَأْنِينَةِ. | ١١ |
12 He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
| يُبْطِلُ تَدْبِيرَاتِ الْمُحْتَالِينَ فَيُخْفِقُونَ، | ١٢ |
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
| أَوْ يُوْقِعُ الْحُكَمَاءَ فِي خِدْعَتِهِمْ، فَتَتَلاشَى مَشُورَةُ الْمَاكِرِينَ. | ١٣ |
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
| يَكْتَنِفُهُمْ ظَلامٌ فِي النَّهَارِ، وَيَتَحَسَّسُونَ طَرِيقَهُمْ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ، كَمَنْ يَمْشِي فِي اللَّيْلِ. | ١٤ |
15 But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
| يُنَجِّي الْبَائِسِينَ مِنْ سَيْفِ فَمِهِمْ، وَمِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْقَوِيِّ يُنْقِذُهُمْ، | ١٥ |
16 So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
| فَيُصْبِحُ لِلْمِسْكِينِ رَجَاءٌ، وَالظُّلْمُ يَسُدُّ فَمَهُ. | ١٦ |
17 “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
| طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يُقَوِّمُهُ اللهُ، فَلا تَرْفُضْ تَأْدِيبَ الْقَدِيرِ. | ١٧ |
18 For he wounds and binds up. He injures and his hands make whole.
| لأَنَّ اللهَ يَجْرَحُ وَيَعْصِبُ، يَسْحَقُ وَيَدَاهُ تُبْرِئَانِ. | ١٨ |
19 He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
| مِنْ سِتِّ بَلايَا يُنَجِّيكَ، وَفِي سَبْعٍ لَا يَقَعُ بِكَ أَذىً. | ١٩ |
20 In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
| يَفْدِيكَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ جُوعاً، وَفِي الْحَرْبِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. | ٢٠ |
21 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
| يَقِيكَ مِنْ لَذَعَاتِ اللِّسَانِ، فَلا تَخَافُ مِنَ الدَّمَارِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ. | ٢١ |
22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
| تَسْخَرُ مِنَ الدَّمَارِ وَالْمَجَاعَةِ، وَلا تَخْشَى وُحُوشَ الأَرْضِ، | ٢٢ |
23 For you will be allied with the stones of the field. The animals of the field will be at peace with you.
| لأَنَّ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ حِجَارَةِ الْحَقْلِ، وَوُحُوشُ الصَّحْرَاءِ تُسَالِمُكَ. | ٢٣ |
24 You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.
| فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّ خَيْمَتَكَ آمِنَةٌ، وَتَتَعَهَّدُ حَظِيرَتَكَ فَلا تَفْقِدُ شَيْئاً. | ٢٤ |
25 You will know also that your offspring will be great, your offspring as the grass of the earth.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَأَنَّ نَسْلَكَ كَعُشْبِ الأَرْضِ، | ٢٥ |
26 You will come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
| وَتَدْخُلُ الْقَبْرَ فِي شَيْبَةٍ نَاضِجَةٍ، كَمَا يُرْفَعُ كُدْسُ الْقَمْحِ فِي مَوْسِمِهِ. | ٢٦ |
27 Behold, we have researched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good.”
| فَانْظُرْ. هَذَا مَا بَحَثْنَا عَنْهُ، وَهُوَ حَقٌّ، فَاسْمَعْهُ وَاخْتَبِرْهُ بِنَفْسِكَ». | ٢٧ |
