< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered and said,
أَيُّوبُ:١
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
«يَا لَكُمْ مِنْ عَوْنٍ كَبِيرٍ لِلْخَائِرِ! كَيْفَ خَلَّصْتُمْ ذِرَاعاً وَاهِيَةً!٢
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
أَيَّةَ مَشَورَةٍ أَسْدَيْتُمْ لِلأَحْمَقِ! أَيَّةُ مَعْرِفَةٍ صَادِقَةٍ وَافِرَةٍ زَوَّدْتُمُوهُ بِها!٣
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
لِمَنْ نَطَقْتُمْ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ؟ وَرُوحُ مَنْ عَبَّرتُمْ عَنْهُ؟٤
5 They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
تَرْتَعِدُ الأَشْبَاحُ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيَاهُ وَسُكَّانُهَا.٥
6 Sheol is naked before [God], And Abaddon hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
الْهَاوِيَةُ مَكْشُوفَةٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالْهَلاكُ لَا سِتْرَ لَهُ. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.
يَمُدُّ الشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْخَوَاءِ وَيُعَلِّقُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ.٧
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.
يَصُرُّ الْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلا يَتَخَرَّقُ الْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.٨
9 He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ عَرْشِهِ وَيَبْسُطُ فَوْقَهُ غُيُومَهُ.٩
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.
رَسَمَ حَدّاً عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ خَطِّ اتِّصَالِ النُّورِ بِالظُّلْمَةِ.١٠
11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.
مِنْ زَجْرِهِ تَرْتَعِشُ أَعْمِدَةُ السَّمَاءِ وَتَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَقْرِيعِهِ.١١
12 He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
بِقُوَّتِهِ يُهَدِّئُ هَيَجَانَ الْبَحْرِ وَبِحِكْمَتِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.١٢
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.
بِنَسْمَتِهِ جَمَّلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيَدَاهُ اخْتَرَقَتَا الْحَيَّةَ الْهَارِبَةَ.١٣
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
وَهَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ سِوَى أَدْنَى طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَتَ هَمْسَ كَلامِهِ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ؛ فَمَنْ يُدْرِكُ إِذاً رَعْدَ جَبَرُوتِهِ؟»١٤
