Job 19
1 Then Job answered:
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ |
2 “How long will you torment me and crush me with your words?
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِالْكَلامِ الْمُوْجِعِ؟ | ٢ |
3 Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me.
| فَهَذِهِ عَشَرُ مَرَّاتٍ انْهَلْتُمْ عَلَيَّ تَعْيِيراً، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنَ التَّنْدِيدِ بِي! | ٣ |
4 Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone.
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَخْطَائِي هِيَ مِنْ شَأْنِي وَحْدِي. | ٤ |
5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ عَارِي بُرْهَاناً ضِدِّي، | ٥ |
6 then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.
| فَاعْلَمُوا إِذاً أَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعَنِي فِي الْخَطَأِ وَأَلْقَى شِبَاكَهُ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ |
7 Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
| هَا إِنِّي أَسْتَغِيثُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَلا مُجِيبَ، وَأَهْتِفُ عَالِياً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْصِفٍ. | ٧ |
8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.
| قَدْ سَيَّجَ عَلَى طَرِيقِي فَلا أَعْبُرُ، وَخَيَّمَ عَلَى سُبُلِي بِالظُّلُمَاتِ. | ٨ |
9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
| جَرَّدَنِي مِنْ مَجْدِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجِي عَنْ رَأْسِي. | ٩ |
10 He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، فَتَلاشَيْتُ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ مِثْلَ غَرْسٍ رَجَائِي. | ١٠ |
11 His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
| أَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ وَحَسِبَنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ |
12 His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and encamp around my tent.
| زَحَفَتْ قُوَّاتُهُ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِيُمَهِّدُوا طَرِيقَ حِصَارٍ ضِدِّي، وَعَسْكَرُوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ |
13 He has removed my brothers from me; my acquaintances have abandoned me.
| أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، فَاعْتَزَلَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. | ١٣ |
14 My kinsmen have failed me, and my friends have forgotten me.
| خَذَلَنِي ذَوُو قَرَابَتِي وَنَسِيَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي. | ١٤ |
15 My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger; I am a foreigner in their sight.
| وَحَسِبَنِي ضُيُوفِي وَإِمَائِي غَرِيباً، أَصْبَحْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَجْنَبِيًّا. | ١٥ |
16 I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.
| أَدْعُو خَادِمِي فَلا يُجِيبُ، مَعَ أَنِّي تَوَسَّلْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
| عَافَتْ زَوْجَتِي رَائِحَةَ أَنْفَاسِي الْخَبِيثَةَ، وَكَرِهَنِي إخْوَتِي فَابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 Even little boys scorn me; when I appear, they deride me.
| حَتَّى الصِّبْيَانُ يَزْدَرُونَنِي. إذَا قُمْتُ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنِّي. | ١٨ |
19 All my best friends despise me, and those I love have turned against me.
| مَقَتَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي الْحَمِيمُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ انْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 My skin and flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
| لَصِقَتْ عِظَامِي بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي! | ٢٠ |
21 Have pity on me, my friends, have pity, for the hand of God has struck me.
| ارْفُقُوا بِي يَا أَصْدِقَائِي، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَطَّمَتْنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا يُطَارِدُنِي اللهُ؟ أَلا تَشْبَعُونَ أَبَداً مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,
| مَنْ لِي بِأَنْ تُدَوَّنَ أَقْوَالِي! يَا لَيْتَهَا تُسَجَّلُ فِي كِتَابٍ! | ٢٣ |
24 by an iron stylus on lead, or chiseled in stone forever.
| يَا لَيْتَهَا تُنْقَشُ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ عَلَى صَخْرٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! | ٢٤ |
25 But I know that my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the earth.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي مُوْقِنٌ أَنَّ فَادِيَّ حَيٌّ، وَأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ فِي النِّهَايَةِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 Even after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَفْنَى جِلْدِي، فَإِنِّي بِذَاتِي أُعَايِنُ اللهَ. | ٢٦ |
27 I will see Him for myself; my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger. How my heart yearns within me!
| الَّذِي أُشَاهِدُهُ لِنَفْسِي فَتَنْظُرُهُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَيْسَ عَيْنَا آخَرَ، قَدْ فَنِيَتْ كُلْيَتَايَ شَوْقاً فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٧ |
28 If you say, ‘Let us persecute him, since the root of the matter lies with him,’
| وَإِنْ قُلْتُمْ مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ لِنَضْطَهِدَهُ، لأَنَّ مَصْدَرَ الْمَتَاعِبِ كَامِنٌ فِيهِ؟ | ٢٨ |
29 then you should fear the sword yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgment.”
| فَاخْشَوْا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ الْغَيْظَ يَجْلِبُ عِقَابَ السَّيْفِ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ هُنَاكَ قَضَاءً». | ٢٩ |
