Job 26

1 Then Job made answer and said,

١ فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ:

2 How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!

٢ «كَيْفَ أَعَنْتَ مَنْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ، وَخَلَّصْتَ ذِرَاعًا لَا عِزَّ لَهَا؟

3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!

٣ كَيْفَ أَشَرْتَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا حِكْمَةَ لَهُ، وَأَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْفَهْمَ بِكَثْرَةٍ؟

4 To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

٤ لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالًا، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟

5 The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.

٥ «اَلْأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا.

6 The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)

٦ ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ. (Sheol h7585)

7 By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.

٧ يَمُدُّ ٱلشَّمَالَ عَلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ.

8 By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.

٨ يَصُرُّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلَا يَتَمَزَّقُ ٱلْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.

9 By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.

٩ يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ.

10 By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.

١٠ رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ ٱتِّصَالِ ٱلنُّورِ بِٱلظُّلْمَةِ.

11 The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.

١١ أَعْمِدَةُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ.

12 By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.

١٢ بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.

13 By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.

١٣ بِنَفْخَتِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا ٱلْحَيَّةَ ٱلْهَارِبَةَ.

14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

١٤ هَا هَذِهِ أَطْرَافُ طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَضَ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا رَعْدُ جَبَرُوتِهِ فَمَنْ يَفْهَمُ؟».
