< Job 42 >

1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَقَالَ:١
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
«قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.٢
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
فَمَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُخْفِي ٱلْقَضَاءَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْهَمْ. بِعَجَائِبَ فَوْقِي لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا.٣
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
اِسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي.٤
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
بِسَمْعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ، وَٱلْآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي.٥
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
لِذَلِكَ أَرْفُضُ وَأَنْدَمُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ».٦
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لِأَلِيفَازَ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيِّ: «قَدِ ٱحْتَمَى غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلَا صَاحِبَيْكَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ.٧
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
وَٱلْآنَ فَخُذُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، وَأَصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً لِأَجْلِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَرْفَعُ وَجْهَهُ لِئَلَّا أَصْنَعَ مَعَكُمْ حَسَبَ حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».٨
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. وَرَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهَ أَيُّوبَ.٩
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ سَبْيَ أَيُّوبَ لَمَّا صَلَّى لِأَجْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَزَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ ضِعْفًا.١٠
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِ وَكُلُّ أَخَوَاتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَثَوْا لَهُ وَعَزَّوْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَسِيطَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قُرْطًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.١١
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولَاهُ. وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَأَلْفُ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.١٢
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
وَكَانَ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ.١٣
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
وَسَمَّى ٱسْمَ ٱلْأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ قَصِيعَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.١٤
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلَاتٌ كَبَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَعْطَاهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.١٥
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ هَذَا مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَرَأَى بَنِيهِ وَبَنِي بَنِيهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ.١٦
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.١٧
