< Job 42 >

1 And Job answered Jehovah and said,
أَيُّوبُ١
2 I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.
«قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلا يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.٢
3 Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
تَسْأَلُنِي: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْمَشُورَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ حَقّاً قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا، بِعَجَائِبَ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكِي.٣
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.
اسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، أَسْأَلُكَ وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنِي.٤
5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:
بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي،٥
6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
لِذَلِكَ أَلُومُ نَفْسِي وَأَتُوبُ مُعَفِّراً ذَاتِي بِالتُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ».٦
7 And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَهَى الرَّبُّ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ لأَلِيفَازَ التَّيْمَانِيِّ: «لَقَدِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلا صَدِيقَيْكَ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالصَّوَابِ عَنِّي كَمَا نَطَقَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ.٧
8 And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.
فَخُذُوا الآنَ لَكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ وَقَرِّبُوهَا ذَبِيحَةَ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ، لِئَلّا أُعَاقِبَكُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالْحَقِّ عَنِّي كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».٨
9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ. وَأَكْرَمَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ.٩
10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
وَعِنْدَمَا صَلَّى أَيُّوبُ مِن أَجْلِ أَصْدِقَائِهِ رَدَّهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عُزْلَةِ مَنْفَاهُ، وَضَاعَفَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ.١٠
11 And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden ring.
وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ إِخْوَتُهُ وَأَخَوَاتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ السَّابِقِينَ، وَتَنَاوَلُوا مَعَهُ طَعَاماً فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَبْدَوْا لَهُ كُلَّ رِفْقٍ، وَعَزُّوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَنْزَلَهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَلْوَى، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَعْضَ الْمَالِ وَخَاتَماً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.١١
12 And Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولاهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ وَسِتَّةُ آلافٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَلْفُ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.١٢
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
وَرَزَقَهُ اللهُ سَبْعَةَ بَنِينَ وَثَلاثَ بَنَاتٍ،١٣
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
فَدَعَا الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَالثَّانِيَةَ قَصِيعَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.١٤
15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
وَلَمْ تُوْجَدْ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلادِ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلاتٌ مِثْلَ بَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ، وَوَهَبَهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثاً بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.١٥
16 And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ تَجْرِبَتِهِ مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِرُؤْيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ وَأَحْفَادِهِ إِلَى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ.١٦
17 And Job died, old and full of days.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخاً، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ.١٧
