< Job 26 >

1 Then Job answered, and said:
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ:١
2 Whose helper art thou? is it of him that is weak? and dost thou hold up the arm of him that has no strength?
«كَيْفَ أَعَنْتَ مَنْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ، وَخَلَّصْتَ ذِرَاعًا لَا عِزَّ لَهَا؟٢
3 To whom hast thou given counsel? perhaps to him that hath no wisdom, and thou hast shewn thy very great prudence.
كَيْفَ أَشَرْتَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا حِكْمَةَ لَهُ، وَأَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْفَهْمَ بِكَثْرَةٍ؟٣
4 Whom hast thou desired to teach? was it not him that made life?
لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالًا، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟٤
5 Behold the giants groan under the waters, and they that dwell with them.
«اَلْأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا.٥
6 Hell is naked before him, and there is no covering for destruction. (Sheol h7585)
ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 He stretched out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
يَمُدُّ ٱلشَّمَالَ عَلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ.٧
8 He bindeth up the waters in his clouds, so that they break not out and fall down together.
يَصُرُّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلَا يَتَمَزَّقُ ٱلْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.٨
9 He withholdeth the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud over it.
يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ.٩
10 He hath set bounds about the waters, till light and darkness come to an end.
رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ ٱتِّصَالِ ٱلنُّورِ بِٱلظُّلْمَةِ.١٠
11 The pillars of heaven tremble, and dread at his beck.
أَعْمِدَةُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ.١١
12 By his power the seas are suddenly gathered together, and his wisdom has struck the proud one.
بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.١٢
13 His spirit hath adorned the heavens, and his obstetric hand brought forth the winding serpent.
بِنَفْخَتِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا ٱلْحَيَّةَ ٱلْهَارِبَةَ.١٣
14 Lo, these things are said in part of his ways: and seeing we have heard scarce a little drop of his word, who shall be able to behold the thunder of his greatness?
هَا هَذِهِ أَطْرَافُ طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَضَ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا رَعْدُ جَبَرُوتِهِ فَمَنْ يَفْهَمُ؟».١٤
