< Job 37 >

1 At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
لِذَلِكَ يَرْتَعِدُ قَلْبِي وَيَثِبُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ.١
2 Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
فَأَنْصِتْ، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَإِلَى زَمْجَرَةِ فَمِهِ.٢
3 He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
يَسْتَلُّ بُرُوقَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ كُلِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُرْسِلُهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ،٣
4 After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
فَتُدَوِّي زَمْجَرَةُ زَئِيرِهِ، وَيُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلالِهِ، وَحِينَ تَتَرَدَّدُ أَصْدَاؤُهُ لَا يَكْبَحُ جِمَاحَهَا شَيْءٌ.٤
5 God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
يُرْعِدُ اللهُ بِصَوْتِهِ صَانِعاً عَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكَنَا.٥
6 He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ اهْطِلْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلِلأَمْطَارِ: انْهَمِرِي بِشِدَّةٍ.٦
7 He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
يُوْقِفُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، لِيُدْرِكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ خَلَقَهُمْ حَقِيقَةَ قُوَّتِهِ.٧
8 Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
فَتَلْجَأُ الْوُحُوشُ إِلَى أَوْجِرَتِهَا، وَتَمْكُثُ فِي مَآوِيهَا.٨
9 Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
تُقْبِلُ الْعَاصِفَةُ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْبَرَدُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ،٩
10 When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
مِنْ نَسَمَةِ اللهِ يَتَكَوَّنُ الْجَلِيدُ، وَتَتَجَمَّدُ بِسُرْعَةٍ الْمِيَاهُ الْغَزِيرَةُ.١٠
11 Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
يَشْحَنُ السُّحُبَ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةَ بِالنَّدَى، وَيُبَعْثِرُ بَرْقَهُ بَيْنَهَا.١١
12 Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
فَتَتَحَرَّكُ كَمَا يَشَاءُ هُوَ، لِتُنَفِّذَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُهَا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ.١٢
13 Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
يُرْسِلُهَا سَوَاءٌ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لأَرْضِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ.١٣
14 Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
فَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ. وَتَوَقَّفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ فِي عَجَائِبِ اللهِ.١٤
15 Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
هَلْ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَتَحَكَّمُ اللهُ فِي السُّحُبِ، وَكَيْفَ يَجْعَلُ بُرُوقَهُ تُوْمِضُ؟١٥
16 Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
هَلْ تَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ تَتَعَلَّقُ السُّحُبُ بِتَوَازُنٍ؟ هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ الصَّادِرَةُ عَنْ كَامِلِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ!١٦
17 Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُهُ عِنْدَمَا تَرِينُ سَكِينَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِتَأْثِيرِ رِيحِ الْجَنُوبِ.١٧
18 Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
هَلْ يُمكِنُكَ مِثْلَهُ أَنْ تُصَفِّحَ الْجَلَدَ الْمُمْتَدَّ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِرْآةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ؟١٨
19 Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
أَنْبِئْنَا مَاذَا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ، فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ عَرْضَ قَضِيَّتِنَا بِسَبَبِ الظُّلْمَةِ (أَيِ الْجَهْلِ)١٩
20 Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
هَلْ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ؟ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَتَمَنَّى لِنَفْسِهِ الْهَلاكَ؟٢٠
21 But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَدِّقَ إِلَى النُّورِ عِنْدَمَا يَكُونُ مُتَوَهِّجاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الرِّيحُ قَدْ بَدَّدَتْ عَنْهُ السُّحُبَ.٢١
22 Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
يُقْبِلُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ بَهَاءٌ ذَهَبِيٌّ، إِنَّ اللهَ مُسَرْبَلٌ بِجَلالٍ مُرْهِبٍ.٢٢
23 We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
وَلا يُمْكِنُنَا إِدْرَاكُ الْقَدِيرِ، فَهُوَ مُتَعَظِّمٌ بِالْقُوَّةِ وَالْعَدْلِ وَالْبِرِّ وَلا يَجُورُ،٢٣
24 Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
لِذَلِكَ يَرْهَبُهُ الْجَمِيعُ، لأَنَّهُ يَحْتَقِرُ أَدْعِيَاءَ الْحِكْمَةِ».٢٤
