< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
أَيُّوبُ١
2 I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
«قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلا يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.٢
3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
تَسْأَلُنِي: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْمَشُورَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ حَقّاً قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا، بِعَجَائِبَ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكِي.٣
4 Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
اسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، أَسْأَلُكَ وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنِي.٤
5 With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي،٥
6 Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
لِذَلِكَ أَلُومُ نَفْسِي وَأَتُوبُ مُعَفِّراً ذَاتِي بِالتُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ».٦
7 And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath.
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 Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.
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 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ. وَأَكْرَمَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ.٩
10 The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord 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 came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold.
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 the Lord 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 names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.
فَدَعَا الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَالثَّانِيَةَ قَصِيعَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.١٤
15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful 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 these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, unto the fourth generation,
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ تَجْرِبَتِهِ مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِرُؤْيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ وَأَحْفَادِهِ إِلَى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ.١٦
17 and he died an old man, and full of days.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخاً، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ.١٧
