< Job 26 >

1 Job replied,
أَيُّوبُ:١
2 “How helpful you have been to this feeble man that I am. How supportive you have been to the weak.
«يَا لَكُمْ مِنْ عَوْنٍ كَبِيرٍ لِلْخَائِرِ! كَيْفَ خَلَّصْتُمْ ذِرَاعاً وَاهِيَةً!٢
3 What good advice you have given to this ignorant man, demonstrating you have so much wisdom.
أَيَّةَ مَشَورَةٍ أَسْدَيْتُمْ لِلأَحْمَقِ! أَيَّةُ مَعْرِفَةٍ صَادِقَةٍ وَافِرَةٍ زَوَّدْتُمُوهُ بِها!٣
4 Who helped you speak these words? Who inspired you to say such things?
لِمَنْ نَطَقْتُمْ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ؟ وَرُوحُ مَنْ عَبَّرتُمْ عَنْهُ؟٤
5 The dead tremble, those beneath the waters.
تَرْتَعِدُ الأَشْبَاحُ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيَاهُ وَسُكَّانُهَا.٥
6 Sheol lies naked before God, Abaddon is uncovered. (Sheol h7585)
الْهَاوِيَةُ مَكْشُوفَةٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالْهَلاكُ لَا سِتْرَ لَهُ. (Sheol h7585)٦
7 He stretches the northern sky over empty space; he hangs the world on nothing.
يَمُدُّ الشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْخَوَاءِ وَيُعَلِّقُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ.٧
8 He gathers the rain in his storm clouds which do not break under the weight.
يَصُرُّ الْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلا يَتَخَرَّقُ الْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.٨
9 He veils his throne; covering it with his clouds.
يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ عَرْشِهِ وَيَبْسُطُ فَوْقَهُ غُيُومَهُ.٩
10 On the surface of the waters he set a boundary; he set a limit dividing light from darkness.
رَسَمَ حَدّاً عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ خَطِّ اتِّصَالِ النُّورِ بِالظُّلْمَةِ.١٠
11 The pillars of heaven tremble; they shake with fear at his rebuke.
مِنْ زَجْرِهِ تَرْتَعِشُ أَعْمِدَةُ السَّمَاءِ وَتَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَقْرِيعِهِ.١١
12 He calmed the sea with his power; because he knew what to do he crushed Rahab.
بِقُوَّتِهِ يُهَدِّئُ هَيَجَانَ الْبَحْرِ وَبِحِكْمَتِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.١٢
13 The breath of his voice made the heavens beautiful; with his hand he pierced the gliding serpent.
بِنَسْمَتِهِ جَمَّلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيَدَاهُ اخْتَرَقَتَا الْحَيَّةَ الْهَارِبَةَ.١٣
14 This is just a little of all he does—what we hear of him is hardly a whisper, so who can understand his thunderous power?”
وَهَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ سِوَى أَدْنَى طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَتَ هَمْسَ كَلامِهِ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ؛ فَمَنْ يُدْرِكُ إِذاً رَعْدَ جَبَرُوتِهِ؟»١٤
