Job 37
1 At this my heart trembles, beating rapidly within me!
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْتَعِدُ قَلْبِي وَيَثِبُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ. | ١ |
2 Listen carefully to God's thunderous voice that rumbles as he speaks.
| فَأَنْصِتْ، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَإِلَى زَمْجَرَةِ فَمِهِ. | ٢ |
3 He sends it across the heaven; his lightning flashes to the ends of the earth.
| يَسْتَلُّ بُرُوقَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ كُلِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُرْسِلُهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، | ٣ |
4 Then comes the roar of thunder, his majestic voice holding nothing back when he speaks.
| فَتُدَوِّي زَمْجَرَةُ زَئِيرِهِ، وَيُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلالِهِ، وَحِينَ تَتَرَدَّدُ أَصْدَاؤُهُ لَا يَكْبَحُ جِمَاحَهَا شَيْءٌ. | ٤ |
5 God's thunderous voice is wonderful! We can't comprehend the great things he does!
| يُرْعِدُ اللهُ بِصَوْتِهِ صَانِعاً عَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكَنَا. | ٥ |
6 He tells the snow to fall and the rain to pour down on the earth.
| يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ اهْطِلْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلِلأَمْطَارِ: انْهَمِرِي بِشِدَّةٍ. | ٦ |
7 By this he stops people working so that everyone can understand what he does.
| يُوْقِفُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، لِيُدْرِكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ خَلَقَهُمْ حَقِيقَةَ قُوَّتِهِ. | ٧ |
8 Even the animals take shelter and remain in their dens.
| فَتَلْجَأُ الْوُحُوشُ إِلَى أَوْجِرَتِهَا، وَتَمْكُثُ فِي مَآوِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 The south wind blows in storms, while the north wind blows in cold weather.
| تُقْبِلُ الْعَاصِفَةُ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْبَرَدُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، | ٩ |
10 God's breath produces ice, freezing the surface of water solid.
| مِنْ نَسَمَةِ اللهِ يَتَكَوَّنُ الْجَلِيدُ، وَتَتَجَمَّدُ بِسُرْعَةٍ الْمِيَاهُ الْغَزِيرَةُ. | ١٠ |
11 He fills the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning from them.
| يَشْحَنُ السُّحُبَ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةَ بِالنَّدَى، وَيُبَعْثِرُ بَرْقَهُ بَيْنَهَا. | ١١ |
12 They swirl around under his control; they move over all the earth as he commands.
| فَتَتَحَرَّكُ كَمَا يَشَاءُ هُوَ، لِتُنَفِّذَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُهَا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ. | ١٢ |
13 He does this to accomplish his will, either to discipline or to show his goodness.
| يُرْسِلُهَا سَوَاءٌ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لأَرْضِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ. | ١٣ |
14 Listen to this, Job! Stop for a moment and consider the wonderful things God does.
| فَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ. وَتَوَقَّفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ فِي عَجَائِبِ اللهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds, or makes his lightning flash from them?
| هَلْ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَتَحَكَّمُ اللهُ فِي السُّحُبِ، وَكَيْفَ يَجْعَلُ بُرُوقَهُ تُوْمِضُ؟ | ١٥ |
16 Do you know how clouds float in the sky—the wonderful work of him who knows everything.
| هَلْ تَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ تَتَعَلَّقُ السُّحُبُ بِتَوَازُنٍ؟ هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ الصَّادِرَةُ عَنْ كَامِلِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ! | ١٦ |
17 You know how your clothes drip with sweat when the south wind brings air that is hot and heavy.
| أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُهُ عِنْدَمَا تَرِينُ سَكِينَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِتَأْثِيرِ رِيحِ الْجَنُوبِ. | ١٧ |
18 Can you hammer out the sky so it becomes like a molten mirror, as he does?
| هَلْ يُمكِنُكَ مِثْلَهُ أَنْ تُصَفِّحَ الْجَلَدَ الْمُمْتَدَّ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِرْآةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ؟ | ١٨ |
19 So why don't you teach us what to tell God? We cannot make our case because we are in the dark!
| أَنْبِئْنَا مَاذَا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ، فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ عَرْضَ قَضِيَّتِنَا بِسَبَبِ الظُّلْمَةِ (أَيِ الْجَهْلِ) | ١٩ |
20 Should God be told that I want to speak? Anyone who wanted to would be destroyed!
| هَلْ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ؟ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَتَمَنَّى لِنَفْسِهِ الْهَلاكَ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 After all, we can't look at the sun when it blazes brightly in the sky, after the wind has cleared away the clouds.
| لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَدِّقَ إِلَى النُّورِ عِنْدَمَا يَكُونُ مُتَوَهِّجاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الرِّيحُ قَدْ بَدَّدَتْ عَنْهُ السُّحُبَ. | ٢١ |
22 Out of the north God comes shining like gold, surrounded in awesome majesty.
| يُقْبِلُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ بَهَاءٌ ذَهَبِيٌّ، إِنَّ اللهَ مُسَرْبَلٌ بِجَلالٍ مُرْهِبٍ. | ٢٢ |
23 We cannot approach the Almighty for he is far beyond us in power and justice, and doing right.
| وَلا يُمْكِنُنَا إِدْرَاكُ الْقَدِيرِ، فَهُوَ مُتَعَظِّمٌ بِالْقُوَّةِ وَالْعَدْلِ وَالْبِرِّ وَلا يَجُورُ، | ٢٣ |
24 He does not act like a tyrant—no wonder people are in awe of him, though he does not value those who think they're wise.”
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْهَبُهُ الْجَمِيعُ، لأَنَّهُ يَحْتَقِرُ أَدْعِيَاءَ الْحِكْمَةِ». | ٢٤ |
