< Job 15 >

1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَقَالَ:١
2 Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?
«أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْحَكِيمَ يُجِيبُ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، وَيَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ مِنْ رِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ،٢
3 Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?
فَيَحْتَجَّ بِكَلَامٍ لَا يُفِيدُ، وَبِأَحَادِيثَ لَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا؟٣
4 Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُنَافِي ٱلْمَخَافَةَ، وَتُنَاقِضُ ٱلتَّقْوَى لَدَى ٱللهِ.٤
5 For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.
لِأَنَّ فَمَكَ يُذِيعُ إِثْمَكَ، وَتَخْتَارُ لِسَانَ ٱلْمُحْتَالِينَ.٥
6 Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.
إِنَّ فَمَكَ يَسْتَذْنِبُكَ، لَا أَنَا، وَشَفَتَاكَ تَشْهَدَانِ عَلَيْكَ.٦
7 Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?
«أَصُوِّرْتَ أَوَّلَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَمْ أُبْدِئْتَ قَبْلَ ٱلتِّلَالِ؟٧
8 Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?
هَلْ تَنَصَّتَّ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱللهِ، أَوْ قَصَرْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ؟٨
9 What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?
مَاذَا تَعْرِفُهُ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ نَحْنُ؟ وَمَاذَا تَفْهَمُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ عِنْدَنَا؟٩
10 With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.
عِنْدَنَا ٱلشَّيْخُ وَٱلْأَشْيَبُ، أَكْبَرُ أَيَّامًا مِنْ أَبِيكَ.١٠
11 Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?
أَقَلِيلَةٌ عِنْدَكَ تَعْزِيَاتُ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ مَعَكَ بِٱلرِّفْقِ؟١١
12 Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,
«لِمَاذَا يَأْخُذُكَ قَلْبُكَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَخْتَلِجُ عَيْنَاكَ١٢
13 That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?
حَتَّى تَرُدَّ عَلَى ٱللهِ وَتُخْرِجَ مِنْ فِيكَ أَقْوَالًا؟١٣
14 What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?
مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ حَتَّى يَزْكُوَ، أَوْ مَوْلُودُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى يَتَبَرَّرَ؟١٤
15 Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
هُوَذَا قِدِّيسُوهُ لَا يَأْتَمِنُهُمْ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ غَيْرُ طَاهِرَةٍ بِعَيْنَيْهِ،١٥
16 How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
فَبِالْحَرِيِّ مَكْرُوهٌ وَفَاسِدٌ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلشَّارِبُ ٱلْإِثْمَ كَٱلْمَاءِ!١٦
17 I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:
«أُوحِي إِلَيْكَ، ٱسْمَعْ لِي فَأُحَدِّثَ بِمَا رَأَيْتُهُ،١٧
18 Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:
مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ حُكَمَاءُ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَكْتُمُوهُ.١٨
19 To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.
ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ أُعْطِيَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَلَمْ يَعْبُرْ بَيْنَهُمْ غَرِيبٌ.١٩
20 The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.
ٱلشِّرِّيرُ هُوَ يَتَلَوَّى كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ، وَكُلَّ عَدَدِ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلْمَعْدُودَةِ لِلْعَاتِي.٢٠
21 A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
صَوْتُ رُعُوبٍ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ. فِي سَاعَةِ سَلَامٍ يَأْتِيهِ ٱلْمُخَرِّبُ.٢١
22 He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.
لَا يَأْمُلُ ٱلرُّجُوعَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَهُوَ مُرْتَقَبٌ لِلسَّيْفِ.٢٢
23 He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.
تَائِهٌ هُوَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْخُبْزِ حَيْثُمَا يَجِدْهُ، وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ مُهَيَّأٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ.٢٣
24 Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.
يُرْهِبُهُ ٱلضُّرُّ وَٱلضَّيْقُ. يَتَجَبَّرَانِ عَلَيْهِ كَمَلِكٍ مُسْتَعِدٍّ لِلْوَغَى.٢٤
25 For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.
لِأَنَّهُ مَدَّ عَلَى ٱللهِ يَدَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ تَجَبَّرَ٢٥
26 Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.
عَادِيًا عَلَيْهِ، مُتَصَلِّبُ ٱلْعُنُقِ بِأَوْقَافِ مَجَانِّهِ مُعَبَّأَةً.٢٦
27 Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.
لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَسَا وَجْهَهُ سَمْنًا، وَرَبَّى شَحْمًا عَلَى كِلْيَتَيْهِ،٢٧
28 Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,
فَيَسْكُنُ مُدُنًا خَرِبَةً، بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ عَتِيدَةً أَنْ تَصِيرَ رُجَمًا.٢٨
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.
لَا يَسْتَغْنِي، وَلَا تَثْبُتُ ثَرْوَتُهُ، وَلَا يَمْتَدُّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مُقْتَنَاهُ.٢٩
30 He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.
لَا تَزُولُ عَنْهُ ٱلظُّلْمَةُ. خَرَاعِيبُهُ تُيَبِّسُهَا ٱلسُّمُومُ، وَبِنَفْخَةِ فَمِهِ يَزُولُ.٣٠
31 He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.
لَا يَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱلسُّوءِ. يَضِلُّ. لِأَنَّ ٱلسُّوءَ يَكُونُ أُجْرَتَهُ.٣١
32 His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.
قَبْلَ يَوْمِهِ يُتَوَفَّى، وَسَعَفُهُ لَا يَخْضَرُّ.٣٢
33 God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.
يُسَاقِطُ كَٱلْجَفْنَةِ حِصْرِمَهُ، وَيَنْثُرُ كَٱلزَّيْتُونِ زَهْرُهُ.٣٣
34 For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.
لِأَنَّ جَمَاعَةَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ عَاقِرٌ، وَٱلنَّارُ تَأْكُلُ خِيَامَ ٱلرَّشْوَةِ.٣٤
35 For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.
حَبِلَ شَقَاوَةً وَوَلَدَ إِثْمًا، وَبَطْنُهُ أَنْشَأَ غِشًّا».٣٥
