Job 24
1 Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
| لِمَاذَا إِذاً لَمْ يُحَدِّدِ الْقَدِيرُ أَزْمِنَةَ الْمُحَاكَمَةِ، وَلِمَاذَا لَا يَرَى مُتَّقُوهُ يَوْمَهُ؟ | ١ |
2 Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
| يَنْقُلُ النَّاسُ التُّخُومَ، وَيَغْتَصِبُونَ الْقُطْعَانَ وَيَرْعَوْنَهَا. | ٢ |
3 They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
| يَأْخُذُونَ حِمَارَ الأَيْتَامِ وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ ثَوْرَ الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٣ |
4 They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
| يَصُدُّونَ الْمَسَاكِينَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ، فَيَخْتَبِئُ فُقَرَاءُ الأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً. | ٤ |
5 Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
| انْظُرُوا فَهَا هُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى عَمَلِهِمْ كَالْحِمَارِ الْوَحْشِيِّ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ يَطْلُبُونَ فِي الْقَفْرِ صَيْداً، لِيَكُونَ طَعَاماً لأَبْنَائِهِمْ، | ٥ |
6 They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
| يَجْمَعُونَ عَلَفَهُمْ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ وَيَقْطُفُونَ كَرْمَ الشِّرِّيرِ. | ٦ |
7 They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
| يَرْقُدُونَ اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ عُرَاةً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَسْوَةٍ تَقِيهِمْ قَسْوَةَ الْبَرْدِ. | ٧ |
8 They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
| يَبْتَلُّونَ مِنْ مَطَرِ الْجِبَالِ، وَيَرْكَنُونَ إِلَى الصَّخْرِ لاِفْتِقَارِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَأْوَى. | ٨ |
9 They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
| يَخْطِفُونَ الْيَتَامَى عَنِ الثُّدِيِّ، وَيَرْتَهِنُونَ طِفْلَ الْمِسْكِينِ، | ٩ |
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
| يَطُوفُونَ عُرَاةً بِلا كِسَاءٍ، جِيَاعاً حَامِلِينَ الْحُزَمَ. | ١٠ |
11 They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
| يَعْصِرُونَ الزَّيْتَ بَيْنَ أَتْلامِ زَيْتُونِ الأَشْرَارِ، وَيَدُوسُونَ مَعَاصِرَ الْخَمْرِ وَهُمْ عِطَاشٌ. | ١١ |
12 Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
| يَرْتَفِعُ مِنَ الْمُدُنِ أَنِينُ الْمُشْرِفِينَ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَتَسْتَغِيثُ نُفُوسُ الْجَرْحَى، وَاللهُ لَا يُصْغِي إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
| هُنَاكَ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِيِنَ عَلَى النُّورِ، فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا طُرُقَهَ، وَلَمْ يَمْكُثُوا فِي سُبُلِهِ. | ١٣ |
14 The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
| عِنْدَ مَطْلَعِ النُّورِ يَنْهَضُ الْقَاتِلُ وَيُهْلِكُ الْبَائِسَ وَالْمُحْتَاجَ، وَفِي اللَّيْلِ يَغْدُو لِصّاً. | ١٤ |
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
| يَنْتَظِرُ الزَّانِي حُلُولَ الْعَتَمَةِ فَيَتَقَنَّعُ قَائِلاً: لَنْ تُبْصِرَنِي عَيْنٌ. | ١٥ |
16 They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
| يَنْقُبُونَ البُيُوتَ لَيْلاً، وَفِي النَّهَارِ يُغْلِقُونَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَلا يَعْرِفُونَ النُّورَ، | ١٦ |
17 But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
| لأَنَّ الصَّبَاحَ عِنْدَهُمْ كَظِلِّ الْمَوْتِ، وَأَهْوَالُ الظُّلْمَةِ هِيَ رِفْقَتُهُمْ. | ١٧ |
18 He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
| يَنْجَرِفُونَ لِخِفَّتِهِمْ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ، وَنَصِيبُهُمْ مَلْعُونٌ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَتَوَجَّهُ نَحْوَ كُرُومِهِمْ. | ١٨ |
19 As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
| وَكَمَا أَنَّ الْقَحْطَ وَالْقَيْظَ يَذْهَبَانِ بِمِيَاهِ الثَّلْجِ، كَذَلِكَ تَذْهَبُ الْهَاوِيَةُ بِالْخَاطِئِ، (Sheol h7585) | ١٩ |
20 The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
| تَنْسَاهُ الرَّحِمُ وَيَسْتَطِيبُهُ الدُّودُ، وَلا أَحَدَ يَذْكُرُ الأَشْرَارَ فِيمَا بَعْدُ، فَيَكُونُونَ كَشَجَرَةٍ مُقْتَلَعَةٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
| يُسِيئُونَ إِلَى الْعَاقِرِ الَّتِي لَمْ تَلِدْ، وَلا يُحْسِنُونَ إِلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ. | ٢١ |
22 He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
| اللهُ فِي جَلالِهِ يُدَمِّرُ الْقَوِيَّ وَيُمِيتُهُ. | ٢٢ |
23 Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
| يَمْنَحُهُمْ طُمَأْنِينَةً تَرْكَنُ إِلَيْهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ، لَكِنَّ عَيْنَيْهِ تُرَاقِبانِ طُرُقَهُمْ. | ٢٣ |
24 They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
| تَشَامَخُوا لِلَحْظَةٍ ثُمَّ تَلاشَوْا، انْحَطُّوا وَجُمِعُوا كَالأَشْيَاءِ الأُخْرَى، بَلْ حُصِدُوا كَرُؤُوسِ السَّنَابِلِ؛ | ٢٤ |
25 But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
| وَإلَّا، مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَيَجْعَلَ كَلامِي كَالْعَدَمِ؟» | ٢٥ |
