Job 3
1 Afterward Iob opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
| ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ أَيُّوبُ، فَشَتَمَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ، | ١ |
2 And Iob cryed out, and sayd,
| وَقَالَ: | ٢ |
3 Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night when it was sayde, There is a man childe conceiued.
| «لَيْتَهُ بَادَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَفَنِيَ اللَّيْلُ الَّذِي قِيلَ فِيهِ: قَدْ حُبِلَ بِطِفْلٍ ذَكَرٍ. | ٣ |
4 Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon it,
| لِيَتَحَوَّلْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ إِلَى ظَلامٍ. لَا يَرْعَاهُ اللهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلا يُشْرِقُ عَلَيْهِ نَهَارٌ. | ٤ |
5 But let darkenesse, and the shadowe of death staine it: let the cloude remayne vpon it, and let them make it fearefull as a bitter day.
| لِيَسْتَوْلِ عَلَيْهِ الظَّلامُ وَظِلُّ الْمَوْتِ. لِيَكْتَنِفْهُ سَحَابٌ وَلْتُرَوِّعْهُ ظُلُمَاتُ النَّهَارِ. | ٥ |
6 Let darkenesse possesse that night, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, nor let it come into the count of the moneths.
| أَمَّا ذَلِكَ اللَّيْلُ فَلْيَعْتَقِلْهُ الدُّجَى الْمُتَكَاثِفُ، وَلا يَبْتَهِجْ مَعَ سَائِرِ أَيَّامِ السَّنَةِ، وَلا يُحْصَ فِي عَدَدِ الشُّهُورِ. | ٦ |
7 Yea, desolate be that night, and let no ioy be in it.
| لِيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ اللَّيْلُ عَاقِراً، لَا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِيهِ هُتَافٌ. | ٧ |
8 Let them that curse the day, (being readie to renue their mourning) curse it.
| لِيَلْعَنْهُ السَّحَرَةُ الْحَاذِقُونَ فِي إِيْقَاظِ التِّنِّينِ! | ٨ |
9 Let the starres of that twilight be dimme through darkenesse of it: let it looke for light, but haue none: neither let it see the dawning of the day,
| لِتُظْلِمْ كَوَاكِبُ شَفَقِهِ، وَلْيَرْتَقِبِ النُّورَ مِنْ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ، وَلا يَرَ هُدُبَ الْفَجْرِ، | ٩ |
10 Because it shut not vp the dores of my mothers wombe: nor hid sorowe from mine eyes.
| لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغْلِقْ رَحِمَ أُمِّي وَلَمْ يَسْتُرِ الشَّقَاءَ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ. | ١٠ |
11 Why died I not in the birth? or why dyed I not, when I came out of the wombe?
| لِمَ لَمْ أَمُتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ، وَلِمَ لَمْ أُسْلِمِ الرُّوحَ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي؟ | ١١ |
12 Why did the knees preuent me? and why did I sucke the breasts?
| لِمَاذَا وَجَدْتُ الرُّكَبَ لِتُعِينَنَي وَالثُّدِيَّ لِتُرْضِعَنِي؟ | ١٢ |
13 For so shoulde I now haue lyen and bene quiet, I should haue slept then, and bene at rest,
| وَإلَّا لَظَلَلْتُ مُضْطَجِعاً سَاكِناً، وَلَكُنْتُ نَائِماً مُسْتَرِيحاً | ١٣ |
14 With the Kings and counselers of the earth, which haue buylded themselues desolate places:
| مَعَ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ وَمُشِيرِيهَا، الَّذِينَ بَنَوْا أَهْرَاماً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ. | ١٤ |
15 Or with the princes that had golde, and haue filled their houses with siluer.
| أَوْ مَعَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَنَزُوا ذَهَباً وَمَلأُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ فِضَّةً. | ١٥ |
16 Or why was I not hid, as an vntimely birth, either as infants, which haue not seene the light?
| أَوْ لِمَاذَا لَمْ أُطْمَرْ فِي الأَرْضِ كَسِقْطٍ لَمْ يَرَ النُّورَ؟ | ١٦ |
17 The wicked haue there ceased from their tyrannie, and there they that laboured valiantly, are at rest.
| فَهُنَاكَ يَكُفُّ الأَشْرَارُ عَنْ إِثَارَةِ الْمَتَاعِبِ، وَهُنَاكَ يَرْتَاحُ الْمُرْهَقُونَ. | ١٧ |
18 The prisoners rest together, and heare not the voyce of the oppressour.
| هُنَاكَ يَطْمَئِنُّ الأَسْرَى جَمِيعاً، إِذْ لَا يُلاحِقُهُمْ صَوْتُ الْمُسَخِّرِ. | ١٨ |
19 There are small and great, and the seruant is free from his master.
| هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الصَّغِيرُ كَالْكَبِيرِ، وَالْعَبْدُ مُتَحَرِّراً مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. | ١٩ |
20 Wherefore is the light giuen to him that is in miserie? and life vnto them that haue heauie hearts?
| لِمَ يُوْهَبُ الشَّقِيُّ نُوراً، وَذَوُو النُّفُوسِ الْمُرَّةِ حَيَاةً؟ | ٢٠ |
21 Which long for death, and if it come not, they would euen search it more then treasures:
| الَّذِينَ يَتُوقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ فَلا يُقْبِلُ، وَيَنْقُبُونَ عَنْهُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَنْقُبُونَ عَنِ الْكُنُوزِ الْخَفِيَّةِ، | ٢١ |
22 Which ioy for gladnes, and reioyce, when they can finde the graue.
| الَّذِينَ يَنْتَشُونَ غِبْطَةً، وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ حِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ عَلَى ضَرِيحٍ! | ٢٢ |
23 Why is the light giuen to the man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
| بَلْ لِمَاذَا يُوْهَبُ نُورٌ وَحَيَاةٌ لِرَجُلٍ ضَلَّتْ بِهِ طَرِيقُهُ، وَسَدَّ اللهُ حَوْلَهُ؟ | ٢٣ |
24 For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the water.
| اسْتَبْدَلْتُ طَعَامِي بِالأَنِينِ، وَزَفْرَتِي تَنْسَكِبُ كَالْمِيَاهِ، | ٢٤ |
25 For the thing I feared, is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
| لأَنَّهُ قَدْ حَلَّ بِي مَا كُنْتُ أَخْشَاهُ، وَأَصَابَنِي مَا كُنْتُ أَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهُ. | ٢٥ |
26 I had no peace, neither had I quietnesse, neither had I rest, yet trouble is come.
| فَلا طُمَأْنِينَةَ لِي وَلا اسْتَقْرَارَ وَلا رَاحَةَ، بَعْدَ أَنِ اجْتَاحَتْنِي الْكُرُوبُ». | ٢٦ |
