< Job 32 >

1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.
فَكَفَّ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُقْتَنِعاً بِبَرَاءَةِ نَفْسِهِ.١
2 Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ أَلِيهُو بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيِّ، مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ، احْتَدَمَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ ظَنَّ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ،٢
3 Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.
كَمَا غَضِبَ أَيْضاً عَلَى أَصْحَابِ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ عَجَزُوا عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَذْنَبُوهُ.٣
4 (Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)
وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ لَزِمَ الصَّمْتَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ سِنّاً.٤
5 So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.
وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ الثَّلاثَةَ قَدْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِجَابَةِ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ بِغَضَبٍ مُحْتَدِمٍ:٥
6 Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.
«أَنَا صَغِيرُ السِّنِّ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِذَلِكَ تَهَيَّبْتُ وَخِفْتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِي،٦
7 For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.
قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِي:’لِتَتَكَلَّمِ الأَيَّامُ، وَلْتُلَقِّنْ كَثْرَةُ السِّنِينَ حِكْمَةً.‘٧
8 Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.
وَلَكِنَّ الرُّوحَ الَّذِي فِي الإِنْسَانِ، وَنَسَمَةَ الْقَدِيرِ، تُعْطِي الإِنْسَانَ فَهْماً.٨
9 Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.
لَيْسَ الْمُسِنُّونَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الْحُكَمَاءَ، وَلا الشُّيُوخُ فَقَطْ يُدْرِكُونَ الْحَقَّ.٩
10 Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.
لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ: أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ لأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا أَعْرِفُ.١٠
11 Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.
لَقَدْ أَنْصَتُّ بِصَبْرٍ حِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ، وَاسْتَمَعْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حِينَ بَحَثْتُمْ عَنِ الْكَلامِ،١١
12 Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:
وَأَوْلَيْتُكُمُ انْتِبَاهِي، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي كَلامِكُمْ مَا أَفْحَمَ أَيُّوبَ، أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَى أَقْوَالِهِ.١٢
13 Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.
احْتَرِسُوا لِئَلّا تَقُولُوا إِنَّنَا قَدْ أَحْرَزْنَا حِكْمَةً، فَالرَّبُّ يُفْحِمُ أَيُّوبَ لَا الإِنْسَانُ.١٣
14 Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.
إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَيَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ أُجِيبَهُ بِمِثْلِ كَلامِكُمْ.١٤
15 Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.
لَقَدْ تَحَيَّرُوا، يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا إِذْ أَعْيَاهُمُ النُّطْقُ،١٥
16 When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)
فَهَلْ أَصْمُتُ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَهَلْ أَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ؟١٦
17 Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.
لا، سَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضاً وَأُبْدِي رَأْيِي،١٧
18 For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.
لأَنِّي أَفِيضُ كَلاماً، وَالرُّوحُ فِي دَاخِلِي يُحَفِّزُنِي.١٨
19 Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.
انْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ، وَكَزِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ تَكَادُ تَنْشَقُّ!١٩
20 Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.
فَلأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ لأُفَرِّجَ عَنْ نَفْسِي، أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ لأُجِيبَ.٢٠
21 I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.
لَنْ أُحَابِيَ إِنْسَاناً أَوْ أَتَمَلَّقَ أَحَداً.٢١
22 For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.
لأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ التَّمَلُّقَ، وَإلَّا يَقْضِي عَلَيَّ صَانِعِي سَرِيعاً.٢٢
