< Job 35 >

1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو وَقَالَ:١
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
«أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا حَقًّا؟ قُلْتَ: أَنَا أَبَرُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ.٢
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: مَاذَا يُفِيدُكَ؟ بِمَاذَا أَنْتَفِعُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي؟٣
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
أَنَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ كَلَامًا، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ مَعَكَ.٤
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَأَبْصِرْ، وَلَاحِظِ ٱلْغَمَامَ. إِنَّهَا أَعْلَى مِنْكَ.٥
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتَ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ مَعَاصِيَكَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ لَهُ؟٦
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
إِنْ كُنْتَ بَارًّا فَمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟٧
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلِكَ شَرُّكَ، وَلِٱبْنِ آدَمَ بِرُّكَ.٨
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
«مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمَظَالِمِ يَصْرُخُونَ. يَسْتَغِيثُونَ مِنْ ذِرَاعِ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ.٩
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ ٱللهُ صَانِعِي، مُؤْتِي ٱلْأَغَانِيِّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ،١٠
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُنَا أَحْكَمَ مِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟١١
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
ثَمَّ يَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ.١٢
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَذِبًا، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ.١٣
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
فَإِذَا قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَرَاهُ، فَٱلدَّعْوَى قُدَّامَهُ، فَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ.١٤
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَا يُطَالِبُ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلزَّلَّاتِ،١٥
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَكَبَّرَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ».١٦
