< Job 36 >

1 Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
وَعَادَ أَلِيهُو فَقَالَ:١
2 Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
«ٱصْبِرْ عَلَيَّ قَلِيلًا، فَأُبْدِيَ لَكَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدُ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ كَلَامٌ.٢
3 I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
أَحْمِلُ مَعْرِفَتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَنْسُبُ بِرًّا لِصَانِعِي.٣
4 For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
حَقًّا لَا يَكْذِبُ كَلَامِي. صَحِيحُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ عِنْدَكَ.٤
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَزِيزٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَرْذُلُ أَحَدًا. عَزِيزُ قُدْرَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ.٥
6 He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
لَا يُحْيي ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، بَلْ يُجْرِي قَضَاءَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ.٦
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
لَا يُحَوِّلُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ ٱلْبَارِّ، بَلْ مَعَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ يُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ أَبَدًا، فَيَرْتَفِعُونَ.٧
8 And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
إِنْ أُوثِقُوا بِٱلْقُيُودِ، إِنْ أُخِذُوا فِي حِبَالَةِ ٱلذِّلِّ،٨
9 Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
فَيُظْهِرُ لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَمَعَاصِيَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَجَبَّرُوا،٩
10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِلْإِنْذَارِ، وَيَأْمُرُ بِأَنْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمِ.١٠
11 If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَأَطَاعُوا قَضَوْا أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ وَسِنِيهِمْ بِٱلنِّعَمِ.١١
12 But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، فَبِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ يَزُولُونَ، وَيَمُوتُونَ بِعَدَمِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ.١٢
13 But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
أَمَّا فُجَّارُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ غَضَبًا. لَا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ إِذَا هُوَ قَيَّدَهُمْ.١٣
14 Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
تَمُوتُ نَفْسُهُمْ فِي ٱلصِّبَا وَحَيَاتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ.١٤
15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
يُنَجِّي ٱلْبَائِسَ فِي ذِلِّهِ، وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ.١٥
16 Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
«وَأَيْضًا يَقُودُكَ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ لَا حَصْرَ فِيهِ، وَيَمْلَأُ مَؤُونَةَ مَائِدَتِكَ دُهْنًا.١٦
17 But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
حُجَّةَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ أَكْمَلْتَ، فَٱلْحُجَّةُ وَٱلْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ.١٧
18 For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
عِنْدَ غَضَبِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَقُودُكَ بِصَفْقَةٍ. فَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْفِدْيَةِ لَا تَفُكُّكَ.١٨
19 Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
هَلْ يَعْتَبِرُ غِنَاكَ؟ لَا ٱلتِّبْرَ وَلَا جَمِيعَ قُوَى ٱلثَّرْوَةِ!١٩
20 Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
لَا تَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ شُعُوبًا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهِمْ.٢٠
21 Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
اِحْذَرْ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ لِأَنَّكَ ٱخْتَرْتَ هَذَا عَلَى ٱلذِّلِّ.٢١
22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ يَتَعَالَى بِقُدْرَتِهِ. مَنْ مِثْلُهُ مُعَلِّمًا؟٢٢
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ طَرِيقَهُ، أَوْ مَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ شَرًّا؟٢٣
24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
اُذْكُرْ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُغَنِّي بِهِ ٱلنَّاسُ.٢٤
25 All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُبْصِرُ بِهِ. ٱلنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.٢٥
26 Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَظِيمٌ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُفْحَصُ.٢٦
27 When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
لِأَنَّهُ يَجْذُبُ قِطَارَ ٱلْمَاءِ. تَسُحُّ مَطَرًا مِنْ ضَبَابِهَا٢٧
28 Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
ٱلَّذِي تَهْطِلُهُ ٱلسُّحُبُ وَتَقْطُرُهُ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ كَثِيرِينَ.٢٨
29 Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
فَهَلْ يُعَلِّلُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ شَقِّ ٱلْغَيْمِ أَوْ قَصِيفِ مِظَلَّتِهِ؟٢٩
30 Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
هُوَذَا بَسَطَ نُورَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَغَطَّى بِأُصُولِ ٱلْيَمِّ.٣٠
31 For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
لِأَنَّهُ بِهَذِهِ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ، وَيَرْزُقُ ٱلْقُوتَ بِكَثْرَةٍ.٣١
32 He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
يُغَطِّي كَفَّيْهِ بِٱلنُّورِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ.٣٢
33 His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
يُخْبِرُ بِهِ رَعْدُهُ، ٱلْمَوَاشِيَ أَيْضًا بِصُعُودِهِ.٣٣
