Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
| وَاسْتَطْرَدَ أَلِيهُو: | ١ |
2 Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
| «تَحَمَّلْنِي قَلِيلاً فَأَزِيدَكَ اطِّلاعاً، فَمَازَالَ عِنْدِي مَا أَقُولُهُ نِيَابَةً عَنِ اللهِ، | ٢ |
3 I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
| لأَنِّي أَتَلَقَّى عِلْمِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَأَعْزُو بِرّاً لِصَانِعِي. | ٣ |
4 For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
| حَقّاً إِنَّ كَلامِي صَادِقٌ، لأَنَّ الْكَامِلَ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ حَاضِرٌ مَعَكَ. | ٤ |
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
| اللهُ قَدِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَحْتَقِرُ الإِنْسَانَ، هُوَ قَدِيرٌ عَظِيمُ الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْفَهْمِ. | ٥ |
6 He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
| لَا يُبْقِي عَلَى حَيَاةِ الشِّرِّيرِ إِنَّمَا يَقْضِي حَقَّ الْبَائِسِينَ. | 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 يَغُضُّ طَرْفَهُ عَنِ الصِّدِّيقِينَ، بَلْ يُقِيمُهُمْ مَعَ الْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْعُرُوشِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ فَيَتَعَظَّمُونَ. | ٧ |
8 And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
| وَإِنْ رُبِطُوا بِالْقُيُودِ، وَوَقَعُوا فِي حِبَالِ الشَّقَاءِ، | ٨ |
9 Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يُبْدِي لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَآثَامَهُمْ إِذْ سَلَكُوا بِغُرُورٍ. | ٩ |
10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
| يَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِتَحْذِيرَاتِهِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالتَّوْبَةِ عَنْ إِثْمِهِمْ. | ١٠ |
11 If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
| فَإِنْ أَطَاعُوا وَعَبَدُوهُ، يَقْضُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ بِرَغْدٍ، وَسِنِيهِمْ بِالنِّعَمِ. | ١١ |
12 But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
| وَلَكِنْ إِنْ عَصَوْا فَبِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ يَهْلِكُوا، وَيَمُوتُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ فَهْمٍ. | ١٢ |
13 But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
| أَمَّا فُجَّارُ الْقُلُوبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ غَضَباً، وَلا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِاللهِ حِينَ يُعَاقِبُهُمْ. | ١٣ |
14 Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
| يَمُوتُونَ فِي الصِّبَا بَيْنَ مَأْبُونِي الْمَعَابِدِ. | ١٤ |
15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
| أَمَّا الْمُبْتَلَوْنَ فَيُنْقِذُهُمْ فِي بَلائِهِمْ، وَبِالضِّيقِ يَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ. | 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.
| يَجْتَذِبُكَ مِنَ الضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ طَلِيقٍ، وَيَمْلأُ مَائِدَتَكَ بِالأَطْعِمَةِ الدَّسِمَةِ. | ١٦ |
17 But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
| وَلَكِنَّكَ مُثْقَلٌ بِالدَّيْنُونَةِ الْوَاقِعَةِ عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ، فَالدَّعْوَى وَالْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ. | ١٧ |
18 For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
| فَاحْرِصْ لِئَلّا يُغْرِيَكَ الغَضَبُ بالسُّخْرِيَةِ، أَوْ تَصْرِفَكَ الرِّشْوَةُ الْعَظِيمَةُ عَنِ الحَقِّ | ١٨ |
19 Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
| أَيُمْكِنُ لِثَرَائِكَ أَوْ لِجُهُودِكَ الْجَبَّارَةِ أَنْ تَدْعَمَكَ فَلا تَغْرَقَ فِي الْكَآبَةِ؟ | ١٩ |
20 Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
| لَا تَتَشَوَّقْ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَجُرَّ النَّاسَ خَارِجاً مِنْ بُيُوتِهِمْ. | ٢٠ |
21 Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
| احْتَرِسْ أَنْ تَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَا اخْتَرْتَهُ عِوَضاً عَنِ الشَّقَاءِ. | ٢١ |
22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
| انْظُرْ، إِنَّ اللهَ يَتَمَجَّدُ فِي قُوَّتِهِ. أَيُّ مُعَلِّمٍ نَظِيرُهُ؟ | ٢٢ |
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
| مَنْ سَنَّ لَهُ طُرُقَهُ أَوْ قَالَ لَهْ: لَقَدِ ارْتَكَبْتَ خَطَأً؟ | ٢٣ |
24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
| لَا تَنْسَ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ الَّذِي يَتَغَنَّى بِهِ النَّاسُ. | ٢٤ |
25 All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
| لَقَدْ شَهِدَهُ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ، وَتَفَرَّسُوا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٥ |
26 Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
| فَمَا أَعْظَمَ اللهَ! وَنَحْنُ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ، وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُسْتَقْصَى. | ٢٦ |
27 When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
| لأَنَّهُ يَجْتَذِبُ قَطَرَاتِ الْمَاءِ، وَيَجْعَلُ سُحُبَهُ تَهْطِلُ أَمْطَاراً، | ٢٧ |
28 Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
| تَسْكُبُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَتَصُبُّهَا بِغَزَارَةٍ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ. | ٢٨ |
29 Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
| أَهُنَاكَ مَنْ يَفْهَمُ كَيْفَ تَنْتَشِرُ السُّحُبُ، وَكَيْفَ تُرْعِدُ سَمَاؤُهُ؟ | ٢٩ |
30 Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
| فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ بَسَطَ بُرُوقَهُ حَوَالَيْهِ وَتَسَرْبَلَ بِلُجَجِ الْبَحْرِ. | ٣٠ |
31 For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
| هَكَذَا يُطْعِمُ اللهُ الشُّعُوبَ وَيُزَوِّدُهُمْ بِالْغِذَاءِ بِوَفْرَةٍ. | ٣١ |
32 He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
| يَمْلأُ يَدَيْهِ بِالْبُرُوقِ وَيَأْمُرُهَا أَنْ تُصِيبَ الْهَدَفَ. | ٣٢ |
33 His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
| إِنَّ رَعْدَهُ يُنْذِرُ بِاقْتِرَابِ الْعَاصِفَةِ، وَحَتَّى الْمَاشِيَةُ تُنْبِئُ بِدُنُوِّهَا. | ٣٣ |
