Job 37
1 At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْتَعِدُ قَلْبِي وَيَثِبُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ. | ١ |
2 Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
| فَأَنْصِتْ، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَإِلَى زَمْجَرَةِ فَمِهِ. | ٢ |
3 He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
| يَسْتَلُّ بُرُوقَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ كُلِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُرْسِلُهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، | ٣ |
4 After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
| فَتُدَوِّي زَمْجَرَةُ زَئِيرِهِ، وَيُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلالِهِ، وَحِينَ تَتَرَدَّدُ أَصْدَاؤُهُ لَا يَكْبَحُ جِمَاحَهَا شَيْءٌ. | ٤ |
5 God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
| يُرْعِدُ اللهُ بِصَوْتِهِ صَانِعاً عَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكَنَا. | ٥ |
6 For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
| يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ اهْطِلْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلِلأَمْطَارِ: انْهَمِرِي بِشِدَّةٍ. | ٦ |
7 With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
| يُوْقِفُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، لِيُدْرِكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ خَلَقَهُمْ حَقِيقَةَ قُوَّتِهِ. | ٧ |
8 Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
| فَتَلْجَأُ الْوُحُوشُ إِلَى أَوْجِرَتِهَا، وَتَمْكُثُ فِي مَآوِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
| تُقْبِلُ الْعَاصِفَةُ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْبَرَدُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، | ٩ |
10 At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
| مِنْ نَسَمَةِ اللهِ يَتَكَوَّنُ الْجَلِيدُ، وَتَتَجَمَّدُ بِسُرْعَةٍ الْمِيَاهُ الْغَزِيرَةُ. | ١٠ |
11 He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
| يَشْحَنُ السُّحُبَ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةَ بِالنَّدَى، وَيُبَعْثِرُ بَرْقَهُ بَيْنَهَا. | ١١ |
12 And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
| فَتَتَحَرَّكُ كَمَا يَشَاءُ هُوَ، لِتُنَفِّذَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُهَا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ. | ١٢ |
13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
| يُرْسِلُهَا سَوَاءٌ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لأَرْضِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ. | ١٣ |
14 Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
| فَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ. وَتَوَقَّفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ فِي عَجَائِبِ اللهِ. | ١٤ |
15 Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
| هَلْ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَتَحَكَّمُ اللهُ فِي السُّحُبِ، وَكَيْفَ يَجْعَلُ بُرُوقَهُ تُوْمِضُ؟ | ١٥ |
16 Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
| هَلْ تَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ تَتَعَلَّقُ السُّحُبُ بِتَوَازُنٍ؟ هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ الصَّادِرَةُ عَنْ كَامِلِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ! | ١٦ |
17 Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
| أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُهُ عِنْدَمَا تَرِينُ سَكِينَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِتَأْثِيرِ رِيحِ الْجَنُوبِ. | ١٧ |
18 Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
| هَلْ يُمكِنُكَ مِثْلَهُ أَنْ تُصَفِّحَ الْجَلَدَ الْمُمْتَدَّ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِرْآةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ؟ | ١٨ |
19 Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
| أَنْبِئْنَا مَاذَا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ، فَإِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ عَرْضَ قَضِيَّتِنَا بِسَبَبِ الظُّلْمَةِ (أَيِ الْجَهْلِ) | ١٩ |
20 Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
| هَلْ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ؟ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَتَمَنَّى لِنَفْسِهِ الْهَلاكَ؟ | ٢٠ |
21 And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
| لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَدِّقَ إِلَى النُّورِ عِنْدَمَا يَكُونُ مُتَوَهِّجاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الرِّيحُ قَدْ بَدَّدَتْ عَنْهُ السُّحُبَ. | ٢١ |
22 The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
| يُقْبِلُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ بَهَاءٌ ذَهَبِيٌّ، إِنَّ اللهَ مُسَرْبَلٌ بِجَلالٍ مُرْهِبٍ. | ٢٢ |
23 It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
| وَلا يُمْكِنُنَا إِدْرَاكُ الْقَدِيرِ، فَهُوَ مُتَعَظِّمٌ بِالْقُوَّةِ وَالْعَدْلِ وَالْبِرِّ وَلا يَجُورُ، | ٢٣ |
24 Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْهَبُهُ الْجَمِيعُ، لأَنَّهُ يَحْتَقِرُ أَدْعِيَاءَ الْحِكْمَةِ». | ٢٤ |
