< Job 5 >

1 Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
ادْعُ الآنَ، فَهَلْ مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ وَإِلَى أَيِّ القِدِّيسِينَ تَلْتَفِتُ؟١
2 Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
الْغَيْظُ يَقْتُلُ الأَحْمَقَ، وَالْغَيْرَةُ تُمِيتُ الأَبْلَهَ.٢
3 I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
لَقَدْ شَاهَدْتُ الْغَبِيَّ يَتَأَصَّلُ، ثُمَّ لَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ لَعَنْتُ مَسْكَنَهُ.٣
4 His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
أَبْنَاؤُهُ لَا أَمْنَ لَهُمْ. يَتَحَطَّمُونَ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ وَلا مُنْقِذَ.٤
5 The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
يَأْكُلُ الْجَائِعُ حَصِيدَهُمْ، وَيَلْتَهِمُهُ حَتَّى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّوْكِ، وَيَمْتَصُّ الظَّامِئُ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ.٥
6 For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
إِنَّ الْبَلِيَّةَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَالْمَشَقَّاتِ لَا تَنْبُتُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ،٦
7 But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ مَوْلُودٌ لِمُعَانَاةِ الْمَتَاعِبِ، كَمَا وُلِدَتِ الْجَوَارِحُ لِتُحَلِّقَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا.٧
8 But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
لَوْ كُنْتُ فِي مَكَانِكَ لاتَّجَهْتُ إِلَى اللهِ وَعَرَضْتُ أَمْرِي عَلَيْهِ.٨
9 Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
هُوَ صَانِعُ عَجَائِبَ لَا تُفْحَصُ وَعَظَائِمَ لَا تُحْصَى.٩
10 He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
يُهْطِلُ الْغَيْثَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، وَيُرْسِلُ الْمِيَاهَ إِلَى الْحُقُولِ.١٠
11 And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
يُقِيمُ الْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ فِي الْعُلَى، وَيَرْفَعُ النَّائِحِينَ إِلَى مَكَانِ الطُّمَأْنِينَةِ.١١
12 He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
يُبْطِلُ تَدْبِيرَاتِ الْمُحْتَالِينَ فَيُخْفِقُونَ،١٢
13 He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
أَوْ يُوْقِعُ الْحُكَمَاءَ فِي خِدْعَتِهِمْ، فَتَتَلاشَى مَشُورَةُ الْمَاكِرِينَ.١٣
14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
يَكْتَنِفُهُمْ ظَلامٌ فِي النَّهَارِ، وَيَتَحَسَّسُونَ طَرِيقَهُمْ فِي الظَّهِيرَةِ، كَمَنْ يَمْشِي فِي اللَّيْلِ.١٤
15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
يُنَجِّي الْبَائِسِينَ مِنْ سَيْفِ فَمِهِمْ، وَمِنْ قَبْضَةِ الْقَوِيِّ يُنْقِذُهُمْ،١٥
16 So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
فَيُصْبِحُ لِلْمِسْكِينِ رَجَاءٌ، وَالظُّلْمُ يَسُدُّ فَمَهُ.١٦
17 Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي يُقَوِّمُهُ اللهُ، فَلا تَرْفُضْ تَأْدِيبَ الْقَدِيرِ.١٧
18 For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
لأَنَّ اللهَ يَجْرَحُ وَيَعْصِبُ، يَسْحَقُ وَيَدَاهُ تُبْرِئَانِ.١٨
19 He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
مِنْ سِتِّ بَلايَا يُنَجِّيكَ، وَفِي سَبْعٍ لَا يَقَعُ بِكَ أَذىً.١٩
20 In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
يَفْدِيكَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ جُوعاً، وَفِي الْحَرْبِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ.٢٠
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
يَقِيكَ مِنْ لَذَعَاتِ اللِّسَانِ، فَلا تَخَافُ مِنَ الدَّمَارِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ.٢١
22 But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
تَسْخَرُ مِنَ الدَّمَارِ وَالْمَجَاعَةِ، وَلا تَخْشَى وُحُوشَ الأَرْضِ،٢٢
23 For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
لأَنَّ عَهْدَكَ مَعَ حِجَارَةِ الْحَقْلِ، وَوُحُوشُ الصَّحْرَاءِ تُسَالِمُكَ.٢٣
24 And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
فَتُدْرِكُ أَنَّ خَيْمَتَكَ آمِنَةٌ، وَتَتَعَهَّدُ حَظِيرَتَكَ فَلا تَفْقِدُ شَيْئاً.٢٤
25 Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
عِنْدَئِذٍ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَثِيرَةٌ، وَأَنَّ نَسْلَكَ كَعُشْبِ الأَرْضِ،٢٥
26 Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
وَتَدْخُلُ الْقَبْرَ فِي شَيْبَةٍ نَاضِجَةٍ، كَمَا يُرْفَعُ كُدْسُ الْقَمْحِ فِي مَوْسِمِهِ.٢٦
27 Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
فَانْظُرْ. هَذَا مَا بَحَثْنَا عَنْهُ، وَهُوَ حَقٌّ، فَاسْمَعْهُ وَاخْتَبِرْهُ بِنَفْسِكَ».٢٧
