Job 27
1 And Job again took up his parable, and said:
| وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath dealt bitterly with me;
| «حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي، | ٢ |
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
| إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، | ٣ |
4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;
| لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ. | ٤ |
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
| حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي. | ٥ |
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
| تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي. | ٦ |
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
| لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٧ |
8 For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
| لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟ | ٨ |
9 Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
| أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟ | ٩ |
10 Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
| أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟ | ١٠ |
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
| «إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١١ |
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?
| هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ: | ١٢ |
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
| هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُونَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١٣ |
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.
| إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا. | ١٤ |
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.
| بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي. | ١٥ |
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
| إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ، | ١٦ |
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
| فَهُوَ يُعِدُّ وَٱلْبَارُّ يَلْبَسُهُ، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَقْسِمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ. | ١٧ |
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
| يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَٱلْعُثِّ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱلنَّاطُورُ. | ١٨ |
19 He lieth down rich, but there shall be not to gather; he openeth his eyes, and his wealth is not.
| يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ. | ١٩ |
20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
| ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ. | ٢٠ |
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
| تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. | ٢١ |
22 Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.
| يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا. | ٢٢ |
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
| يَصْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَيَصْفِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. | ٢٣ |
