< Job 37 >

1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
«فَلِهَذَا ٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبِي وَخَفَقَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ.١
2 Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
ٱسْمَعُوا سَمَاعًا رَعْدَ صَوْتِهِ وَٱلزَّمْزَمَةَ ٱلْخَارِجَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ.٢
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.
تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُطْلِقُهَا، كَذَا نُورُهُ إِلَى أَكْنَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣
4 After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; and He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.
بَعْدُ يُزَمْجِرُ صَوْتٌ، يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلَالِهِ، وَلَا يُؤَخِّرُهَا إِذْ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهُ.٤
5 God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.
ٱللهُ يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِهِ عَجَبًا. يَصْنَعُ عَظَائِمَ لَا نُدْرِكُهَا.٥
6 For He saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.
لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ: ٱسْقُطْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَذَا لِوَابِلِ ٱلْمَطَرِ، وَابِلِ أَمْطَارِ عِزِّهِ.٦
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.
يَخْتِمُ عَلَى يَدِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ ٱلنَّاسِ خَالِقَهُمْ،٧
8 Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
فَتَدْخُلُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْمَآوِيَ، وَتَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَوْجِرَتِهَا.٨
9 Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.
مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَأْتِي ٱلْإِعْصَارُ، وَمِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْبَرَدُ.٩
10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
مِنْ نَسَمَةِ ٱللهِ يُجْعَلُ ٱلْجَمْدُ، وَتَتَضَيَّقُ سِعَةُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.١٠
11 Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;
أَيْضًا بِرِيٍّ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْغَيْمَ. يُبَدِّدُ سَحَابَ نُورِهِ.١١
12 And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:
فَهِيَ مُدَوَّرَةٌ مُتَقَلِّبَةٌ بِإِدَارَتِهِ، لِتَفْعَلَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ،١٢
13 Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.
سَوَاءٌ كَانَ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لِأَرْضِهِ أَوْ لِلرَّحْمَةِ يُرْسِلُهَا.١٣
14 Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
«اُنْصُتْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَقِفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ بِعَجَائِبِ ٱللهِ.١٤
15 Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?
أَتُدْرِكُ ٱنْتِبَاهَ ٱللهِ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ إِضَاءَةَ نُورِ سَحَابِهِ؟١٥
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
أَتُدْرِكُ مُوازَنَةَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، مُعْجِزَاتِ ٱلْكَامِلِ ٱلْمَعَارِفِ؟١٦
17 Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind;
كَيْفَ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُكَ إِذَا سَكَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ رِيحِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟١٧
18 Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
هَلْ صَفَّحْتَ مَعَهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ ٱلْمُمَكَّنَ كَٱلْمِرْآةِ ٱلْمَسْبُوكَةِ؟١٨
19 Teach us what we shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
عَلِّمْنَا مَا نَقُولُ لَهُ. إِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ!١٩
20 Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
هَلْ يُقَصُّ عَلَيْهِ كَلَامِي إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُ؟ هَلْ يَنْطِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِكَيْ يَبْتَلِعَ؟٢٠
21 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُرَى ٱلنُّورُ ٱلْبَاهِرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْجَلَدِ، ثُمَّ تَعْبُرُ ٱلرِّيحُ فَتُنَقِّيهِ.٢١
22 Out of the north cometh golden splendour, about God is terrible majesty.
مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي ذَهَبٌ. عِنْدَ ٱللهِ جَلَالٌ مُرْهِبٌ.٢٢
23 The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.
ٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا نُدْرِكُهُ. عَظِيمُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، وَكَثِيرُ ٱلْبِرِّ. لَا يُجَاوِبُ.٢٣
24 Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
لِذَلِكَ فَلْتَخَفْهُ ٱلنَّاسُ. كُلَّ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَا يُرَاعِي».٢٤
