Job 32
1 So had these three men abstained from answering Job; because he was righteous in his own eyes.
| فَكَفَّ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُقْتَنِعاً بِبَرَاءَةِ نَفْسِهِ. | ١ |
2 Thereupon was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he had declared himself more righteous than God.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ أَلِيهُو بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيِّ، مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ، احْتَدَمَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ ظَنَّ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ، | ٢ |
3 And against his three friends was his wrath kindled; because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
| كَمَا غَضِبَ أَيْضاً عَلَى أَصْحَابِ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ عَجَزُوا عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَذْنَبُوهُ. | ٣ |
4 Now Elihu had held back toward Job [his] words; because the others were older in days than he.
| وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ لَزِمَ الصَّمْتَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ سِنّاً. | ٤ |
5 But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then was his wrath kindled.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ الثَّلاثَةَ قَدْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِجَابَةِ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ بِغَضَبٍ مُحْتَدِمٍ: | ٥ |
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite commenced, and said, Young am I in days, and ye are very old: therefore I hesitated and feared to show you what I know.
| «أَنَا صَغِيرُ السِّنِّ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِذَلِكَ تَهَيَّبْتُ وَخِفْتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِي، | ٦ |
7 I had said, Days shall speak, and multitude of years shall make wisdom known.
| قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِي:’لِتَتَكَلَّمِ الأَيَّامُ، وَلْتُلَقِّنْ كَثْرَةُ السِّنِينَ حِكْمَةً.‘ | ٧ |
8 But it is the spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty which giveth them understanding.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرُّوحَ الَّذِي فِي الإِنْسَانِ، وَنَسَمَةَ الْقَدِيرِ، تُعْطِي الإِنْسَانَ فَهْماً. | ٨ |
9 Not those rich in years must be always wise: neither do the aged constantly understand what is just.
| لَيْسَ الْمُسِنُّونَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الْحُكَمَاءَ، وَلا الشُّيُوخُ فَقَطْ يُدْرِكُونَ الْحَقَّ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore do I say, Hearken to me: I also will show forth what I know myself.
| لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ: أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ لأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا أَعْرِفُ. | ١٠ |
11 Behold, I waited for your words: I gave an attentive ear to your reasonings, till you might have searched out the [proper] words.
| لَقَدْ أَنْصَتُّ بِصَبْرٍ حِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ، وَاسْتَمَعْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حِينَ بَحَثْتُمْ عَنِ الْكَلامِ، | ١١ |
12 And now I understand you fully, and, behold, there is none that convinceth Job, or, that answereth his speeches among you.
| وَأَوْلَيْتُكُمُ انْتِبَاهِي، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي كَلامِكُمْ مَا أَفْحَمَ أَيُّوبَ، أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَى أَقْوَالِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Say then not, We have found wisdom: God will thrust him down, not man.
| احْتَرِسُوا لِئَلّا تَقُولُوا إِنَّنَا قَدْ أَحْرَزْنَا حِكْمَةً، فَالرَّبُّ يُفْحِمُ أَيُّوبَ لَا الإِنْسَانُ. | ١٣ |
14 But he hath not directed any words against me: and with your speeches will I not answer him.
| إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَيَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ أُجِيبَهُ بِمِثْلِ كَلامِكُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 They are dismayed, they answer no more: words have escaped away from them.
| لَقَدْ تَحَيَّرُوا، يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا إِذْ أَعْيَاهُمُ النُّطْقُ، | ١٥ |
16 And should I wait [longer], because they cannot speak, because they stand stilt and answer no more?
| فَهَلْ أَصْمُتُ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَهَلْ أَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ؟ | ١٦ |
17 [But] I also will surely answer my part, I myself also will show forth what I know;
| لا، سَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضاً وَأُبْدِي رَأْيِي، | ١٧ |
18 For I am full of words, the spirit in my bosom urgeth me hard.
| لأَنِّي أَفِيضُ كَلاماً، وَالرُّوحُ فِي دَاخِلِي يُحَفِّزُنِي. | ١٨ |
19 Behold, my bosom is like [fresh] wine which hath not been opened: like new bottles it is ready to burst.
| انْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ، وَكَزِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ تَكَادُ تَنْشَقُّ! | ١٩ |
20 I will speak, that I may breathe freer: I will open my lips and answer.
| فَلأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ لأُفَرِّجَ عَنْ نَفْسِي، أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ لأُجِيبَ. | ٢٠ |
21 On no account will I show undue favor to any man, and to no son of earth will I give flattering titles.
| لَنْ أُحَابِيَ إِنْسَاناً أَوْ أَتَمَلَّقَ أَحَداً. | ٢١ |
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [for else] my Maker would speedily carry me away.
| لأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ التَّمَلُّقَ، وَإلَّا يَقْضِي عَلَيَّ صَانِعِي سَرِيعاً. | ٢٢ |
