< Job 37 >

1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved upward out of its place.
«فَلِهَذَا ٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبِي وَخَفَقَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ.١
2 Hear, O hear, the rattling of his thunder, and the storm's roar that goeth out of his mouth.
ٱسْمَعُوا سَمَاعًا رَعْدَ صَوْتِهِ وَٱلزَّمْزَمَةَ ٱلْخَارِجَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ.٢
3 Under the whole heavens he letteth it loose, and his lightning over the ends of the earth.
تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُطْلِقُهَا، كَذَا نُورُهُ إِلَى أَكْنَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣
4 Behind it roareth the thunder; he thundereth with his majestic voice; and he holdeth them not back when his voice is heard.
بَعْدُ يُزَمْجِرُ صَوْتٌ، يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلَالِهِ، وَلَا يُؤَخِّرُهَا إِذْ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهُ.٤
5 God thundereth with his marvelous voice: he doth great things, which we cannot comprehend.
ٱللهُ يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِهِ عَجَبًا. يَصْنَعُ عَظَائِمَ لَا نُدْرِكُهَا.٥
6 For to the snow he saith, Be thou on the earth: likewise the pouring rain, and to the pouring rains of his strength.
لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ: ٱسْقُطْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَذَا لِوَابِلِ ٱلْمَطَرِ، وَابِلِ أَمْطَارِ عِزِّهِ.٦
7 He sealeth it on 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 retire the beasts into [their] dens, and rest in their lairs.
فَتَدْخُلُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْمَآوِيَ، وَتَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَوْجِرَتِهَا.٨
9 Out of [his] chamber cometh the whirlwind, and out of the north, the cold.
مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَأْتِي ٱلْإِعْصَارُ، وَمِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْبَرَدُ.٩
10 From the breathing of God ice is given, and the broad waters become solid.
مِنْ نَسَمَةِ ٱللهِ يُجْعَلُ ٱلْجَمْدُ، وَتَتَضَيَّقُ سِعَةُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.١٠
11 Also with moisture he loadeth the cloud; [and] he scattereth the cloud of his lightning;
أَيْضًا بِرِيٍّ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْغَيْمَ. يُبَدِّدُ سَحَابَ نُورِهِ.١١
12 And it is turned round about by his guidance, to execute what he commandeth it upon the face of the world, the earth.
فَهِيَ مُدَوَّرَةٌ مُتَقَلِّبَةٌ بِإِدَارَتِهِ، لِتَفْعَلَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ،١٢
13 Whether it be as a chastising rod—if this be destined for his earth—or for kindness, doth he cause it to come.
سَوَاءٌ كَانَ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لِأَرْضِهِ أَوْ لِلرَّحْمَةِ يُرْسِلُهَا.١٣
14 Give ear unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider well the wonders of God.
«اُنْصُتْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَقِفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ بِعَجَائِبِ ٱللهِ.١٤
15 Dost thou know how God hath imposed [a law] on them, and [how] he hath caused the light of his cloud to shine?
أَتُدْرِكُ ٱنْتِبَاهَ ٱللهِ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ إِضَاءَةَ نُورِ سَحَابِهِ؟١٥
16 Dost thou know aught about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
أَتُدْرِكُ مُوازَنَةَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، مُعْجِزَاتِ ٱلْكَامِلِ ٱلْمَعَارِفِ؟١٦
17 [Thou] who clothest thyself with warm garments, when He giveth the earth rest from the south wind?
كَيْفَ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُكَ إِذَا سَكَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ رِيحِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟١٧
18 Hast thou with him spread out the skies, which are strong even as a molten mirror?
هَلْ صَفَّحْتَ مَعَهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ ٱلْمُمَكَّنَ كَٱلْمِرْآةِ ٱلْمَسْبُوكَةِ؟١٨
19 Let us know what we shall say unto him: we cannot set aught in order [before him] because of darkness.
عَلِّمْنَا مَا نَقُولُ لَهُ. إِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ!١٩
20 Can [all] be related of him, when I speak [ever so much]? or if a man talk [of him] even till he be swallowed up [in death]?
هَلْ يُقَصُّ عَلَيْهِ كَلَامِي إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُ؟ هَلْ يَنْطِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِكَيْ يَبْتَلِعَ؟٢٠
21 Yet now men see not the light which is bright in the skies, when the wind hath passed along, and purified them.
وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُرَى ٱلنُّورُ ٱلْبَاهِرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْجَلَدِ، ثُمَّ تَعْبُرُ ٱلرِّيحُ فَتُنَقِّيهِ.٢١
22 The golden [light] that cometh out of the north: around God is terrible majesty.
مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي ذَهَبٌ. عِنْدَ ٱللهِ جَلَالٌ مُرْهِبٌ.٢٢
23 The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, excellent in power, and in justice, and abounding in righteousness, will not afflict:
ٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا نُدْرِكُهُ. عَظِيمُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، وَكَثِيرُ ٱلْبِرِّ. لَا يُجَاوِبُ.٢٣
24 Therefore do men fear him; he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
لِذَلِكَ فَلْتَخَفْهُ ٱلنَّاسُ. كُلَّ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَا يُرَاعِي».٢٤
