Job 19
1 And Job answers and says:
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ |
2 “Until when do you afflict my soul, And bruise me with words?
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِالْكَلامِ الْمُوْجِعِ؟ | ٢ |
3 These ten times you put me to shame, you do not blush. You make yourselves strange to me—
| فَهَذِهِ عَشَرُ مَرَّاتٍ انْهَلْتُمْ عَلَيَّ تَعْيِيراً، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنَ التَّنْدِيدِ بِي! | ٣ |
4 And also—truly, I have erred, My error remains with me.
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَخْطَائِي هِيَ مِنْ شَأْنِي وَحْدِي. | ٤ |
5 If, truly, you magnify yourselves over me, And decide my reproach against me;
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ عَارِي بُرْهَاناً ضِدِّي، | ٥ |
6 Know now, that God turned me upside down, And has set around His net against me,
| فَاعْلَمُوا إِذاً أَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعَنِي فِي الْخَطَأِ وَأَلْقَى شِبَاكَهُ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ |
7 Behold, I cry out—violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.
| هَا إِنِّي أَسْتَغِيثُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَلا مُجِيبَ، وَأَهْتِفُ عَالِياً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْصِفٍ. | ٧ |
8 He hedged up my way, and I do not pass over, And He places darkness on my paths.
| قَدْ سَيَّجَ عَلَى طَرِيقِي فَلا أَعْبُرُ، وَخَيَّمَ عَلَى سُبُلِي بِالظُّلُمَاتِ. | ٨ |
9 He has stripped my honor from off me, And He turns the crown from my head.
| جَرَّدَنِي مِنْ مَجْدِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجِي عَنْ رَأْسِي. | ٩ |
10 He breaks me down all around, and I go, And removes my hope like a tree.
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، فَتَلاشَيْتُ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ مِثْلَ غَرْسٍ رَجَائِي. | ١٠ |
11 And He kindles His anger against me, And reckons me to Him as His adversaries.
| أَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ وَحَسِبَنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ |
12 His troops come in together, And they raise up their way against me, And encamp around my tent.
| زَحَفَتْ قُوَّاتُهُ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِيُمَهِّدُوا طَرِيقَ حِصَارٍ ضِدِّي، وَعَسْكَرُوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ |
13 He has put my brothers far off from me, And my acquaintances have surely been estranged from me.
| أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، فَاعْتَزَلَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. | ١٣ |
14 My neighbors have ceased And my familiar friends have forgotten me,
| خَذَلَنِي ذَوُو قَرَابَتِي وَنَسِيَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي. | ١٤ |
15 Sojourners of my house and my maids, Reckon me for a stranger; I have been an alien in their eyes.
| وَحَسِبَنِي ضُيُوفِي وَإِمَائِي غَرِيباً، أَصْبَحْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَجْنَبِيًّا. | ١٥ |
16 I have called to my servant, And he does not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him.
| أَدْعُو خَادِمِي فَلا يُجِيبُ، مَعَ أَنِّي تَوَسَّلْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favors to the sons of my [mother’s] womb.
| عَافَتْ زَوْجَتِي رَائِحَةَ أَنْفَاسِي الْخَبِيثَةَ، وَكَرِهَنِي إخْوَتِي فَابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me.
| حَتَّى الصِّبْيَانُ يَزْدَرُونَنِي. إذَا قُمْتُ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنِّي. | ١٨ |
19 All the men of my counsel detest me, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.
| مَقَتَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي الْحَمِيمُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ انْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 To my skin and to my flesh My bone has cleaved, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.
| لَصِقَتْ عِظَامِي بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي! | ٢٠ |
21 Pity me, pity me, you my friends, For the hand of God has struck against me.
| ارْفُقُوا بِي يَا أَصْدِقَائِي، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَطَّمَتْنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Why do you pursue me as God? And are not satisfied with my flesh?
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا يُطَارِدُنِي اللهُ؟ أَلا تَشْبَعُونَ أَبَداً مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 Who grants now, that my words may be written? Who grants that they may be inscribed in a scroll?
| مَنْ لِي بِأَنْ تُدَوَّنَ أَقْوَالِي! يَا لَيْتَهَا تُسَجَّلُ فِي كِتَابٍ! | ٢٣ |
24 With a pen of iron and lead—They may be hewn in a rock forever.
| يَا لَيْتَهَا تُنْقَشُ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ عَلَى صَخْرٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! | ٢٤ |
25 That—I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For He raises the dust.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي مُوْقِنٌ أَنَّ فَادِيَّ حَيٌّ، وَأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ فِي النِّهَايَةِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And after my skin has surrounded this [body], Then from my flesh I see God—
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَفْنَى جِلْدِي، فَإِنِّي بِذَاتِي أُعَايِنُ اللهَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Whom I see on my side, And my eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, My reins have been consumed in my bosom.
| الَّذِي أُشَاهِدُهُ لِنَفْسِي فَتَنْظُرُهُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَيْسَ عَيْنَا آخَرَ، قَدْ فَنِيَتْ كُلْيَتَايَ شَوْقاً فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٧ |
28 But you say, Why do we pursue after him? And the root of the matter has been found in me.
| وَإِنْ قُلْتُمْ مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ لِنَضْطَهِدَهُ، لأَنَّ مَصْدَرَ الْمَتَاعِبِ كَامِنٌ فِيهِ؟ | ٢٨ |
29 Be afraid because of the sword, For the punishments of the sword [are] furious, That you may know that [there is] a judgment.”
| فَاخْشَوْا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ الْغَيْظَ يَجْلِبُ عِقَابَ السَّيْفِ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ هُنَاكَ قَضَاءً». | ٢٩ |
