Job 1
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God, and turning away from evil.
| عَاشَ فِي أَرْضِ عُوصَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ أَيُّوبُ، كَانَ صَالحاً كَامِلاً يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ. | ١ |
2 There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
| وَأَنْجَبَ أَيُّوبُ سَبْعَةَ أَبْنَاءٍ وَثَلاثَ بَنَاتٍ. | ٢ |
3 His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.
| وَبَلَغَتْ مَوَاشِيهِ سَبْعَةَ آلافٍ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ، وَثَلاثَةَ آلافِ جَمَلٍ، وَخَمْسَ مِئَةِ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ، وَخَمْسَ مِئَةِ أَتَانٍ. أَمَّا خَدَمُهُ فَكَانُوا كَثِيرِينَ جِدّاً. وَكَانَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَعْظَمَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمَشْرِقِ عَلَى الإِطْلاقِ. | ٣ |
4 His sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
| وَاعْتَادَ أَوْلادُهُ أَنْ يُقِيمُوا الْمَآدِبَ فِي بَيْتِ كُلٍّ مِنْهُمْ بِدَوْرِهِ، وَيَدْعُوا أَخَوَاتِهِمِ الثَّلاثَ إِلَيْهَا لِيُشَارِكْنَ فِيهَا. | ٤ |
5 It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts." Job did so continually.
| وَحَالَمَا تَنْقَضِي أَيَّامُ الْوَلائِمِ كَانَ أَيُّوبُ يَسْتَدْعِي أَبْنَاءَهُ وَيُقَدِّسُهُمْ، فَكَانَ يَنْهَضُ مُبَكِّراً فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَيُقَرِّبُ مُحْرَقَاتٍ عَلَى عَدَدِهِمْ قَائِلاً: «لِئَلّا يَكُونَ بَنِيَّ قَدْ أَخْطَأُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ وَجَدَّفُوا عَلَى اللهِ». هَذَا مَا وَاظَبَ عَلَيْهِ أَيُّوبُ دَائِماً. | ٥ |
6 Now it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan also came among them.
| وَحَدَثَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَنْ مَثَلَ بَنُو اللهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، فَانْدَسَّ الشَّيْطَانُ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "From going back and forth on the earth, and from walking up and down on it."
| فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ الشَّيْطَانَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ الشَّيْطَانُ: «مِنَ الطَّوَافِ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالتَّجَوُّلِ فِيهَا». | ٧ |
8 The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil."
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَلْ رَاقَبْتَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ، فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ صَالِحٌ يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ». | ٨ |
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
| فَأَجَابَ الشَّيْطَانُ: «أَمَجَّاناً يَتَّقِي أَيُّوبُ اللهَ؟ | ٩ |
10 Haven't you made a hedge around him, and around his household, and around all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have increased in the land.
| أَلَمْ تُسَيِّجْ حَوْلَهُ وَحَوْلَ بَيْتِهِ وَحَوْلَ كُلِّ مَا يَمْلِكُ. لَقَدْ بَارَكْتَ كُلَّ مَا يَقُومُ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْمَالٍ، فَمَلأَتْ مَوَاشِيهِ الأَرْضَ. | ١٠ |
11 But put forth your hand now, and strike all that he has, and he will curse you to your face."
| وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا تَمُدُّ يَدَكَ وَتَمَسُّ جَمِيعَ مَا يَمْلِكُ، فَإِنَّهُ فِي وَجْهِكَ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْكَ». | ١١ |
12 The LORD said to Satan, "Look, all that he has is in your power. Only do not put forth your hand on him." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَا أَنَا أُسَلِّمُكَ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُ. إِنَّمَا لَا تَمُدَّ يَدَكَ إِلَيْهِ لِتُؤْذِيَهُ». ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ. | ١٢ |
13 Now the day came when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
| وَذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، فِيمَا كَانَ أَبْنَاءُ أَيُّوبَ وَبَنَاتُهُ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْراً فِي بَيْتِ أَخِيهِمِ الأَكْبَرِ، | ١٣ |
14 that there came a messenger to Job, and said, "The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys grazing beside them,
| أَقْبَلَ رَسُولٌ إِلَى أَيُّوبَ وَقَالَ: «بَيْنَمَا كَانَتِ الْبَقَرُ تَحْرُثُ وَالأُتُنُ تَرْعَى إِلَى جِوَارِهَا، | ١٤ |
15 and Sheba attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
| هَاجَمَنَا غُزَاةُ السَّبَئِيِّينَ وَأَخَذُوهَا، وَقَتَلُوا الْغِلْمَانَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَأَفْلَتُّ أَنَا وَحْدِي لأُخْبِرَكَ». | ١٥ |
16 While he was still speaking, there also came another, and said, "The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you."
| وَفِيمَا هُوَ يَتَكَلَّمُ أَقْبَلَ آخَرُ قَائِلاً: «لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ صَاعِقَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَحْرَقَتِ الْغَنَمَ وَالْغِلْمَانَ وَالْتَهَمَتْهُمْ، وَأَفْلَتُّ أَنَا وَحْدِي لأُخْبِرَكَ». | ١٦ |
17 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "The Kasdim made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, and killed the young men with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
| وَبَيْنَمَا هَذَا يَتَكَلَّمُ أَقْبَلَ ثَالِثٌ وَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ غَزَتْنَا ثَلاثُ فِرَقٍ مِنَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، وَاسْتَوْلَوْا عَلَى الْجِمَالِ، وَقَتَلُوا الْغِلْمَانَ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَأَفْلَتُّ أَنَا وَحْدِي لأُخْبِرَكَ». | ١٧ |
18 While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, "Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,
| وَإِذْ كَانَ هَذَا لَا يَزَالُ يَتَكَلَّمُ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ رَابِعٌ وَقَالَ: «بَيْنَمَا كَانَ أَبْنَاؤُكَ وَبَنَاتُكَ يَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ خَمْراً فِي بَيْتِ أَخِيهِمِ الأَكْبَرِ، | ١٨ |
19 and look, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you."
| هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ شَدِيدَةٌ مِنْ عَبْرِ الصَّحْرَاءِ، فَاجْتَاحَتْ أَرْكَانَ الْبَيْتِ الأَرْبَعَةَ، فَانْهَارَ عَلَى الْغِلْمَانِ وَمَاتُوا جَمِيعاً، وَأَفْلَتُّ أَنَا وَحْدِي لأُخْبِرَكَ». | ١٩ |
20 Then Job arose, and tore his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down with his face to the ground.
| فَقَامَ أَيُّوبُ وَمَزَّقَ جُبَّتَهُ وَجَزَّ شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ وَأَكَبَّ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَاجِداً، | ٢٠ |
21 He said, "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD."
| وَقَالَ: «عُرْيَاناً خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي وَعُرْيَاناً أَعُودُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ. الرَّبُّ أَعْطَى وَالرَّبُّ أَخَذَ، فَلْيَكُنِ اسْمُ الرَّبِّ مُبَارَكاً». | ٢١ |
22 In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.
| فِي هَذَا كُلِّهِ لَمْ يُخْطِئْ أَيُّوبُ فِي حَقِّ اللهِ وَلَمْ يَعْزُ لَهُ حَمَاقَةً. | ٢٢ |
