Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
| فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
| «إِلَى مَتَى تَضَعُونَ أَشْرَاكًا لِلْكَلَامِ؟ تَعَقَّلُوا وَبَعْدُ نَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢ |
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
| لِمَاذَا حُسِبْنَا كَٱلْبَهِيمَةِ، وَتَنَجَّسْنَا فِي عُيُونِكُمْ؟ | ٣ |
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ نَفْسَهُ فِي غَيْظِهِ، هَلْ لِأَجْلِكَ تُخْلَى ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَوْ يُزَحْزَحُ ٱلصَّخْرُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ؟ | ٤ |
5 "Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
| «نَعَمْ! نُورُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ، وَلَا يُضِيءُ لَهِيبُ نَارِهِ. | ٥ |
6 The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
| ٱلنُّورُ يُظْلِمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَسِرَاجُهُ فَوْقَهُ يَنْطَفِئُ. | ٦ |
7 The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.
| تَقْصُرُ خَطَوَاتُ قُوَّتِهِ، وَتَصْرَعُهُ مَشُورَتُهُ. | ٧ |
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
| لِأَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ تَدْفَعَانِهِ فِي ٱلْمِصْلَاةِ فَيَمْشِي إِلَى شَبَكَةٍ. | ٨ |
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
| يُمْسِكُ ٱلْفَخُّ بِعَقِبِهِ، وَتَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّرَكُ. | ٩ |
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.
| مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ حِبَالَتُهُ، وَمِصْيَدَتُهُ فِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ. | ١٠ |
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
| تُرْهِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَتَذْعَرُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١١ |
12 His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
| تَكُونُ قُوَّتُهُ جَائِعَةً وَٱلْبَوَارُ مُهَيَّأٌ بِجَانِبِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
| يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَ جَسَدِهِ. يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَهُ بِكْرُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٣ |
14 He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
| يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ خَيْمَتِهِ، عَنِ ٱعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْأَهْوَالِ. | ١٤ |
15 There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
| يَسْكُنُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ. يُذَرُّ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ كِبْرِيتٌ. | ١٥ |
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
| مِنْ تَحْتُ تَيْبَسُ أُصُولُهُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقُ يُقْطَعُ فَرْعُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.
| ذِكْرُهُ يَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا ٱسْمَ لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّ. | ١٧ |
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
| يُدْفَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ يُطْرَدُ. | ١٨ |
19 He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
| لَا نَسْلَ وَلَا عَقِبَ لَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، وَلَا شَارِدَ فِي مَحَالِّهِ. | ١٩ |
20 Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
| يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرُونَ، وَيَقْشَعِرُّ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."
| إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَهَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ». | ٢١ |
