Job 2
1 Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
| ثُمَّ مَثَلَ بَنُو اللهِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَانْدَسَّ الشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضاً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، | ١ |
2 Jehovah said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered Jehovah, 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». | ٢ |
3 Jehovah 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. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَلْ رَاقَبْتَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ، فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ صَالِحٌ، يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، وَحَتَّى الآنَ لَا يَزَالُ مُعْتَصِماً بِكَمَالِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّكَ أَثَرْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ لأُهْلِكَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَاعٍ». | ٣ |
4 Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, "Skin for skin. Indeed, all that a man has he will give for his life.
| فَأَجَابَ الشَّيْطَانُ: «جِلْدٌ بِجِلْدٍ، فَالإِنْسَانُ يَبْذُلُ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُ فِدَاءَ نَفْسِهِ. | ٤ |
5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face."
| وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا تَمُدُّ يَدَكَ إِلَيْهِ وَتَمَسُّ عَظْمَهُ وَلَحْمَهُ فَإِنَّهُ فِي وَجْهِكَ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْكَ». | ٥ |
6 Jehovah said to Satan, "Look, he is in your power. Only preserve his life."
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَا أَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكَ، وَلَكِنِ احْفَظْ نَفْسَهُ». | ٦ |
7 So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.
| فَانْصَرَفَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَابْتَلَى أَيُّوبَ بِقُرُوحٍ انْتَشَرَتْ فِي بَدَنِهِ كُلِّهِ، مِنْ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ إِلَى أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ، | ٧ |
8 And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with while he sat among the ashes.
| فَجَلَسَ أَيُّوبُ وَسَطَ الرَّمَادِ وَتَنَاوَلَ شَقْفَةً يَحُكُّ بِها قُرُوحَهُ. | ٨ |
9 Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold firmly to your integrity? Curse God, and die."
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَتُهُ: «أَمَازِلْتَ مُعْتَصِماً بِكَمَالِكَ؟ جَدِّفْ عَلَى اللهِ وَمُتْ». | ٩ |
10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we indeed accept good at the hand of God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
| فَأَجَابَهَا: «أَنْتِ تَتَكَلَّمِينَ كَالْجَاهِلاتِ! أَنَقْبَلُ الْخَيْرَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَالشَّرَّ لَا نَقْبَلُ؟». فِي هَذَا كُلِّهِ لَمْ تَرْتَكِبْ شَفَتَا أَيُّوبَ خَطَأً فِي حَقِّ اللهِ. | ١٠ |
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ أَصْحَابُ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةُ بِمَا حَاقَ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ، تَوَافَدُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَقَرِّ إِقَامَتِهِمْ، وَهُمْ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ، وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ، وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَاعَدُوا عَلَى الاجْتِمَاعِ عِنْدَهُ لِلرِّثَاءِ لَهُ وَلِتَعْزِيَتِهِ. | ١١ |
12 When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and did not recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and threw dust in the air over their heads.
| وَإِذْ رَأَوْهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ لِفَرْطِ مَا حَلَّ بِهِ، فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْبُكَاءِ، وَمَزَّقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ جُبَّتَهُ وَذَرَّوْا تُرَاباً فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، | ١٢ |
13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
| وَمَكَثُوا جَالِسِينَ مَعَهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَ لَيَالٍ، لَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِكَلِمَةٍ لِشِدَّةِ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كَآبَةٍ. | ١٣ |
