Job 19
1 Then Job answered,
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 "How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِٱلْكَلَامِ؟ | ٢ |
3 You have reproached me ten times. You aren't ashamed that you attack me.
| هَذِهِ عَشَرَ مَرَّاتٍ أَخْزَيْتُمُونِي. لَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَحْكِرُونِي. | ٣ |
4 If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
| وَهَبْنِي ضَلَلْتُ حَقًّا. عَلَيَّ تَسْتَقِرُّ ضَلَالَتِي! | ٤ |
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead my disgrace against me;
| إِنْ كُنْتُمْ بِٱلْحَقِّ تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ، فَثَبِّتُوا عَلَيَّ عَارِي. | ٥ |
6 know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
| فَٱعْلَمُوا إِذًا أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ عَوَّجَنِي، وَلَفَّ عَلَيَّ أُحْبُولَتَهُ. | ٦ |
7 "Look, I cry out 'Injustice.' but there is no justice.
| هَا إِنِّي أَصْرُخُ ظُلْمًا فَلَا أُسْتَجَابُ. أَدْعُو وَلَيْسَ حُكْمٌ. | ٧ |
8 He has walled up my way so that I can't pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
| قَدْ حَوَّطَ طَرِيقِي فَلَا أَعْبُرُ، وَعَلَى سُبُلِي جَعَلَ ظَلَامًا. | ٨ |
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
| أَزَالَ عَنِّي كَرَامَتِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجَ رَأْسِي. | ٩ |
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree.
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ فَذَهَبْتُ، وَقَلَعَ مِثْلَ شَجَرَةٍ رَجَائِي، | ١٠ |
11 He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
| وَأَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ، وَحَسِبَنِي كَأَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ |
12 His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and camp around my tent.
| مَعًا جَاءَتْ غُزَاتُهُ، وَأَعَدُّوا عَلَيَّ طَرِيقَهُمْ، وَحَلُّوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ |
13 "He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
| قَدْ أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، وَمَعَارِفِي زَاغُوا عَنِّي. | ١٣ |
14 My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
| أَقَارِبِي قَدْ خَذَلُونِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ عَرَفُونِي نَسُونِي. | ١٤ |
15 Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.
| نُزَلَاءُ بَيْتِي وَإِمَائِي يَحْسِبُونَنِي أَجْنَبِيًّا. صِرْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ غَرِيبًا. | ١٥ |
16 I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
| عَبْدِي دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ. بِفَمِي تَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
| نَكْهَتِي مَكْرُوهَةٌ عِنْدَ ٱمْرَأَتِي، وَخَمَمْتُ عِنْدَ أَبْنَاءِ أَحْشَائِي. | ١٧ |
18 Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
| اَلْأَوْلَادُ أَيْضًا قَدْ رَذَلُونِي. إِذَا قُمْتُ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَلَيَّ. | ١٨ |
19 All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
| كَرِهَنِي كُلُّ رِجَالِي، وَٱلَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ ٱنْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
| عَظْمِي قَدْ لَصِقَ بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي. | ٢٠ |
21 "Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
| تَرَاءَفُوا، تَرَاءَفُوا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيَّ يَا أَصْحَابِي، لِأَنَّ يَدَ ٱللهِ قَدْ مَسَّتْنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا ٱللهُ، وَلَا تَشْبَعُونَ مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 "Oh that my words were now written. Oh that they were inscribed in a scroll.
| «لَيْتَ كَلِمَاتِي ٱلْآنَ تُكْتَبُ. يَا لَيْتَهَا رُسِمَتْ فِي سِفْرٍ، | ٢٣ |
24 That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever.
| وَنُقِرَتْ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ فِي ٱلصَّخْرِ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ. | ٢٤ |
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ وَلِيِّي حَيٌّ، وَٱلْآخِرَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَقُومُ، | ٢٥ |
26 After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يُفْنَى جِلْدِي هَذَا، وَبِدُونِ جَسَدِي أَرَى ٱللهَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.
| ٱلَّذِي أَرَاهُ أَنَا لِنَفْسِي، وَعَيْنَايَ تَنْظُرَانِ وَلَيْسَ آخَرُ. إِلَى ذَلِكَ تَتُوقُ كُلْيَتَايَ فِي جَوْفِي. | ٢٧ |
28 If you say, 'How we will persecute him, because the root of the matter is found in him.'
| فَإِنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: لِمَاذَا نُطَارِدُهُ؟ وَٱلْكَلَامُ ٱلْأَصْلِيُّ يُوجَدُ عِنْدِي. | ٢٨ |
29 Be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment."
| خَافُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَيْظَ مِنْ آثَامِ ٱلسَّيْفِ. لِكَيْ تَعْلَمُوا مَا هُوَ ٱلْقَضَاءُ». | ٢٩ |
