Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ: | ١ |
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
| «هَلْ يُتْرَكُ هَذَا الْكَلامُ الْمُفَرِّطُ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَوَابٍ، أَمْ يَتَبَرَّأُ الرَّجُلُ الْمِهْذَارُ؟ | ٢ |
3 Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
| أَيُفْحِمُ لَغْوُكَ النَّاسَ، أَمْ تَهَكُّمُكَ يَحُولُ دُونَ تَسْفِيهِكَ؟ | ٣ |
4 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
| إِذْ تَدَّعِي قَائِلاً: مَذْهَبِي صَالِحٌ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ |
5 But Oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْتَ اللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ لِيَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ، | ٥ |
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that is manifold in effectual working! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
| وَيَكْشِفَ لَكَ أَسْرَارَ حِكْمَتِهِ، فَلِلْحِكْمَةِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَجْهَانِ، فَتُدْرِكَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ اللهَ عَاقَبَكَ عَلَى إِثْمِكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا تَسْتَحِقُّ. | ٦ |
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
| أَلَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَعْمَاقَ اللهِ، أَمْ تَبْلُغُ أَقْصَى قُوَّةِ الْقَدِيرِ؟ | ٧ |
| هُوَ أَسْمَى مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ وَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ غَوْراً مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَعْلَمُ؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ |
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| هُوَ أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٩ |
10 If he pass through, and shut up, and call unto judgment, then who can hinder him?
| فَإِنِ اجْتَازَ وَاعْتَقَلَكَ وَحَاكَمَكَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ |
11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.
| لأَنَّهُ عَالِمٌ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ. إِنْ رَأَى الإِثْمَ، أَفَلا يَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِهِ؟ | ١١ |
12 But vain man is void of understanding, yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.
| يُصْبِحُ الأَحْمَقُ حَكِيماً عِنْدَمَا يَلِدُ حِمَارُ الْوَحْشِ إِنْسَاناً. | ١٢ |
13 If thou set thine heart aright, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
| إِنْ هَيَّأْتَ قَلْبَكَ وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٣ |
14 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents;
| وَإِنْ نَبَذْتَ الإِثْمَ الَّذِي تَلَطَّخَتْ بِهِ كَفَّاكَ، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْجَوْرُ يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ. | ١٤ |
15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِكَرَامَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ رَاسِخاً مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ، | ١٥ |
16 For thou shalt forget thy misery; thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away:
| فَتَنْسَى مَا قَاسَيْتَ مِنْ مَشَقَّةٍ، وَلا تَذْكُرُهَا إِلّا كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ. | ١٦ |
17 And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
| وَتُصْبِحُ حَيَاتُكَ أَكْثَرَ إِشْرَاقاً مِنْ نُورِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ ظَلامُهَا إِلَى صَبَاحٍ، | ١٧ |
18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt search [about thee], and shalt take thy rest in safety.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءً، وَتَتَلَفَّتُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَرْقُدُ آمِناً. | ١٨ |
19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
| تَسْتَكِينُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُرَوِّعٍ، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَ رِضَاكَ | ١٩ |
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
| أَمَّا عُيُونُ الأَشْرَارِ فَيُصِيبُهَا التَّلَفُ، وَمَنَافِذُ الْهَرَبِ تَخْتَفِي مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَلا أَمَلَ لَهُمْ إِلّا فِي الْمَوْتِ». | ٢٠ |
