Job 19
1 Then responded Job, and said: —
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ |
2 How long will ye grieve my soul? or crush me with words?
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِالْكَلامِ الْمُوْجِعِ؟ | ٢ |
3 These ten times, have ye reviled me, Shameless ye wrong me.
| فَهَذِهِ عَشَرُ مَرَّاتٍ انْهَلْتُمْ عَلَيَّ تَعْيِيراً، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنَ التَّنْدِيدِ بِي! | ٣ |
4 And even if indeed I have erred, with myself lodgeth mine error.
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَخْطَائِي هِيَ مِنْ شَأْنِي وَحْدِي. | ٤ |
5 If indeed, against me, ye must needs magnify yourselves, and plead, against me, my reproach.
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ عَارِي بُرْهَاناً ضِدِّي، | ٥ |
6 Know, then, that, God, hath overthrown me, and, within his net, enclosed me.
| فَاعْلَمُوا إِذاً أَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعَنِي فِي الْخَطَأِ وَأَلْقَى شِبَاكَهُ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ |
7 Lo! I cry—out: Violence! but receive no answer, I cry aloud, but there is no vindication;
| هَا إِنِّي أَسْتَغِيثُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَلا مُجِيبَ، وَأَهْتِفُ عَالِياً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْصِفٍ. | ٧ |
8 My way, hath he walled up, that I cannot pass, and, upon my paths, hath he made darkness rest;
| قَدْ سَيَّجَ عَلَى طَرِيقِي فَلا أَعْبُرُ، وَخَيَّمَ عَلَى سُبُلِي بِالظُّلُمَاتِ. | ٨ |
9 My glory—from off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head;
| جَرَّدَنِي مِنْ مَجْدِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجِي عَنْ رَأْسِي. | ٩ |
10 He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away—like a tree—my hope;
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، فَتَلاشَيْتُ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ مِثْلَ غَرْسٍ رَجَائِي. | ١٠ |
11 Yea he hath kindled against me his anger, and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries;
| أَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ وَحَسِبَنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ |
12 Together, enter his troops and have cast up, against me, their mound, and have encamped all around my tent;
| زَحَفَتْ قُوَّاتُهُ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِيُمَهِّدُوا طَرِيقَ حِصَارٍ ضِدِّي، وَعَسْكَرُوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ |
13 My Brethren—from beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me;
| أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، فَاعْتَزَلَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. | ١٣ |
14 Failed me, have my near of kin, and, mine intimate acquaintances, have forgotten me;
| خَذَلَنِي ذَوُو قَرَابَتِي وَنَسِيَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي. | ١٤ |
15 Ye guests of my house and my maidens, A stranger, have ye accounted me, An alien, have I become in their eyes;
| وَحَسِبَنِي ضُيُوفِي وَإِمَائِي غَرِيباً، أَصْبَحْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَجْنَبِيًّا. | ١٥ |
16 To mine own servant, I called, and he would not answer, With mine own mouth, I kept entreating him;
| أَدْعُو خَادِمِي فَلا يُجِيبُ، مَعَ أَنِّي تَوَسَّلْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 My breath, is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother;
| عَافَتْ زَوْجَتِي رَائِحَةَ أَنْفَاسِي الْخَبِيثَةَ، وَكَرِهَنِي إخْوَتِي فَابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 Even young children, despise me, I rise up, and they speak against me;
| حَتَّى الصِّبْيَانُ يَزْدَرُونَنِي. إذَا قُمْتُ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنِّي. | ١٨ |
19 All the men of mine intimate circle abhor me, and, these whom I loved, have turned against me;
| مَقَتَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي الْحَمِيمُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ انْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 Unto my skin and unto my flesh, have my bones cleaved, and I have escaped with the akin of my teeth.
| لَصِقَتْ عِظَامِي بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي! | ٢٠ |
21 Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me!
| ارْفُقُوا بِي يَا أَصْدِقَائِي، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَطَّمَتْنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Wherefore should ye persecute me as GOD? and, with my flesh, should not he satisfied?
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا يُطَارِدُنِي اللهُ؟ أَلا تَشْبَعُونَ أَبَداً مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 Oh, then, that my words, could be written, Oh that, in a record, they could be inscribed:
| مَنْ لِي بِأَنْ تُدَوَّنَ أَقْوَالِي! يَا لَيْتَهَا تُسَجَّلُ فِي كِتَابٍ! | ٢٣ |
24 That, with a stylus of iron and [with] lead, for all time—in the rock, they could be graven!
| يَا لَيْتَهَا تُنْقَشُ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ عَلَى صَخْرٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! | ٢٤ |
25 But, I, know that, my redeemer, liveth, and, as the Last over [my] dust, will he arise;
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي مُوْقِنٌ أَنَّ فَادِيَّ حَيٌّ، وَأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ فِي النِّهَايَةِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And, though, after my skin is struck off, this [followeth], yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD:
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَفْنَى جِلْدِي، فَإِنِّي بِذَاتِي أُعَايِنُ اللهَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Whom, I myself, shall see, on my side, and, mine own eyes, [shall] have looked upon, and not those of a stranger. Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom!
| الَّذِي أُشَاهِدُهُ لِنَفْسِي فَتَنْظُرُهُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَيْسَ عَيْنَا آخَرَ، قَدْ فَنِيَتْ كُلْيَتَايَ شَوْقاً فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٧ |
28 Surely ye should say—Why should we persecute him? seeing, the root of the matter, is found in me.
| وَإِنْ قُلْتُمْ مَاذَا نَعْمَلُ لِنَضْطَهِدَهُ، لأَنَّ مَصْدَرَ الْمَتَاعِبِ كَامِنٌ فِيهِ؟ | ٢٨ |
29 Be ye afraid—on your part—of the face of the sword, because, wrath, [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, to the end ye may know the Almighty.
| فَاخْشَوْا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ الْغَيْظَ يَجْلِبُ عِقَابَ السَّيْفِ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ هُنَاكَ قَضَاءً». | ٢٩ |
