< Job 4 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ:١
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
«إِنْ جَازَفَ أَحَدٌ وَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ كَلِمَةً فَهَلْ يَشُقُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ؟ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ يَسْتَطِيعُ الامْتِنَاعَ عَنِ الْكَلامِ؟٢
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
لَكَمْ أَرْشَدْتَ كَثِيرِينَ وَشَدَّدْتَ أَيَادِيَ مُرْتَخِيَةً.٣
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
وَلَكَمْ أَنْهَضَ كَلامُكَ الْعَاثِرَ، وَثَبَّتَّ الرُّكَبَ الْمُرْتَعِشَةَ!٤
5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
وَالآنَ إِذْ دَاهَمَكَ الْكَرْبُ اعْتَرَاكَ السَّأَمُ، وَإِذْ مَسَّكَ سَاوَرَكَ الرُّعْبُ.٥
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
أَلَيْسَتْ تَقْوَاكَ هِيَ مُعْتَمَدُكَ، وَكَمَالُ طُرُقِكَ هُوَ رَجَاؤُكَ؟٦
7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
اذْكُرْ. هَلْ هَلَكَ أَحَدٌ وَهُوَ بَرِيءٌ؟ أَوْ أَيْنَ أُبِيدَ الصَّالِحُونَ؟٧
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
بَلْ كَمَا شَاهَدْتَ فَإِنَّ الْحَارِثِينَ إِثْماً، وَالزَّارِعِينَ شَقَاوَةً، هُمْ يَحْصُدُونَهُمَا،٨
9 From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
وَبِنَسَمَةِ اللهِ يَفْنَوْنَ وَبِعَاصِفَةِ غَضَبِهِ يَهْلِكُونَ.٩
10 [the] roaring of A lion and [the] sound of a lion and [the] teeth of young lions they are broken out.
قَدْ يَزْأَرُ الأَسَدُ وَيُزَمْجِرُ اللَّيْثُ، وَلَكِنْ أَنْيَابُ الأَشْبَالِ تَهَشَّمَتْ.١٠
11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
يَهْلِكُ اللَّيْثُ لِتَعَذُّرِ وُجُودِ الْفَرِيسَةِ، وَتَتَشَتَّتُ أَشْبَالُ اللَّبُؤَةِ.١١
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
ذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ أُسِرَّ إِلَيَّ بِكَلِمَةٍ، فَتَلَقَّفَتْ أُذُنِي مِنْهَا هَمْساً١٢
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
فَفِي غَمْرَةِ الْهَوَاجِسِ، فِي رُؤَى اللَّيْلِ، عِنْدَمَا طَغَى السُّبَاتُ عَلَى النَّاسِ،١٣
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
انْتَابَنِي رُعْبٌ وَرَعْدَةٌ أَرْجَفَا عِظَامِي،١٤
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
وَخَطَرَتْ رُوحٌ أَمَامَ وَجْهِي، فَاقْشَعَرَّ شَعْرُ جَسَدِي.١٥
16 It stood still - and not I recognized appearance its a form [was] to before eyes my a whisper and a voice I heard.
ثُمَّ وَقَفَتْ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَمْ أَتَبَيَّنْ مَلامِحَهَا. تَمَاثَلَ لِي شَكْلٌ مَا، وَبَعْدَ صَمْتٍ سَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً مُنْخَفِضاً يَقُولُ:١٦
17 ¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
أَيُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الإِنْسَانُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ، أَمِ الرَّجُلُ أَطْهَرَ مِنْ خَالِقِهِ؟١٧
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
هَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَأْتَمِنُ عَبِيدَهُ، وَإِلَى مَلائِكَتِهِ يَنْسِبُ حَمَاقَةً،١٨
19 Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
فَكَمْ بِالْحَرِيِّ الْمَخْلُوقُونَ مِنْ طِينٍ، الَّذِينَ أَسَاسُهُمْ فِي التُّرَابِ، وَيُسْحَقُونَ مِثْلَ الْعُثِّ؟١٩
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
يَتَحَطَّمُونَ بَيْنَ صَبَاحٍ وَمَسَاءٍ، وَيَبِيدُونَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَبِهَ لَهُمْ أَحَدٌ.٢٠
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
أَلا تُنْتَزَعُ مِنهُمْ حِبَالُ خِيَامِهِمْ وَيَمُوتُون مِنْ غَيْرِ حِكْمَةٍ؟٢١
