Job 18
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
| فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
| «إِلَى مَتَى تَضَعُونَ أَشْرَاكًا لِلْكَلَامِ؟ تَعَقَّلُوا وَبَعْدُ نَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢ |
3 Why are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?
| لِمَاذَا حُسِبْنَا كَٱلْبَهِيمَةِ، وَتَنَجَّسْنَا فِي عُيُونِكُمْ؟ | ٣ |
4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of its place?
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ نَفْسَهُ فِي غَيْظِهِ، هَلْ لِأَجْلِكَ تُخْلَى ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَوْ يُزَحْزَحُ ٱلصَّخْرُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ؟ | ٤ |
5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
| «نَعَمْ! نُورُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ، وَلَا يُضِيءُ لَهِيبُ نَارِهِ. | ٥ |
6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
| ٱلنُّورُ يُظْلِمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَسِرَاجُهُ فَوْقَهُ يَنْطَفِئُ. | ٦ |
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
| تَقْصُرُ خَطَوَاتُ قُوَّتِهِ، وَتَصْرَعُهُ مَشُورَتُهُ. | ٧ |
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
| لِأَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ تَدْفَعَانِهِ فِي ٱلْمِصْلَاةِ فَيَمْشِي إِلَى شَبَكَةٍ. | ٨ |
9 The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
| يُمْسِكُ ٱلْفَخُّ بِعَقِبِهِ، وَتَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّرَكُ. | ٩ |
10 The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
| مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ حِبَالَتُهُ، وَمِصْيَدَتُهُ فِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ. | ١٠ |
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
| تُرْهِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَتَذْعَرُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١١ |
12 His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
| تَكُونُ قُوَّتُهُ جَائِعَةً وَٱلْبَوَارُ مُهَيَّأٌ بِجَانِبِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the first-born of death shall devour his strength.
| يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَ جَسَدِهِ. يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَهُ بِكْرُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٣ |
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
| يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ خَيْمَتِهِ، عَنِ ٱعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْأَهْوَالِ. | ١٤ |
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
| يَسْكُنُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ. يُذَرُّ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ كِبْرِيتٌ. | ١٥ |
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
| مِنْ تَحْتُ تَيْبَسُ أُصُولُهُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقُ يُقْطَعُ فَرْعُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
| ذِكْرُهُ يَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا ٱسْمَ لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّ. | ١٧ |
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
| يُدْفَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ يُطْرَدُ. | ١٨ |
19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
| لَا نَسْلَ وَلَا عَقِبَ لَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، وَلَا شَارِدَ فِي مَحَالِّهِ. | ١٩ |
20 They that come after [him] shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
| يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرُونَ، وَيَقْشَعِرُّ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
| إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَهَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ». | ٢١ |
