Job 19
1 Then Job answered and said,
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ: | ١ |
2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
| «حَتَّى مَتَى تُعَذِّبُونَ نَفْسِي وَتَسْحَقُونَنِي بِالْكَلامِ الْمُوْجِعِ؟ | ٢ |
3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me.
| فَهَذِهِ عَشَرُ مَرَّاتٍ انْهَلْتُمْ عَلَيَّ تَعْيِيراً، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلُوا مِنَ التَّنْدِيدِ بِي! | ٣ |
4 And be it indeed [that] I have erred, my error remaineth with myself.
| فَإِنْ كُنْتُ حَقّاً قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَخْطَائِي هِيَ مِنْ شَأْنِي وَحْدِي. | ٤ |
5 If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach:
| وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ حَقّاً تَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيَّ وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مِنْ عَارِي بُرْهَاناً ضِدِّي، | ٥ |
6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath encompassed me with his net.
| فَاعْلَمُوا إِذاً أَنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي أَوْقَعَنِي فِي الْخَطَأِ وَأَلْقَى شِبَاكَهُ عَلَيَّ. | ٦ |
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment.
| هَا إِنِّي أَسْتَغِيثُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَلا مُجِيبَ، وَأَهْتِفُ عَالِياً وَلَيْسَ مِنْ مُنْصِفٍ. | ٧ |
8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
| قَدْ سَيَّجَ عَلَى طَرِيقِي فَلا أَعْبُرُ، وَخَيَّمَ عَلَى سُبُلِي بِالظُّلُمَاتِ. | ٨ |
9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown [from] my head.
| جَرَّدَنِي مِنْ مَجْدِي وَنَزَعَ تَاجِي عَنْ رَأْسِي. | ٩ |
10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath he removed like a tree.
| هَدَمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ، فَتَلاشَيْتُ، وَاسْتَأْصَلَ مِثْلَ غَرْسٍ رَجَائِي. | ١٠ |
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me to him as [one of] his enemies.
| أَضْرَمَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَهُ وَحَسِبَنِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ. | ١١ |
12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle.
| زَحَفَتْ قُوَّاتُهُ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً لِيُمَهِّدُوا طَرِيقَ حِصَارٍ ضِدِّي، وَعَسْكَرُوا حَوْلَ خَيْمَتِي. | ١٢ |
13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
| أَبْعَدَ عَنِّي إِخْوَتِي، فَاعْتَزَلَ عَنِّي مَعَارِفِي. | ١٣ |
14 My kinsmen have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
| خَذَلَنِي ذَوُو قَرَابَتِي وَنَسِيَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي. | ١٤ |
15 They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
| وَحَسِبَنِي ضُيُوفِي وَإِمَائِي غَرِيباً، أَصْبَحْتُ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ أَجْنَبِيًّا. | ١٥ |
16 I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
| أَدْعُو خَادِمِي فَلا يُجِيبُ، مَعَ أَنِّي تَوَسَّلْتُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٦ |
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's [sake] of my own body.
| عَافَتْ زَوْجَتِي رَائِحَةَ أَنْفَاسِي الْخَبِيثَةَ، وَكَرِهَنِي إخْوَتِي فَابْتَعَدُوا عَنِّي. | ١٧ |
18 Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
| حَتَّى الصِّبْيَانُ يَزْدَرُونَنِي. إذَا قُمْتُ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنِّي. | ١٨ |
19 All my intimate friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
| مَقَتَنِي أَصْدِقَائِي الْحَمِيمُونَ، وَالَّذِينَ أَحْبَبْتُهُمُ انْقَلَبُوا عَلَيَّ. | ١٩ |
20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped with the skin of my teeth.
| لَصِقَتْ عِظَامِي بِجِلْدِي وَلَحْمِي، وَنَجَوْتُ بِجِلْدِ أَسْنَانِي! | ٢٠ |
21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
| ارْفُقُوا بِي يَا أَصْدِقَائِي، لأَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ قَدْ حَطَّمَتْنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
| لِمَاذَا تُطَارِدُونَنِي كَمَا يُطَارِدُنِي اللهُ؟ أَلا تَشْبَعُونَ أَبَداً مِنْ لَحْمِي؟ | ٢٢ |
23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
| مَنْ لِي بِأَنْ تُدَوَّنَ أَقْوَالِي! يَا لَيْتَهَا تُسَجَّلُ فِي كِتَابٍ! | ٢٣ |
24 That they were graven with an iron pen in lead, in the rock for ever!
| يَا لَيْتَهَا تُنْقَشُ بِقَلَمِ حَدِيدٍ وَبِرَصَاصٍ عَلَى صَخْرٍ إِلَى الأَبَدِ! | ٢٤ |
25 For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he will stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
| أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِنِّي مُوْقِنٌ أَنَّ فَادِيَّ حَيٌّ، وَأَنَّهُ لابُدَّ فِي النِّهَايَةِ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ |
26 And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God:
| وَبَعْدَ أَنْ يَفْنَى جِلْدِي، فَإِنِّي بِذَاتِي أُعَايِنُ اللهَ. | ٢٦ |
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
| الَّذِي أُشَاهِدُهُ لِنَفْسِي فَتَنْظُرُهُ عَيْنَايَ وَلَيْسَ عَيْنَا آخَرَ، قَدْ فَنِيَتْ كُلْيَتَايَ شَوْقاً فِي دَاخِلِي. | ٢٧ |
28 But ye would say, Why persecute we 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 of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there] is a judgment.
| فَاخْشَوْا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنَ السَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ الْغَيْظَ يَجْلِبُ عِقَابَ السَّيْفِ، وَتَعْلَمُونَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ هُنَاكَ قَضَاءً». | ٢٩ |
