< Job 27 >

1 Moreover, Job continued his parable, and said,
وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ:١
2 [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty [who] hath afflicted my soul;
«حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي،٢
3 All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي،٣
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ.٤
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي.٥
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي.٦
7 Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ.٧
8 For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟٨
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟٩
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟١٠
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
«إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ.١١
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ:١٢
13 This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُونَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ.١٣
14 If his children are multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا.١٤
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي.١٥
16 Though he should heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay?
إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ،١٦
17 He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
فَهُوَ يُعِدُّ وَٱلْبَارُّ يَلْبَسُهُ، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَقْسِمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ.١٧
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَٱلْعُثِّ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱلنَّاطُورُ.١٨
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ.١٩
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ.٢٠
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ.٢١
22 For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا.٢٢
23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
يَصْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَيَصْفِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ.٢٣
