Job 32
1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
| فَكَفَّ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُقْتَنِعاً بِبَرَاءَةِ نَفْسِهِ. | ١ |
2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ غَضَبَ أَلِيهُو بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيِّ، مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ، احْتَدَمَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُ ظَنَّ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ، | ٢ |
3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.
| كَمَا غَضِبَ أَيْضاً عَلَى أَصْحَابِ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةِ، لأَنَّهُمْ عَجَزُوا عَنِ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمُ اسْتَذْنَبُوهُ. | ٣ |
4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken because they [were] older than he.
| وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ لَزِمَ الصَّمْتَ حَتَّى فَرَغُوا مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ، لأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَكْبَرَ مِنْهُ سِنّاً. | ٤ |
5 When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
| وَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ الثَّلاثَةَ قَدْ أَخْفَقُوا فِي إِجَابَةِ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ بِغَضَبٍ مُحْتَدِمٍ: | ٥ |
6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you my opinion.
| «أَنَا صَغِيرُ السِّنِّ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لِذَلِكَ تَهَيَّبْتُ وَخِفْتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِي، | ٦ |
7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
| قَائِلاً لِنَفْسِي:’لِتَتَكَلَّمِ الأَيَّامُ، وَلْتُلَقِّنْ كَثْرَةُ السِّنِينَ حِكْمَةً.‘ | ٧ |
8 But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
| وَلَكِنَّ الرُّوحَ الَّذِي فِي الإِنْسَانِ، وَنَسَمَةَ الْقَدِيرِ، تُعْطِي الإِنْسَانَ فَهْماً. | ٨ |
9 Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
| لَيْسَ الْمُسِنُّونَ وَحْدَهُمْ هُمُ الْحُكَمَاءَ، وَلا الشُّيُوخُ فَقَطْ يُدْرِكُونَ الْحَقَّ. | ٩ |
10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show my opinion.
| لِذَلِكَ أَقُولُ: أَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ لأُحَدِّثَكُمْ بِمَا أَعْرِفُ. | ١٠ |
11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
| لَقَدْ أَنْصَتُّ بِصَبْرٍ حِينَ تَكَلَّمْتُمْ، وَاسْتَمَعْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حِينَ بَحَثْتُمْ عَنِ الْكَلامِ، | ١١ |
12 Yes, I attended to you, and behold, [there was] none of you that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:
| وَأَوْلَيْتُكُمُ انْتِبَاهِي، فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِي كَلامِكُمْ مَا أَفْحَمَ أَيُّوبَ، أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَى أَقْوَالِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
| احْتَرِسُوا لِئَلّا تَقُولُوا إِنَّنَا قَدْ أَحْرَزْنَا حِكْمَةً، فَالرَّبُّ يُفْحِمُ أَيُّوبَ لَا الإِنْسَانُ. | ١٣ |
14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
| إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ حَدِيثَهُ إِلَيَّ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ أُجِيبَهُ بِمِثْلِ كَلامِكُمْ. | ١٤ |
15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
| لَقَدْ تَحَيَّرُوا، يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا إِذْ أَعْيَاهُمُ النُّطْقُ، | ١٥ |
16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, [and] answered no more; )
| فَهَلْ أَصْمُتُ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا، وَهَلْ أَمْتَنِعُ عَنِ الرَّدِّ؟ | ١٦ |
17 [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.
| لا، سَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضاً وَأُبْدِي رَأْيِي، | ١٧ |
18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
| لأَنِّي أَفِيضُ كَلاماً، وَالرُّوحُ فِي دَاخِلِي يُحَفِّزُنِي. | ١٨ |
19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
| انْظُرُوا، إِنَّ قَلْبِي فِي دَاخِلِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ، وَكَزِقَاقٍ جَدِيدَةٍ تَكَادُ تَنْشَقُّ! | ١٩ |
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
| فَلأَتَكَلَّمَنَّ لأُفَرِّجَ عَنْ نَفْسِي، أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ لأُجِيبَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles to man.
| لَنْ أُحَابِيَ إِنْسَاناً أَوْ أَتَمَلَّقَ أَحَداً. | ٢١ |
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing], my Maker would soon take me away.
| لأَنِّي لَا أَعْرِفُ التَّمَلُّقَ، وَإلَّا يَقْضِي عَلَيَّ صَانِعِي سَرِيعاً. | ٢٢ |
