Job 33
1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
| وَالآنَ يَا أَيُّوبُ أصْغِ إِلَى أَقْوَالِي، وَاسْمَعْ كَلامِي كُلَّهُ: | ١ |
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
| هَا أَنَا قَدْ فَتَحْتُ فَمِي فَنَطَقَ لِسَانِي فِي حَنَكِي، | ٢ |
3 My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
| كَلِمَاتِي تَصْدُرُ مِنْ قَلْبٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ، وَشَفَتَايَ تَتَحَدَّثَانِ بِإِخْلاصٍ بِمَا أَعْلَمُ. | ٣ |
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
| رُوحُ اللهِ هُوَ الَّذِي كَوَّنَنِي، وَنَسَمَةُ الْقَدِيرِ أَحْيَتْنِي، | ٤ |
5 If thou canst answer me, set [thy words] in order before me, stand up.
| فَأَجِبْنِي إِنْ كُنْتَ تَسْتَطِيعُ. أَحْسِنِ الدَّعْوَى، وَاتَّخِذْ لَكَ مَوْقِفاً. | ٥ |
6 Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
| إِنَّمَا أَنَا نَظِيرُكَ أَمَامَ اللهِ، مِنَ الطِّينِ جُبِلْتُ، | ٦ |
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
| فَلا هَيْبَتِي تُخِيفُكَ، وَلا يَدِي ثَقِيلَةٌ عَلَيْكَ. | ٧ |
8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],
| حَقّاً قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ فِي أُذُنَيَّ فَاسْتَمَعْتُ إِلَى أَقْوَالِكَ. | ٨ |
9 I am clean without transgression, I [am] innocent; neither [is there] iniquity in me.
| أَنْتَ قُلْتَ: أَنَا نَقِيٌّ بَرِيءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ، أَنَا طَاهِرٌ لَا إِثْمَ فِيَّ، | ٩ |
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
| إِنَّمَا اللهُ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِي لِيَجِدَ عِلَّةً عَلَيَّ وَيَحْسِبَنِي عَدُوّاً لَهُ، | ١٠ |
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
| يَضَعُ أَقْدَامِي فِي الْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَيَتَرَصَّدُ سُبُلِي. | ١١ |
12 Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
| وَلَكِنَّكَ مُخْطِئٌ فِي هَذَا، وَأَنَا الَّذِي أُجِيبُكَ. إِنَّ اللهَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الإِنْسَانِ، | ١٢ |
13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
| فَمَا بَالُكَ تُخَاصِمُهُ قَائِلاً: إِنَّهُ لَنْ يُجِيبَ عَنْ تَسَاؤُلاتِي؟ | ١٣ |
14 For God speaketh once, yes twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not.
| إِنَّ اللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِطَرِيقَةٍ أَوْ بِأُخْرَى وَإِنْ كَانَ الإِنْسَانُ لَا يُدْرِكُهَا. | ١٤ |
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
| يَتَكَلَّمُ فِي حُلْمٍ، فِي رُؤْيَا اللَّيْلِ عِنْدَمَا يَغْشَى النَّاسَ سُبَاتٌ عَمِيقٌ. | ١٥ |
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يَفْتَحُ آذَانَ النَّاسِ وَيُرْعِبُهُمْ بِتَحْذِيرَاتِهِ، | ١٦ |
17 That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride from man.
| لِيَصْرِفَ الإِنْسَانَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ وَيَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنْهُ الْكِبْرِيَاءَ، | ١٧ |
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
| لِيُنْقِذَ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ وَحَيَاتَهُ مِنَ الْهَلاكِ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ. | ١٨ |
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [pain]:
| قَدْ يُقَوَّمُ الإِنْسَانُ بِالأَلَمِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِهِ، وَبِالأَوْجَاعِ النَّاشِبَةِ فِي عِظَامِهِ، | ١٩ |
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food.
| حَتَّى تَعَافَ حَيَاتُهُ الطَّعَامَ، وَشَهِيَّتُهُ لَذِيذَ الْمَأْكَلِ. | ٢٠ |
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones [that] were not seen stick out.
| يَبْلَى لَحْمُهُ فَيَخْتَفِي عَنِ الْعَيَانِ، وَتَنْبَرِي عِظَامُهُ الَّتِي كَانَتْ خَافِيَةً مِنْ قَبْلُ. | ٢١ |
22 Yes, his soul draweth near to the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
| تَدْنُو نَفْسُهُ مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَحَيَاتُهُ مِنْ زَبَانِيَةِ الْمَوْتِ. | ٢٢ |
23 If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man his uprightness:
| إِنْ وُجِدَ لَهُ مَلاكٌ، شَفِيعٌ، وَاحِدٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَلْفٍ، لِيُعْلِنَ لِلإِنْسَانِ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ لَهُ، | ٢٣ |
24 Then he is gracious to him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
| يتَرَأَّفُ عَلَيْهِ قَائِلاً: أَنْقِذْهُ يَا رَبُّ مِنَ الانْحِدَارِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَقَدْ وَجَدْتُ لَهُ فِدْيَةً. | ٢٤ |
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he will return to the days of his youth:
| فَيَصِيرَ لَحْمُهُ أَكْثَرَ غَضَاضَةً مِن أَيَّامِ صِبَاهُ وَيَعُودَ إِلَى عَهْدِ رَيعَانِ شَبَابِهِ | ٢٥ |
26 He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render to man his righteousness.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ يَدْعُو الْمَرْءُ اللهَ فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ، وَيَمْثُلُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ بِفَرَحٍ، وَيَرُدُّ لَهُ اللهُ بِرَّهُ، | ٢٦ |
27 He looketh upon men, and [if any] shall say, I have sinned, and perverted [that which was] right, and it profited me not;
| ثُمَّ يُرَنِّمُ أَمَامَ النَّاسِ قَائِلاً: لَقَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ وَحَرَّفْتُ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ وَلَمْ أُجَازَ عَلَيْهِ، | ٢٧ |
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
| قَدِ افْتَدَى اللهُ حَيَاتِي مِنَ الانْحِدَارِ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَتَنْتَعِشُ حَيَاتِي لِتَرَى النُّورَ. | ٢٨ |
29 Lo, all these [things] God often worketh with man,
| هَذَا كُلُّهُ يُجْرِيهِ اللهُ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، | ٢٩ |
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
| لِيَرُدَّ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ الْهَاوِيَةِ لِيَسْتَضِيءَ بِنُورِ الْحَيَاةِ. | ٣٠ |
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
| فَأَصْغِ يَا أَيُّوبُ وَأَنْصِتْ إِلَيَّ. اُصْمُتْ وَدَعْنِي أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٣١ |
32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
| وَإِنْ كَانَ لَدَيْكَ مَا تَقُولُهُ فَأَجِبْنِي، تَكَلَّمْ، فَإِنِّي أَرْغَبُ فِي تَبْرِيرِكَ. | ٣٢ |
33 If not, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
| وَإلَّا فَأَصْغِ إِلَيَّ، أَنْصِتْ فَأُعَلِّمَكَ الْحِكْمَةَ». | ٣٣ |
