< Job 37 >

1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
«فَلِهَذَا ٱضْطَرَبَ قَلْبِي وَخَفَقَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ.١
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth.
ٱسْمَعُوا سَمَاعًا رَعْدَ صَوْتِهِ وَٱلزَّمْزَمَةَ ٱلْخَارِجَةَ مِنْ فِيهِ.٢
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
تَحْتَ كُلِّ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ يُطْلِقُهَا، كَذَا نُورُهُ إِلَى أَكْنَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.٣
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
بَعْدُ يُزَمْجِرُ صَوْتٌ، يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلَالِهِ، وَلَا يُؤَخِّرُهَا إِذْ سُمِعَ صَوْتُهُ.٤
5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend.
ٱللهُ يُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِهِ عَجَبًا. يَصْنَعُ عَظَائِمَ لَا نُدْرِكُهَا.٥
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
لِأَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ: ٱسْقُطْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. كَذَا لِوَابِلِ ٱلْمَطَرِ، وَابِلِ أَمْطَارِ عِزِّهِ.٦
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
يَخْتِمُ عَلَى يَدِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ، لِيَعْلَمَ كُلُّ ٱلنَّاسِ خَالِقَهُمْ،٧
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
فَتَدْخُلُ ٱلْحَيَوَانَاتُ ٱلْمَآوِيَ، وَتَسْتَقِرُّ فِي أَوْجِرَتِهَا.٨
9 From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north.
مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ يَأْتِي ٱلْإِعْصَارُ، وَمِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ ٱلْبَرَدُ.٩
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
مِنْ نَسَمَةِ ٱللهِ يُجْعَلُ ٱلْجَمْدُ، وَتَتَضَيَّقُ سِعَةُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ.١٠
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
أَيْضًا بِرِيٍّ يَطْرَحُ ٱلْغَيْمَ. يُبَدِّدُ سَحَابَ نُورِهِ.١١
12 And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth.
فَهِيَ مُدَوَّرَةٌ مُتَقَلِّبَةٌ بِإِدَارَتِهِ، لِتَفْعَلَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ،١٢
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
سَوَاءٌ كَانَ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لِأَرْضِهِ أَوْ لِلرَّحْمَةِ يُرْسِلُهَا.١٣
14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
«اُنْصُتْ إِلَى هَذَا يَا أَيُّوبُ، وَقِفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ بِعَجَائِبِ ٱللهِ.١٤
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
أَتُدْرِكُ ٱنْتِبَاهَ ٱللهِ إِلَيْهَا، أَوْ إِضَاءَةَ نُورِ سَحَابِهِ؟١٥
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
أَتُدْرِكُ مُوازَنَةَ ٱلسَّحَابِ، مُعْجِزَاتِ ٱلْكَامِلِ ٱلْمَعَارِفِ؟١٦
17 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?
كَيْفَ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُكَ إِذَا سَكَنَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْ رِيحِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟١٧
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking-glass?
هَلْ صَفَّحْتَ مَعَهُ ٱلْجَلَدَ ٱلْمُمَكَّنَ كَٱلْمِرْآةِ ٱلْمَسْبُوكَةِ؟١٨
19 Teach us what we shall say to him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.
عَلِّمْنَا مَا نَقُولُ لَهُ. إِنَّنَا لَا نُحْسِنُ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ!١٩
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be swallowed up.
هَلْ يُقَصُّ عَلَيْهِ كَلَامِي إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُ؟ هَلْ يَنْطِقُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ لِكَيْ يَبْتَلِعَ؟٢٠
21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
وَٱلْآنَ لَا يُرَى ٱلنُّورُ ٱلْبَاهِرُ ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي ٱلْجَلَدِ، ثُمَّ تَعْبُرُ ٱلرِّيحُ فَتُنَقِّيهِ.٢١
22 Fair weather cometh from the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.
مِنَ ٱلشَّمَالِ يَأْتِي ذَهَبٌ. عِنْدَ ٱللهِ جَلَالٌ مُرْهِبٌ.٢٢
23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: he will not afflict.
ٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا نُدْرِكُهُ. عَظِيمُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ وَٱلْحَقِّ، وَكَثِيرُ ٱلْبِرِّ. لَا يُجَاوِبُ.٢٣
24 Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
لِذَلِكَ فَلْتَخَفْهُ ٱلنَّاسُ. كُلَّ حَكِيمِ ٱلْقَلْبِ لَا يُرَاعِي».٢٤
