< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered the LORD:
أَيُّوبُ١
2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
«قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلا يَتَعَذَّرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.٢
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I didn’t understand, things too wonderful for me, which I didn’t know.
تَسْأَلُنِي: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْمَشُورَةَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ حَقّاً قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا، بِعَجَائِبَ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكِي.٣
4 You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
اسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، أَسْأَلُكَ وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنِي.٤
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي،٥
6 Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
لِذَلِكَ أَلُومُ نَفْسِي وَأَتُوبُ مُعَفِّراً ذَاتِي بِالتُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ».٦
7 It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَهَى الرَّبُّ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ لأَلِيفَازَ التَّيْمَانِيِّ: «لَقَدِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلا صَدِيقَيْكَ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالصَّوَابِ عَنِّي كَمَا نَطَقَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ.٧
8 Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
فَخُذُوا الآنَ لَكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ وَقَرِّبُوهَا ذَبِيحَةَ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ، لِئَلّا أُعَاقِبَكُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالْحَقِّ عَنِّي كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».٨
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ. وَأَكْرَمَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ.٩
10 The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
وَعِنْدَمَا صَلَّى أَيُّوبُ مِن أَجْلِ أَصْدِقَائِهِ رَدَّهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عُزْلَةِ مَنْفَاهُ، وَضَاعَفَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ.١٠
11 Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ إِخْوَتُهُ وَأَخَوَاتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ السَّابِقِينَ، وَتَنَاوَلُوا مَعَهُ طَعَاماً فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَبْدَوْا لَهُ كُلَّ رِفْقٍ، وَعَزُّوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَنْزَلَهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَلْوَى، وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَعْضَ الْمَالِ وَخَاتَماً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.١١
12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولاهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ وَسِتَّةُ آلافٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَلْفُ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.١٢
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
وَرَزَقَهُ اللهُ سَبْعَةَ بَنِينَ وَثَلاثَ بَنَاتٍ،١٣
14 He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
فَدَعَا الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَالثَّانِيَةَ قَصِيعَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.١٤
15 In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
وَلَمْ تُوْجَدْ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلادِ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلاتٌ مِثْلَ بَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ، وَوَهَبَهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثاً بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.١٥
16 After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ تَجْرِبَتِهِ مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَاكْتَحَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِرُؤْيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ وَأَحْفَادِهِ إِلَى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ.١٦
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخاً، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ مِنَ الأَيَّامِ.١٧
