Job 15
1 Forsothe Eliphat Themanytes answeride, and seide,
| فَأَجَابَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 Whether a wise man schal answere, as spekynge ayens the wynd, and schal fille his stomac with brennyng, `that is, ire?
| «أَلَعَلَّ ٱلْحَكِيمَ يُجِيبُ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةٍ بَاطِلَةٍ، وَيَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ مِنْ رِيحٍ شَرْقِيَّةٍ، | ٢ |
3 For thou repreuest hym bi wordis, which is not lijk thee, and thou spekist that, that spedith not to thee.
| فَيَحْتَجَّ بِكَلَامٍ لَا يُفِيدُ، وَبِأَحَادِيثَ لَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا؟ | ٣ |
4 As myche as is in thee, thou hast avoidid drede; and thou hast take awey preyeris bifor God.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَتُنَافِي ٱلْمَخَافَةَ، وَتُنَاقِضُ ٱلتَّقْوَى لَدَى ٱللهِ. | ٤ |
5 For wickidnesse hath tauyt thi mouth, and thou suest the tunge of blasfemeris.
| لِأَنَّ فَمَكَ يُذِيعُ إِثْمَكَ، وَتَخْتَارُ لِسَانَ ٱلْمُحْتَالِينَ. | ٥ |
6 Thi tunge, and not Y, schal condempne thee, and thi lippis schulen answere thee.
| إِنَّ فَمَكَ يَسْتَذْنِبُكَ، لَا أَنَا، وَشَفَتَاكَ تَشْهَدَانِ عَلَيْكَ. | ٦ |
7 Whether thou art borun the firste man, and art formed bifor alle little hillis?
| «أَصُوِّرْتَ أَوَّلَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَمْ أُبْدِئْتَ قَبْلَ ٱلتِّلَالِ؟ | ٧ |
8 Whether thou herdist the counsel of God, and his wisdom is lower than thou?
| هَلْ تَنَصَّتَّ فِي مَجْلِسِ ٱللهِ، أَوْ قَصَرْتَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ؟ | ٨ |
9 What thing knowist thou, whiche we knowen not? What thing vndurstondist thou, whiche we witen not?
| مَاذَا تَعْرِفُهُ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ نَحْنُ؟ وَمَاذَا تَفْهَمُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ عِنْدَنَا؟ | ٩ |
10 Bothe wise men and elde, myche eldre than thi fadris, ben among vs.
| عِنْدَنَا ٱلشَّيْخُ وَٱلْأَشْيَبُ، أَكْبَرُ أَيَّامًا مِنْ أَبِيكَ. | ١٠ |
11 Whether it is greet, that God coumforte thee? But thi schrewid wordis forbeden this.
| أَقَلِيلَةٌ عِنْدَكَ تَعْزِيَاتُ ٱللهِ، وَٱلْكَلَامُ مَعَكَ بِٱلرِّفْقِ؟ | ١١ |
12 What reisith thin herte thee, and thou as thenkynge grete thingis hast iyen astonyed?
| «لِمَاذَا يَأْخُذُكَ قَلْبُكَ؟ وَلِمَاذَا تَخْتَلِجُ عَيْنَاكَ | ١٢ |
13 What bolneth thi spirit ayens God, that thou brynge forth of thi mouth siche wordis?
| حَتَّى تَرُدَّ عَلَى ٱللهِ وَتُخْرِجَ مِنْ فِيكَ أَقْوَالًا؟ | ١٣ |
14 What is a man, that he be with out wem, and that he borun of a womman appere iust?
| مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ حَتَّى يَزْكُوَ، أَوْ مَوْلُودُ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ حَتَّى يَتَبَرَّرَ؟ | ١٤ |
15 Lo! noon among hise seyntis is vnchaungable, and heuenes ben not cleene in his siyt.
| هُوَذَا قِدِّيسُوهُ لَا يَأْتَمِنُهُمْ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ غَيْرُ طَاهِرَةٍ بِعَيْنَيْهِ، | ١٥ |
16 How myche more a man abhomynable and vnprofitable, that drynkith wickidnesse as water?
| فَبِالْحَرِيِّ مَكْرُوهٌ وَفَاسِدٌ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلشَّارِبُ ٱلْإِثْمَ كَٱلْمَاءِ! | ١٦ |
17 I schal schewe to thee, here thou me; Y schal telle to thee that, that Y siy.
| «أُوحِي إِلَيْكَ، ٱسْمَعْ لِي فَأُحَدِّثَ بِمَا رَأَيْتُهُ، | ١٧ |
18 Wise men knoulechen, and hiden not her fadris.
| مَا أَخْبَرَ بِهِ حُكَمَاءُ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَكْتُمُوهُ. | ١٨ |
19 To whiche aloone the erthe is youun, and an alien schal not passe bi hem.
| ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ وَحْدَهُمْ أُعْطِيَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ، وَلَمْ يَعْبُرْ بَيْنَهُمْ غَرِيبٌ. | ١٩ |
20 A wickid man is proud in alle hise daies; and the noumbre of hise yeeris and of his tirauntrie is vncerteyn.
| ٱلشِّرِّيرُ هُوَ يَتَلَوَّى كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ، وَكُلَّ عَدَدِ ٱلسِّنِينَ ٱلْمَعْدُودَةِ لِلْعَاتِي. | ٢٠ |
21 The sown of drede is euere in hise eeris, and whanne pees is, he supposith euere tresouns.
| صَوْتُ رُعُوبٍ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ. فِي سَاعَةِ سَلَامٍ يَأْتِيهِ ٱلْمُخَرِّبُ. | ٢١ |
22 He bileueth not that he may turne ayen fro derknessis to liyt; and biholdith aboute on ech side a swerd.
| لَا يَأْمُلُ ٱلرُّجُوعَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَهُوَ مُرْتَقَبٌ لِلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ |
23 Whanne he stirith hym to seke breed, he woot, that the dai of derknessis is maad redi in his hond.
| تَائِهٌ هُوَ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْخُبْزِ حَيْثُمَا يَجِدْهُ، وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلظُّلْمَةِ مُهَيَّأٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ. | ٢٣ |
24 Tribulacioun schal make hym aferd, and angwisch schal cumpas hym, as a kyng which is maad redi to batel.
| يُرْهِبُهُ ٱلضُّرُّ وَٱلضَّيْقُ. يَتَجَبَّرَانِ عَلَيْهِ كَمَلِكٍ مُسْتَعِدٍّ لِلْوَغَى. | ٢٤ |
25 For he helde forth his hond ayens God, and he was maad strong ayens Almyyti God.
| لِأَنَّهُ مَدَّ عَلَى ٱللهِ يَدَهُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ تَجَبَّرَ | ٢٥ |
26 He ran with neck reisid ayens God, and he was armed with fat nol.
| عَادِيًا عَلَيْهِ، مُتَصَلِّبُ ٱلْعُنُقِ بِأَوْقَافِ مَجَانِّهِ مُعَبَّأَةً. | ٢٦ |
27 Fatnesse, that is, pride `comyng forth of temporal aboundaunce, hilide his face, `that is, the knowyng of vndurstondyng, and outward fatnesse hangith doun of his sidis.
| لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ كَسَا وَجْهَهُ سَمْنًا، وَرَبَّى شَحْمًا عَلَى كِلْيَتَيْهِ، | ٢٧ |
28 He schal dwelle in desolat citees, and in deseert, `ethir forsakun, housis, that ben turned in to biriels.
| فَيَسْكُنُ مُدُنًا خَرِبَةً، بُيُوتًا غَيْرَ مَسْكُونَةٍ عَتِيدَةً أَنْ تَصِيرَ رُجَمًا. | ٢٨ |
29 He schal not be maad riche, nether his catel schal dwelle stidefastli; nether he schal sende his roote in the erthe,
| لَا يَسْتَغْنِي، وَلَا تَثْبُتُ ثَرْوَتُهُ، وَلَا يَمْتَدُّ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ مُقْتَنَاهُ. | ٢٩ |
30 nether he schal go awei fro derknessis. Flawme schal make drie hise braunchis, and he schal be takun a wey bi the spirit of his mouth.
| لَا تَزُولُ عَنْهُ ٱلظُّلْمَةُ. خَرَاعِيبُهُ تُيَبِّسُهَا ٱلسُّمُومُ، وَبِنَفْخَةِ فَمِهِ يَزُولُ. | ٣٠ |
31 Bileue he not veynli disseyued bi errour, that he schal be ayenbouyt bi ony prijs.
| لَا يَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱلسُّوءِ. يَضِلُّ. لِأَنَّ ٱلسُّوءَ يَكُونُ أُجْرَتَهُ. | ٣١ |
32 Bifor that hise daies ben fillid, he schal perische, and hise hondis schulen wexe drye;
| قَبْلَ يَوْمِهِ يُتَوَفَّى، وَسَعَفُهُ لَا يَخْضَرُّ. | ٣٢ |
33 he schal be hirt as a vyne in the firste flour of his grape, and as an olyue tre castinge awei his flour.
| يُسَاقِطُ كَٱلْجَفْنَةِ حِصْرِمَهُ، وَيَنْثُرُ كَٱلزَّيْتُونِ زَهْرُهُ. | ٣٣ |
34 For the gaderyng togidere of an ipocrite is bareyn, and fier schal deuoure the tabernaclis of hem, that taken yiftis wilfuli.
| لِأَنَّ جَمَاعَةَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ عَاقِرٌ، وَٱلنَّارُ تَأْكُلُ خِيَامَ ٱلرَّشْوَةِ. | ٣٤ |
35 He conseyuede sorewe, and childide wickidnesse, and his wombe makith redi tretcheries.
| حَبِلَ شَقَاوَةً وَوَلَدَ إِثْمًا، وَبَطْنُهُ أَنْشَأَ غِشًّا». | ٣٥ |
