Job 18
1 Forsothe Baldach Suythes answeride, and seide,
| فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 `Til to what ende schalt thou booste with wordis? Vndurstonde thou first, and so speke we.
| «إِلَى مَتَى تَضَعُونَ أَشْرَاكًا لِلْكَلَامِ؟ تَعَقَّلُوا وَبَعْدُ نَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٢ |
3 Whi ben we arettid as beestis, and han we be foule bifor thee?
| لِمَاذَا حُسِبْنَا كَٱلْبَهِيمَةِ، وَتَنَجَّسْنَا فِي عُيُونِكُمْ؟ | ٣ |
4 What leesist thou thi soule in thi woodnes? Whether the erthe schal be forsakun `for thee, and hard stoonys schulen be borun ouer fro her place?
| يَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْمُفْتَرِسُ نَفْسَهُ فِي غَيْظِهِ، هَلْ لِأَجْلِكَ تُخْلَى ٱلْأَرْضُ، أَوْ يُزَحْزَحُ ٱلصَّخْرُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ؟ | ٤ |
5 Whethir the liyt of a wickid man schal not be quenchid; and the flawme of his fier schal not schyne?
| «نَعَمْ! نُورُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ يَنْطَفِئُ، وَلَا يُضِيءُ لَهِيبُ نَارِهِ. | ٥ |
6 Liyt schal wexe derke in his tabernacle; and the lanterne, which is on hym, schal be quenchid.
| ٱلنُّورُ يُظْلِمُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ، وَسِرَاجُهُ فَوْقَهُ يَنْطَفِئُ. | ٦ |
7 The steppis of his vertu schulen be maad streit; and his counsel schal caste hym doun.
| تَقْصُرُ خَطَوَاتُ قُوَّتِهِ، وَتَصْرَعُهُ مَشُورَتُهُ. | ٧ |
8 For he hath sent hise feet in to a net; and he goith in the meschis therof.
| لِأَنَّ رِجْلَيْهِ تَدْفَعَانِهِ فِي ٱلْمِصْلَاةِ فَيَمْشِي إِلَى شَبَكَةٍ. | ٨ |
9 His foot schal be holdun with a snare; and thirst schal brenne out ayens hym.
| يُمْسِكُ ٱلْفَخُّ بِعَقِبِهِ، وَتَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ ٱلشَّرَكُ. | ٩ |
10 The foot trappe of hym is hid in the erthe, and his snare on the path.
| مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ حِبَالَتُهُ، وَمِصْيَدَتُهُ فِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ. | ١٠ |
11 Dredis schulen make hym aferd on ech side, and schulen biwlappe hise feet.
| تُرْهِبُهُ أَهْوَالٌ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ، وَتَذْعَرُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ. | ١١ |
12 His strengthe be maad feble bi hungur; and pouert asaile hise ribbis.
| تَكُونُ قُوَّتُهُ جَائِعَةً وَٱلْبَوَارُ مُهَيَّأٌ بِجَانِبِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Deuoure it the fairnesse of his skyn; the firste gendrid deth waste hise armes.
| يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَ جَسَدِهِ. يَأْكُلُ أَعْضَاءَهُ بِكْرُ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٣ |
14 His trist be takun awei fro his tabernacle; and perischyng, as a kyng, aboue trede on hym.
| يَنْقَطِعُ عَنْ خَيْمَتِهِ، عَنِ ٱعْتِمَادِهِ، وَيُسَاقُ إِلَى مَلِكِ ٱلْأَهْوَالِ. | ١٤ |
15 The felowis of hym that is not, dwelle in his tabernacle; brymston be spreynt in his tabernacle.
| يَسْكُنُ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ. يُذَرُّ عَلَى مَرْبِضِهِ كِبْرِيتٌ. | ١٥ |
16 The rootis of hym be maad drie bynethe; sotheli his ripe corn be al to-brokun aboue.
| مِنْ تَحْتُ تَيْبَسُ أُصُولُهُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقُ يُقْطَعُ فَرْعُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 His mynde perische fro the erthe; and his name be not maad solempne in stretis.
| ذِكْرُهُ يَبِيدُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَلَا ٱسْمَ لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْبَرِّ. | ١٧ |
18 He schal put hym out fro `liyt in to derknessis; and he schal bere hym ouer fro the world.
| يُدْفَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلْمَةِ، وَمِنَ ٱلْمَسْكُونَةِ يُطْرَدُ. | ١٨ |
19 Nethir his seed nether kynrede schal be in his puple, nether ony relifs in hise cuntreis.
| لَا نَسْلَ وَلَا عَقِبَ لَهُ بَيْنَ شَعْبِهِ، وَلَا شَارِدَ فِي مَحَالِّهِ. | ١٩ |
20 The laste men schulen wondre in hise daies; and hidousnesse schal asaile the firste men.
| يَتَعَجَّبُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرُونَ، وَيَقْشَعِرُّ ٱلْأَقْدَمُونَ. | ٢٠ |
21 Therfor these ben the tabernaclis of a wickid man; and this is the place of hym, that knowith not God.
| إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ مَسَاكِنُ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ، وَهَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ». | ٢١ |
