Job 8
1 Sotheli Baldath Suytes answeride, and seide,
| فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ |
2 Hou longe schalt thou speke siche thingis? The spirit of the word of thi mouth is manyfold.
| «إِلَى مَتَى تَقُولُ هَذَا، وَتَكُونُ أَقْوَالُ فِيكَ رِيحًا شَدِيدَةً؟ | ٢ |
3 Whether God supplauntith, `ethir disseyueth, doom, and whether Almyyti God distrieth that, that is iust?
| هَلِ ٱللهُ يُعَوِّجُ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، أَوِ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يَعْكِسُ ٱلْحَقَّ؟ | ٣ |
4 Yhe, thouy thi sones synneden ayens hym, and he lefte hem in the hond of her wickidnesse;
| إِذْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْهِ بَنُوكَ، دَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 netheles, if thou risist eerli to God, and bisechist `Almyyti God, if thou goist clene and riytful,
| فَإِنْ بَكَّرْتَ أَنْتَ إِلَى ٱللهِ وَتَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ، | ٥ |
6 anoon he schal wake fulli to thee, and schal make pesible the dwellyng place of thi ryytfulnesse;
| إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ زَكِيًّا مُسْتَقِيمًا، فَإِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يَتَنَبَّهُ لَكَ وَيُسْلِمُ مَسْكَنَ بِرِّكَ. | ٦ |
7 in so miche that thi formere thingis weren litil, and that thi laste thingis be multiplied greetli.
| وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أُولَاكَ صَغِيرَةً فَآخِرَتُكَ تَكْثُرُ جِدًّا. | ٧ |
8 For whi, axe thou the formere generacioun, and seke thou diligentli the mynde of fadris.
| «اِسْأَلِ ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَى وَتَأَكَّدْ مَبَاحِثَ آبَائِهِمْ، | ٨ |
9 For we ben men of yistirdai, and `kunnen not; for oure daies ben as schadewe on the erthe.
| لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ مِنْ أَمْسٍ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ، لِأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ظِلٌّ. | ٩ |
10 And thei schulen teche thee, thei schulen speke to thee, and of her herte thei schulen bring forth spechis.
| فَهَلَّا يُعْلِمُونَكَ؟ يَقُولُونَ لَكَ، وَمِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ يُخْرِجُونَ أَقْوَالًا قَائِلِينَ: | ١٠ |
11 Whether a rusche may lyue with out moysture? ethir a spier `may wexe with out watir?
| هَلْ يَنْمِي ٱلْبَرْدِيُّ فِي غَيْرِ ٱلْغَمَقَةِ، أَوْ تَنْبُتُ ٱلْحَلْفَاءُ بِلَا مَاءٍ؟ | ١١ |
12 Whanne it is yit in the flour, nethir is takun with hond, it wexeth drie bifor alle erbis.
| وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي نَضَارَتِهِ لَمْ يُقْطَعْ، يَيْبَسُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ ٱلْعُشْبِ. | ١٢ |
13 So the weies of alle men, that foryeten God; and the hope of an ypocrite schal perische.
| هَكَذَا سُبُلُ كُلِّ ٱلنَّاسِينَ ٱللهَ، وَرَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ يَخِيبُ، | ١٣ |
14 His cowardise schal not plese hym, and his trist schal be as a web of yreyns.
| فَيَنْقَطِعُ ٱعْتِمَادُهُ، وَمُتَّكَلُهُ بَيْتُ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ! | ١٤ |
15 He schal leene, `ether reste, on his hows, and it schal not stonde; he schal vndursette it, and it schal not rise togidere.
| يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَلَا يَثْبُتُ. يَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ فَلَا يَقُومُ. | ١٥ |
16 The rusche semeth moist, bifor that the sunne come; and in the risyng of the sunne the seed therof schal go out.
| هُوَ رَطْبٌ تُجَاهَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَعَلَى جَنَّتِهِ تَنْبُتُ خَرَاعِيبُهُ. | ١٦ |
17 Rootis therof schulen be maad thicke on an heep of stoonys, and it schal dwelle among stoonys.
| وَأُصُولُهُ مُشْتَبِكَةٌ فِي ٱلرُّجْمَةِ، فَتَرَى مَحَلَّ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ. | ١٧ |
18 If a man drawith it out of `his place, his place schal denye it, and schal seie, Y knowe thee not.
| إِنِ ٱقْتَلَعَهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ، يَجْحَدُهُ قَائِلًا: مَا رَأَيْتُكَ! | ١٨ |
19 For this is the gladnesse of his weie, that eft othere ruschis springe out of the erthe.
| هَذَا هُوَ فَرَحُ طَرِيقِهِ، وَمِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ يَنْبُتُ آخَرُ. | ١٩ |
20 Forsothe God schal not caste a wei a symple man, nethir schal dresse hond to wickid men;
| «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ لَا يَرْفُضُ ٱلْكَامِلَ، وَلَا يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ. | ٢٠ |
21 til thi mouth be fillid with leiytir, and thi lippis with hertli song.
| عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ فَاكَ ضَحِكًا، وَشَفَتَيْكَ هُتَافًا، | ٢١ |
22 Thei that haten thee schulen be clothid with schenschip; and the tabernacle of wickid men schal not stonde.
| يَلْبَسُ مُبْغِضُوكَ خِزْيًا، أَمَّا خَيْمَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَلَا تَكُونُ». | ٢٢ |
