أَيُّوبَ 10
| «قَدْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسِي حَيَاتِي. أُسَيِّبُ شَكْوَايَ. أَتَكَلَّمُ فِي مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي | ١ 1 |
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
| قَائِلًا لِلهِ: لَا تَسْتَذْنِبْنِي. فَهِّمْنِي لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُنِي! | ٢ 2 |
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why thou contendest with me.
| أَحَسَنٌ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَظْلِمَ، أَنْ تُرْذِلَ عَمَلَ يَدَيْكَ، وَتُشْرِقَ عَلَى مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ | ٣ 3 |
[Is it] good to thee that thou shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
| أَلَكَ عَيْنَا بَشَرٍ، أَمْ كَنَظَرِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَنْظُرُ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
| أَأَيَّامُكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَمْ سِنُوكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ٥ 5 |
[Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's days,
| حَتَّى تَبْحَثَ عَنْ إِثْمِي وَتُفَتِّشَ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٦ 6 |
That thou inquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
| فِي عِلْمِكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مُذْنِبًا، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thy hand.
| «يَدَاكَ كَوَّنَتَانِي وَصَنَعَتَانِي كُلِّي جَمِيعًا، أَفَتَبْتَلِعُنِي؟ | ٨ 8 |
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me in all my parts; yet thou dost destroy me.
| اُذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ جَبَلْتَنِي كَٱلطِّينِ، أَفَتُعِيدُنِي إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
| أَلَمْ تَصُبَّنِي كَٱللَّبَنِ، وَخَثَّرْتَنِي كَٱلْجُبْنِ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
| كَسَوْتَنِي جِلْدًا وَلَحْمًا، فَنَسَجْتَنِي بِعِظَامٍ وَعَصَبٍ. | ١١ 11 |
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
| مَنَحْتَنِي حَيَاةً وَرَحْمَةً، وَحَفِظَتْ عِنَايَتُكَ رُوحِي. | ١٢ 12 |
Thou hast granted me life and favor, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
| لَكِنَّكَ كَتَمْتَ هَذِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ. عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ هَذَا عِنْدَكَ: | ١٣ 13 |
And these [things] hast thou hid in thy heart: I know that this [is] with thee.
| إِنْ أَخْطَأْتُ تُلَاحِظُنِي وَلَا تُبْرِئُنِي مِنْ إِثْمِي. | ١٤ 14 |
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from my iniquity.
| إِنْ أَذْنَبْتُ فَوَيْلٌ لِي، وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي. إِنِّي شَبْعَانُ هَوَانًا وَنَاظِرٌ مَذَلَّتِي. | ١٥ 15 |
If I be wicked, woe to me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet] will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction;
| وَإِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ تَصْطَادُنِي كَأَسَدٍ، ثُمَّ تَعُودُ وَتَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ. | ١٦ 16 |
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself wonderful upon me.
| تُجَدِّدُ شُهُودَكَ تُجَاهِي، وَتَزِيدُ غَضَبَكَ عَلَيَّ. نُوبٌ وَجَيْشٌ ضِدِّي. | ١٧ 17 |
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thy indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me.
| «فَلِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ؟ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ٱلرُّوحَ وَلَمْ تَرَنِي عَيْنٌ! | ١٨ 18 |
Why then hast thou brought me forth from the womb? O that I had expired, and no eye had seen me!
| فَكُنْتُ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ، فَأُقَادَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ. | ١٩ 19 |
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
| أَلَيْسَتْ أَيَّامِي قَلِيلَةً؟ ٱتْرُكْ! كُفَّ عَنِّي فَأَتَبَلَّجَ قَلِيلًا، | ٢٠ 20 |
[Are] not my days few? cease [then], [and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
| قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَلَا أَعُودَ. إِلَى أَرْضِ ظُلْمَةٍ وَظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ، | ٢١ 21 |
Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness, and the shades of death;
| أَرْضِ ظَلَامٍ مِثْلِ دُجَى ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَبِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، وَإِشْرَاقُهَا كَٱلدُّجَى». | ٢٢ 22 |
A land of darkness, as darkness [itself]; [and] of the shades of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.
