أَيُّوبَ 11
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,
| «أَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْكَلَامِ لَا يُجَاوَبُ، أَمْ رَجُلٌ مِهْذَارٌ يَتَبَرَّرُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
| أَصَلَفُكَ يُفْحِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ، أَمْ تَلِخُّ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُخْزِيكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mock, shall no man make thee ashamed?
| إِذْ تَقُولُ: تَعْلِيمِي زَكِيٌّ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. | ٤ 4 |
For thou say, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
| وَلَكِنْ يَا لَيْتَ ٱللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ مَعَكَ، | ٥ 5 |
But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,
| وَيُعْلِنُ لَكَ خَفِيَّاتِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ! إِنَّهَا مُضَاعَفَةُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، فَتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُغْرِمُكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ إِثْمِكَ. | ٦ 6 |
and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of thee less than thine iniquity deserves.
| «أَإِلَى عُمْقِ ٱللهِ تَتَّصِلُ، أَمْ إِلَى نِهَايَةِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ تَنْتَهِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
Can thou find out God by searching? Can thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
| هُوَ أَعْلَى مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا عَسَاكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَدْرِي؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ 8 |
It is high as heaven; what can thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what can thou know? (Sheol h7585)
| أَطْوَلُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولُهُ، وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| إِنْ بَطَشَ أَوْ أَغْلَقَ أَوْ جَمَّعَ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
If he passes through, and shuts up, and all to judgment, then who can hinder him?
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أُنَاسَ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَيُبْصِرُ ٱلْإِثْمَ، فَهَلْ لَا يَنْتَبِهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
For he knows false men. He also sees iniquity. Will he not then consider it?
| أَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَفَارِغٌ عَدِيمُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، وَكَجَحْشِ ٱلْفَرَا يُولَدُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ١٢ 12 |
But vain man is void of understanding. Yea, man is born as a wild donkey's colt.
| «إِنْ أَعْدَدْتَ أَنْتَ قَلْبَكَ، وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward him,
| إِنْ أَبْعَدْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِي يَدِكَ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ ٱلظُّلْمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ، | ١٤ 14 |
if iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِلَا عَيْبٍ، وَتَكُونُ ثَابِتًا وَلَا تَخَافُ. | ١٥ 15 |
Surely then thou shall lift up thy face without spot. Yea, thou shall be steadfast, and shall not fear.
| لِأَنَّكَ تَنْسَى ٱلْمَشَقَّةَ. كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ تَذْكُرُهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
For thou shall forget thy misery. Thou shall remember it as waters that are passed away.
| وَفَوْقَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ يَقُومُ حَظُّكَ. ٱلظَّلَامُ يَتَحَوَّلُ صَبَاحًا. | ١٧ 17 |
And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. تَتَجَسَّسُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَضْطَجِعُ آمِنًا. | ١٨ 18 |
And thou shall be secure, because there is hope. Yea, thou shall search about thee, and shall take thy rest in safety.
| وَتَرْبِضُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُزْعِجُ، وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ كَثِيرُونَ. | ١٩ 19 |
Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid. Yea, many shall correspond with thee.
| أَمَّا عُيُونُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتَتْلَفُ، وَمَنَاصُهُمْ يَبِيدُ، وَرَجَاؤُهُمْ تَسْلِيمُ ٱلنَّفْسِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee. And their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit.
