أَيُّوبَ 11
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
And Zophar the Naamathite answers and says:
| «أَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْكَلَامِ لَا يُجَاوَبُ، أَمْ رَجُلٌ مِهْذَارٌ يَتَبَرَّرُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
“Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?
| أَصَلَفُكَ يُفْحِمُ ٱلنَّاسَ، أَمْ تَلِخُّ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُخْزِيكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Your boastings make men keep silent, You scorn, and none is causing blushing!
| إِذْ تَقُولُ: تَعْلِيمِي زَكِيٌّ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيْكَ. | ٤ 4 |
And you say, My discourse [is] pure, And I have been clean in Your eyes.
| وَلَكِنْ يَا لَيْتَ ٱللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ مَعَكَ، | ٥ 5 |
And yet, O that God had spoken! And opens His lips with you.
| وَيُعْلِنُ لَكَ خَفِيَّاتِ ٱلْحِكْمَةِ! إِنَّهَا مُضَاعَفَةُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، فَتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُغْرِمُكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ إِثْمِكَ. | ٦ 6 |
And declares to you secrets of wisdom, for counsel has foldings. And know that God forgets of your iniquity for you.
| «أَإِلَى عُمْقِ ٱللهِ تَتَّصِلُ، أَمْ إِلَى نِهَايَةِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ تَنْتَهِي؟ | ٧ 7 |
Do you find out God by searching? To perfection find out the Mighty One?
| هُوَ أَعْلَى مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا عَسَاكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ أَعْمَقُ مِنَ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَدْرِي؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ 8 |
Heights of the heavens—what [can] you do? Deeper than Sheol—what [can] you know? (Sheol h7585)
| أَطْوَلُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ طُولُهُ، وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
Its measure [is] longer than earth, and broader than the sea.
| إِنْ بَطَشَ أَوْ أَغْلَقَ أَوْ جَمَّعَ، فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
If He passes on, and shuts up, and assembles, Who then reverses it?
| لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أُنَاسَ ٱلسُّوءِ، وَيُبْصِرُ ٱلْإِثْمَ، فَهَلْ لَا يَنْتَبِهُ؟ | ١١ 11 |
For He has known men of vanity, And He sees iniquity, And one does not consider [it]!
| أَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ فَفَارِغٌ عَدِيمُ ٱلْفَهْمِ، وَكَجَحْشِ ٱلْفَرَا يُولَدُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And empty man is bold, And man is born [as] the colt of a wild donkey.
| «إِنْ أَعْدَدْتَ أَنْتَ قَلْبَكَ، وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ. | ١٣ 13 |
If you have prepared your heart, And have spread out your hands to Him,
| إِنْ أَبْعَدْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ ٱلَّذِي فِي يَدِكَ، وَلَا يَسْكُنُ ٱلظُّلْمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ، | ١٤ 14 |
If iniquity [is] in your hand, put it far off, And do not let perverseness dwell in your tents.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِلَا عَيْبٍ، وَتَكُونُ ثَابِتًا وَلَا تَخَافُ. | ١٥ 15 |
For then you lift up your face from blemish, And you have been firm, and do not fear.
| لِأَنَّكَ تَنْسَى ٱلْمَشَقَّةَ. كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ تَذْكُرُهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
For you forget misery, As waters passed away you remember.
| وَفَوْقَ ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ يَقُومُ حَظُّكَ. ٱلظَّلَامُ يَتَحَوَّلُ صَبَاحًا. | ١٧ 17 |
And age rises above the noon, You fly—you are as the morning.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لِأَنَّهُ يُوجَدُ رَجَاءٌ. تَتَجَسَّسُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَضْطَجِعُ آمِنًا. | ١٨ 18 |
And you have trusted because there is hope, And searched—in confidence you lie down,
| وَتَرْبِضُ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ يُزْعِجُ، وَيَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ كَثِيرُونَ. | ١٩ 19 |
And you have rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have begged [at] your face;
| أَمَّا عُيُونُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَتَتْلَفُ، وَمَنَاصُهُمْ يَبِيدُ، وَرَجَاؤُهُمْ تَسْلِيمُ ٱلنَّفْسِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge has perished from them, And their hope [is] a breathing out of soul!”
