< أَيُّوبَ 13 >

«هَذَا كُلُّهُ رَأَتْهُ عَيْنِي. سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنِي وَفَطِنَتْ بِهِ. ١ 1
Lo, my eye hath seen all [this], my ear hath heard and understood it.
مَا تَعْرِفُونَهُ عَرَفْتُهُ أَنَا أَيْضًا. لَسْتُ دُونَكُمْ. ٢ 2
What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior to you.
وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ ٱلْقَدِيرَ، وَأَنْ أُحَاكَمَ إِلَى ٱللهِ. ٣ 3
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَمُلَفِّقُو كَذِبٍ. أَطِبَّاءُ بَطَّالُونَ كُلُّكُمْ. ٤ 4
But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value.
لَيْتَكُمْ تَصْمُتُونَ صَمْتًا. يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ حِكْمَةً. ٥ 5
O that ye would altogether hold your peace and it would be your wisdom.
اِسْمَعُوا ٱلْآنَ حُجَّتِي، وَٱصْغُوا إِلَى دَعَاوِي شَفَتَيَّ. ٦ 6
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
أَتَقُولُونَ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ ظُلْمًا، وَتَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِغِشٍّ لِأَجْلِهِ؟ ٧ 7
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
أَتُحَابُونَ وَجْهَهُ، أَمْ عَنِ ٱللهِ تُخَاصِمُونَ؟ ٨ 8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
أَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ أَنْ يَفْحَصَكُمْ، أَمْ تُخَاتِلُونَهُ كَمَا يُخَاتَلُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ؟ ٩ 9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye [so] mock him?
تَوْبِيخًا يُوَبِّخُكُمْ إِنْ حَابَيْتُمُ ٱلْوُجُوهَ خِفْيَةً. ١٠ 10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
فَهَلَّا يُرْهِبُكُمْ جَلَالُهُ، وَيَسْقُطُ عَلَيْكُمْ رُعْبُهُ؟ ١١ 11
Shall not his excellence make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
خُطَبُكُمْ أَمْثَالُ رَمَادٍ، وَحُصُونُكُمْ حُصُونٌ مِنْ طِينٍ. ١٢ 12
Your remembrances [are] like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
«اُسْكُتُوا عَنِّي فَأَتَكَلَّمَ أَنَا، وَلْيُصِبْنِي مَهْمَا أَصَابَ. ١٣ 13
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will].
لِمَاذَا آخُذُ لَحْمِي بِأَسْنَانِي، وَأَضَعُ نَفْسِي فِي كَفِّي؟ ١٤ 14
Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
هُوَذَا يَقْتُلُنِي. لَا أَنْتَظِرُ شَيْئًا. فَقَطْ أُزَكِّي طَرِيقِي قُدَّامَهُ. ١٥ 15
Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
فَهَذَا يَعُودُ إِلَى خَلَاصِي، أَنَّ ٱلْفَاجِرَ لَا يَأْتِي قُدَّامَهُ. ١٦ 16
He also [shall be] my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
سَمْعًا ٱسْمَعُوا أَقْوَالِي وَتَصْرِيحِي بِمَسَامِعِكُمْ. ١٧ 17
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ أَحْسَنْتُ ٱلدَّعْوَى. أَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَتَبَرَّرُ. ١٨ 18
Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified.
مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُخَاصِمُنِي حَتَّى أَصْمُتَ ٱلْآنَ وَأُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ؟ ١٩ 19
Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall expire.
إِنَّمَا أَمْرَيْنِ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي، فَحِينَئِذٍ لَا أَخْتَفِي مِنْ حَضْرَتِكَ. ٢٠ 20
Only do not two [things] to me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
أَبْعِدْ يَدَيْكَ عَنِّي، وَلَا تَدَعْ هَيْبَتَكَ تُرْعِبُنِي. ٢١ 21
Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
ثُمَّ ٱدْعُ فَأَنَا أُجِيبُ، أَوْ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَتُجَاوِبُنِي. ٢٢ 22
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
كَمْ لِي مِنَ ٱلْآثَامِ وَٱلْخَطَايَا؟ أَعْلِمْنِي ذَنْبِي وَخَطِيَّتِي. ٢٣ 23
How many [are] my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
لِمَاذَا تَحْجُبُ وَجْهَكَ، وَتَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَكَ؟ ٢٤ 24
Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy?
أَتُرْعِبُ وَرَقَةً مُنْدَفَعَةً، وَتُطَارِدُ قَشًّا يَابِسًا؟ ٢٥ 25
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
لِأَنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ عَلَيَّ أُمُورًا مُرَّةً، وَوَرَّثْتَنِي آثَامَ صِبَايَ، ٢٦ 26
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
فَجَعَلْتَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ، وَلَاحَظْتَ جَمِيعَ مَسَالِكِي، وَعَلَى أُصُولِ رِجْلَيَّ نَبَشْتَ. ٢٧ 27
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly to all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
وَأَنَا كَمُتَسَوِّسٍ يَبْلَى، كَثَوْبٍ أَكَلَهُ ٱلْعُثُّ. ٢٨ 28
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
