< أَيُّوبَ 16 >

فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: ١ 1
Then Job answered:
«قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَثِيرًا مِثْلَ هَذَا. مُعَزُّونَ مُتْعِبُونَ كُلُّكُمْ! ٢ 2
“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all.
هَلْ مِنْ نِهَايَةٍ لِكَلَامٍ فَارِغٍ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يُهَيِّجُكَ حَتَّى تُجَاوِبَ؟ ٣ 3
Is there no end to your long-winded speeches? What provokes you to continue testifying?
أَنَا أَيْضًا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مِثْلَكُمْ، لَوْ كَانَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مَكَانَ نَفْسِي، وَأَنْ أَسْرُدَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْوَالًا وَأُنْغِضَ رَأْسِي إِلَيْكُمْ. ٤ 4
I could also speak like you if you were in my place; I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
بَلْ كُنْتُ أُشَدِّدُكُمْ بِفَمِي، وَتَعْزِيَةُ شَفَتَيَّ تُمْسِكُكُمْ. ٥ 5
But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.
«إِنْ تَكَلَّمْتُ لَمْ تَمْتَنِعْ كَآبَتِي، وَإِنْ سَكَتُّ فَمَاذَا يَذْهَبُ عَنِّي؟ ٦ 6
Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?
إِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ ضَجَّرَنِي. خَرَّبْتَ كُلَّ جَمَاعَتِي. ٧ 7
Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.
قَبَضْتَ عَلَيَّ. وُجِدَ شَاهِدٌ. قَامَ عَلَيَّ هُزَالِي يُجَاوِبُ فِي وَجْهِي. ٨ 8
You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
غَضَبُهُ ٱفْتَرَسَنِي وَٱضْطَهَدَنِي. حَرَقَ عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُ. عَدُوِّي يُحَدِّدُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَلَيَّ. ٩ 9
His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ. لَطَمُونِي عَلَى فَكِّي تَعْيِيرًا. تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَيَّ جَمِيعًا. ١٠ 10
They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.
دَفَعَنِيَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلظَّالِمِ، وَفِي أَيْدِي ٱلْأَشْرَارِ طَرَحَنِي. ١١ 11
God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
كُنْتُ مُسْتَرِيحًا فَزَعْزَعَنِي، وَأَمْسَكَ بِقَفَايَ فَحَطَّمَنِي، وَنَصَبَنِي لَهُ غَرَضًا. ١٢ 12
I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;
أَحَاطَتْ بِي رُمَاتُهُ. شَقَّ كُلْيَتَيَّ وَلَمْ يُشْفِقْ. سَفَكَ مَرَارَتِي عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٣ 13
His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.
يَقْتَحِمُنِي ٱقْتِحَامًا عَلَى ٱقْتِحَامٍ. يَعْدُو عَلَيَّ كَجَبَّارٍ. ١٤ 14
He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
خِطْتُ مِسْحًا عَلَى جِلْدِي، وَدَسَسْتُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ قَرْنِي. ١٥ 15
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
اِحْمَرَّ وَجْهِي مِنَ ٱلْبُكَاءِ، وَعَلَى هُدْبِي ظِلُّ ٱلْمَوْتِ. ١٦ 16
My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;
مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا ظُلْمَ فِي يَدِي، وَصَلَاتِي خَالِصَةٌ. ١٧ 17
yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
«يَا أَرْضُ لَا تُغَطِّي دَمِي، وَلَا يَكُنْ مَكَانٌ لِصُرَاخِي. ١٨ 18
O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.
أَيْضًا ٱلْآنَ هُوَذَا فِي ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ شَهِيدِي، وَشَاهِدِي فِي ٱلْأَعَالِي. ١٩ 19
Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي هُمْ أَصْحَابِي. لِلهِ تَقْطُرُ عَيْنِي ٢٠ 20
My friends are my scoffers as my eyes pour out tears to God.
لِكَيْ يُحَاكِمَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ كَٱبْنِ آدَمَ لَدَى صَاحِبِهِ. ٢١ 21
Oh, that a man might plead with God as he pleads with his neighbor!
إِذَا مَضَتْ سِنُونَ قَلِيلَةٌ أَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيقٍ لَا أَعُودُ مِنْهَا. ٢٢ 22
For when only a few years are past I will go the way of no return.
