< أَيُّوبَ 17 >

«رُوحِي تَلِفَتْ. أَيَّامِي ٱنْطَفَأَتْ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْقُبُورُ لِي. ١ 1
I perish, carried away by the wind, and I seek for burial, and obtain [it] not.
«لَوْلَا ٱلْمُخَاتِلُونَ عِنْدِي، وَعَيْنِي تَبِيتُ عَلَى مُشَاجَرَاتِهِمْ. ٢ 2
Weary I intreat; and what have I done? and strangers have stolen my goods.
كُنْ ضَامِنِي عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ. مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَفِّقُ يَدِي؟ ٣ 3
Who is this? let him join hands with me.
لِأَنَّكَ مَنَعْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْفِطْنَةِ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَرْفَعُهُمُ. ٤ 4
For thou hast hid their heart from wisdom; therefore thou shalt not exalt them.
ٱلَّذِي يُسَلِّمُ ٱلْأَصْحَابَ لِلسَّلْبِ، تَتْلَفُ عُيُونُ بَنِيهِ. ٥ 5
He shall promise mischief to [his] companions: but [their] eyes have failed for [their] children.
أَوْقَفَنِي مَثَلًا لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَصِرْتُ لِلْبَصْقِ فِي ٱلْوَجْهِ. ٦ 6
But thou has made me a byword amount the nations, and I am become a scorn to them.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ، وَأَعْضَائِي كُلُّهَا كَٱلظِّلِّ. ٧ 7
For my eyes are dimmed through pain; I have been grievously beset by all.
يَتَعَجَّبُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَنْتَهِضُ عَلَى ٱلْفَاجِرِ. ٨ 8
Wonder has seized true men upon this; and let the just rise up against the transgressor.
أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَسْتَمْسِكُ بِطَرِيقِهِ، وَٱلطَّاهِرُ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ يَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً. ٩ 9
But let the faithful hold on his own way, and let him that is pure of hands take courage.
«وَلَكِنِ ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا، فَلَا أَجِدُ فِيكُمْ حَكِيمًا. ١٠ 10
Howbeit, do ye all strengthen [yourselves] and come now, for I do not find truth in you.
أَيَّامِي قَدْ عَبَرَتْ. مَقَاصِدِي، إِرْثُ قَلْبِي، قَدِ ٱنْتَزَعَتْ. ١١ 11
My days have passed in groaning, and my heart-strings are broken.
يَجْعَلُونَ ٱللَّيْلَ نَهَارًا، نُورًا قَرِيبًا لِلظُّلْمَةِ. ١٢ 12
I have turned the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
إِذَا رَجَوْتُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ بَيْتًا لِي، وَفِي ٱلظَّلَامِ مَهَّدْتُ فِرَاشِي، (Sheol h7585) ١٣ 13
For if I remain, Hades is my habitation: and my bed has been made in darkness. (Sheol h7585)
وَقُلْتُ لِلْقَبْرِ: أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلدُّودِ: أَنْتَ أُمِّي وَأُخْتِي، ١٤ 14
I have called upon death to be my father, and corruption [to be] my mother and sister.
فَأَيْنَ إِذًا آمَالِي؟ آمَالِي، مَنْ يُعَايِنُهَا؟ ١٥ 15
Where then is yet my hope? or [where] shall I see my good?
تَهْبِطُ إِلَى مَغَالِيقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ إِذْ تَرْتَاحُ مَعًا فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ». (Sheol h7585) ١٦ 16
Will they go down with me to Hades, or shall we go down together to the tomb? (Sheol h7585)
