أَيُّوبَ 2
| وَكَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَنَّهُ جَاءَ بَنُو ٱللهِ لِيَمْثُلُوا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَجَاءَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضًا فِي وَسْطِهِمْ لِيَمْثُلَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١ 1 |
And the day is, that sons of God come to station themselves by YHWH, and there also comes Satan in their midst to station himself by YHWH.
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «مِنَ ٱلْجَوَلَانِ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَمِنَ ٱلتَّمَشِّي فِيهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And YHWH says to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answers YHWH and says, “From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَلْ جَعَلْتَ قَلْبَكَ عَلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ؟ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِثْلُهُ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ. رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ وَمُسْتَقِيمٌ يَتَّقِي ٱللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ. وَإِلَى ٱلْآنَ هُوَ مُتَمَسِّكٌ بِكَمَالِهِ، وَقَدْ هَيَّجْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ لِأَبْتَلِعَهُ بِلَا سَبَبٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And YHWH says to Satan, “Have you set your heart to My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and you move Me against him to swallow him up for nothing!”
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «جِلْدٌ بِجِلْدٍ، وَكُلُّ مَا لِلْإِنْسَانِ يُعْطِيهِ لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And Satan answers YHWH and says, “A skin for a skin, and all that a man has he gives for his life.
| وَلَكِنْ ٱبْسِطِ ٱلْآنَ يَدَكَ وَمَسَّ عَظْمَهُ وَلَحْمَهُ، فَإِنَّهُ فِي وَجْهِكَ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْكَ». | ٥ 5 |
Yet, put forth Your hand now, and strike to his bone and to his flesh—if not, he blesses You to Your face!”
| فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَا هُوَ فِي يَدِكَ، وَلَكِنِ ٱحْفَظْ نَفْسَهُ». | ٦ 6 |
And YHWH says to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand; only take care of his life.”
| فَخَرَجَ ٱلشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَضَرَبَ أَيُّوبَ بِقُرْحٍ رَدِيءٍ مِنْ بَاطِنِ قَدَمِهِ إِلَى هَامَتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
And Satan goes forth from the presence of YHWH, and strikes Job with a severe ulcer from the sole of his foot to his crown.
| فَأَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ شَقَفَةً لِيَحْتَكَّ بِهَا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي وَسْطِ ٱلرَّمَادِ. | ٨ 8 |
And he takes to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ ٱمْرَأَتُهُ: «أَنْتَ مُتَمَسِّكٌ بَعْدُ بِكَمَالِكَ؟ بَارِكِ ٱللهَ وَمُتْ!». | ٩ 9 |
And his wife says to him, “You are still keeping hold on your integrity: bless God and die.”
| فَقَالَ لَهَا: «تَتَكَلَّمِينَ كَلَامًا كَإِحْدَى ٱلْجَاهِلَاتِ! أَٱلْخَيْرَ نَقْبَلُ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَٱلشَّرَّ لَا نَقْبَلُ؟». فِي كُلِّ هَذَا لَمْ يُخْطِئْ أَيُّوبُ بِشَفَتَيْهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And he says to her, “As one of the foolish women speaks, you speak; indeed, do we receive the good from God, and we do not receive the bad?” In all this Job has not sinned with his lips.
| فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَصْحَابُ أَيُّوبَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ بِكُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي أَتَى عَلَيْهِ، جَاءُوا كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ: أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَتَوَاعَدُوا أَنْ يَأْتُوا لِيَرْثُوا لَهُ وَيُعَزُّوهُ. | ١١ 11 |
And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that has come on him, and they each come in from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they have met together to come to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
| وَرَفَعُوا أَعْيُنَهُمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ، فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ وَبَكَوْا، وَمَزَّقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ جُبَّتَهُ، وَذَرَّوْا تُرَابًا فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ نَحْوَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، | ١٢ 12 |
and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and each tears his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads—heavenward.
| وَقَعَدُوا مَعَهُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَ لَيَالٍ، وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ أَحَدٌ بِكَلِمَةٍ، لِأَنَّهُمْ رَأَوْا أَنَّ كَآبَتَهُ كَانَتْ عَظِيمَةً جِدًّا. | ١٣ 13 |
And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking to him a word when they have seen that the pain has been very great.
