أَيُّوبَ 26
| فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then Job responded by saying:
| «كَيْفَ أَعَنْتَ مَنْ لَا قُوَّةَ لَهُ، وَخَلَّصْتَ ذِرَاعًا لَا عِزَّ لَهَا؟ | ٢ 2 |
Whose assistant are you? Is he weak-minded? And do you sustain the arm of him that is not strong?
| كَيْفَ أَشَرْتَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا حِكْمَةَ لَهُ، وَأَظْهَرْتَ ٱلْفَهْمَ بِكَثْرَةٍ؟ | ٣ 3 |
To whom have you given advice? Perhaps it is to him that has no wisdom or prudence that you have revealed your many ideas.
| لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالًا، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟ | ٤ 4 |
Who is it that you wanted to teach? Was it not him that created the breath of life?
| «اَلْأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Behold, giant things groan under the waters, and they dwell with them.
| ٱلْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَٱلْهَلَاكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ. (Sheol h7585) | ٦ 6 |
The underworld is naked before him, and there is no covering for perdition. (Sheol h7585)
| يَمُدُّ ٱلشَّمَالَ عَلَى ٱلْخَلَاءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ ٱلْأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ. | ٧ 7 |
He stretched out the North over emptiness, and he suspended the land over nothing.
| يَصُرُّ ٱلْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلَا يَتَمَزَّقُ ٱلْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا. | ٨ 8 |
He secures the waters in his clouds, so that they do not burst forth downward all at once.
| يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ. | ٩ 9 |
He holds back the face of his throne, and he stretches his cloud over it.
| رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ ٱتِّصَالِ ٱلنُّورِ بِٱلظُّلْمَةِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He has set limits around the waters, until light and darkness shall reach their limit.
| أَعْمِدَةُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
The pillars of heaven tremble and are frightened at his nod.
| بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ ٱلْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ. | ١٢ 12 |
By his strength, the seas suddenly gather together, and his foresight has struck the arrogant.
| بِنَفْخَتِهِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا ٱلْحَيَّةَ ٱلْهَارِبَةَ. | ١٣ 13 |
His spirit has adorned the heavens, and his birthing hand has brought forth the winding serpent.
| هَا هَذِهِ أَطْرَافُ طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَضَ ٱلْكَلَامَ ٱلَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا رَعْدُ جَبَرُوتِهِ فَمَنْ يَفْهَمُ؟». | ١٤ 14 |
Behold, these things have been said about his ways in part, and, since we barely have heard a small drop of his word, who will be able to gaze upon the thunder of his greatness?
