< أَيُّوبَ 27 >

وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ: ١ 1
Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
«حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي، ٢ 2
The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.
إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، ٣ 3
Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,
لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ. ٤ 4
My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي. ٥ 5
God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.
تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي. ٦ 6
I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٧ 7
Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.
لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟ ٨ 8
For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?
أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟ ٩ 9
Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟ ١٠ 10
Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?
«إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. ١١ 11
I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.
هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ: ١٢ 12
Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?
هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ ٱلْعُتَاةِ ٱلَّذِي يَنَالُونَهُ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. ١٣ 13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا. ١٤ 14
If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.
بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي. ١٥ 15
His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.
إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ، ١٦ 16
Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,
فَهُوَ يُعِدُّ وَٱلْبَارُّ يَلْبَسُهُ، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَقْسِمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ. ١٧ 17
He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.
يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَٱلْعُثِّ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱلنَّاطُورُ. ١٨ 18
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ. ١٩ 19
When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.
ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ. ٢٠ 20
Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.
تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢١ 21
The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.
يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا. ٢٢ 22
And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.
يَصْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَيَصْفِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢٣ 23
Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.
