< أَيُّوبَ 27 >

وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ: ١ 1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
«حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي، ٢ 2
[As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، ٣ 3
All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is] in my nostrils;
لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ. ٤ 4
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي. ٥ 5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي. ٦ 6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٧ 7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟ ٨ 8
For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟ ٩ 9
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟ ١٠ 10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
«إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. ١١ 11
I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ: ١٢ 12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it; ] why then are ye thus altogether vain?
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 oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا. ١٤ 14
If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي. ١٥ 15
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ، ١٦ 16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
فَهُوَ يُعِدُّ وَٱلْبَارُّ يَلْبَسُهُ، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَقْسِمُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ. ١٧ 17
He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَٱلْعُثِّ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا ٱلنَّاطُورُ. ١٨ 18
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ. ١٩ 19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ. ٢٠ 20
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢١ 21
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا. ٢٢ 22
For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
يَصْفِقُونَ عَلَيْهِ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، وَيَصْفِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢٣ 23
[Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
