< أَيُّوبَ 27 >

وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ: ١ 1
Job again took up his parable, and said,
«حَيٌّ هُوَ ٱللهُ ٱلَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ ٱلَّذِي أَمَرَّ نَفْسِي، ٢ 2
"As God lives, who has taken away my right, Shaddai, who has made my soul bitter.
إِنَّهُ مَا دَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ ٱللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، ٣ 3
(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
لَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ شَفَتَايَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَلْفِظَ لِسَانِي بِغِشٍّ. ٤ 4
surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُبَرِّرَكُمْ! حَتَّى أُسْلِمَ ٱلرُّوحَ لَا أَعْزِلُ كَمَالِي عَنِّي. ٥ 5
Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
تَمَسَّكْتُ بِبِرِّي وَلَا أَرْخِيهِ. قَلْبِي لَا يُعَيِّرُ يَوْمًا مِنْ أَيَّامِي. ٦ 6
I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي كَٱلشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُعَانِدِي كَفَاعِلِ ٱلشَّرِّ. ٧ 7
"Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
لِأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَقْطَعُهُ، عِنْدَمَا يَسْلُبُ ٱللهُ نَفْسَهُ؟ ٨ 8
For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
أَفَيَسْمَعُ ٱللهُ صُرَاخَهُ إِذَا جَاءَ عَلَيْهِ ضِيقٌ؟ ٩ 9
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
أَمْ يَتَلَذَّذُ بِٱلْقَدِيرِ؟ هَلْ يَدْعُو ٱللهَ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ؟ ١٠ 10
Will he delight himself in Shaddai, and call on God at all times?
«إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ بِيَدِ ٱللهِ. لَا أَكْتُمُ مَا هُوَ عِنْدَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. ١١ 11
I will teach you about the hand of God. That which is with Shaddai will I not conceal.
هَا أَنْتُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ، فَلِمَاذَا تَتَبَطَّلُونَ تَبَطُّلًا؟ قَائِلِينَ: ١٢ 12
Look, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become 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, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from Shaddai.
إِنْ كَثُرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِلسَّيْفِ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُ لَا تَشْبَعُ خُبْزًا. ١٤ 14
If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
بَقِيَّتُهُ تُدْفَنُ بِٱلْمَوْتَانِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُ لَا تَبْكِي. ١٥ 15
Those who remain of him shall be buried in death. His widows shall make no lamentation.
إِنْ كَنَزَ فِضَّةً كَٱلتُّرَابِ، وَأَعَدَّ مَلَابِسَ كَٱلطِّينِ، ١٦ 16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing 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 builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيًّا وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يُضَمُّ. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَا يَكُونُ. ١٩ 19
He lies down rich, but he shall not do so again. He opens his eyes, and it is gone.
ٱلْأَهْوَالُ تُدْرِكُهُ كَٱلْمِيَاهِ. لَيْلًا تَخْتَطِفُهُ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ. ٢٠ 20
Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَذْهَبُ، وَتَجْرُفُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢١ 21
The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
يُلْقِي ٱللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا يُشْفِقُ. مِنْ يَدِهِ يَهْرُبُ هَرَبًا. ٢٢ 22
For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from 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.
