< أَيُّوبَ 33 >
«وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ يَا أَيُّوبُ أَقْوَالِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى كُلِّ كَلَامِي. | ١ 1 |
And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ فَتَحْتُ فَمِي. لِسَانِي نَطَقَ فِي حَنَكِي. | ٢ 2 |
Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
اِسْتِقَامَةُ قَلْبِي كَلَامِي، وَمَعْرِفَةُ شَفَتَيَّ هُمَا تَنْطِقَانِ بِهَا خَالِصَةً. | ٣ 3 |
Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
رُوحُ ٱللهِ صَنَعَنِي وَنَسَمَةُ ٱلْقَدِيرِ أَحْيَتْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ فَأَجِبْنِي. أَحْسِنِ ٱلدَّعْوَى أَمَامِي. اِنْتَصِبْ. | ٥ 5 |
If thou art able — answer me, Set in array before me — station thyself.
هَأَنَذَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱللهِ. أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ تَقَرَّصْتُ. | ٦ 6 |
Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I — I also, have been formed.
هُوَذَا هَيْبَتِي لَا تُرْهِبُكَ وَجَلَالِي لَا يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
«إِنَّكَ قد قُلْتَ في مَسَامِعِي، وَصَوْتَ أَقْوَالِكَ سَمِعْتُ. | ٨ 8 |
Surely — thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
قُلْتَ: أَنَا بَرِيءٌ بِلَا ذَنْبٍ. زَكِيٌّ أَنَا وَلَا إِثْمَ لِي. | ٩ 9 |
'Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.
هُوَذَا يَطْلُبُ عَلَيَّ عِلَلَ عَدَاوَةٍ. يَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
وَضَعَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ. يُرَاقِبُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي. | ١١ 11 |
He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
«هَا إِنَّكَ فِي هَذَا لَمْ تُصِبْ. أَنَا أُجِيبُكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُهُ؟ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أُمُورِهِ لَا يُجَاوِبُ عَنْهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all His matters He answereth not?
لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَرَّةً، وَبِٱثْنَتَيْنِ لَا يُلَاحِظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
فِي حُلْمٍ فِي رُؤْيَا ٱللَّيْلِ، عِنْدَ سُقُوطِ سُبَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ، فِي ٱلنُّعَاسِ عَلَى ٱلْمَضْجَعِ. | ١٥ 15 |
In a dream — a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
حِينَئِذٍ يَكْشِفُ آذَانَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى تَأْدِيبِهِمْ، | ١٦ 16 |
Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
لِيُحَوِّلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، وَيَكْتُمَ ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ عَنِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
لِيَمْنَعَ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ وَحَيَاتَهُ مِنَ ٱلزَّوَالِ بِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
أَيْضًا يُؤَدَّبُ بِٱلْوَجَعِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِهِ، وَمُخَاصَمَةُ عِظَامِهِ دَائِمَةٌ، | ١٩ 19 |
And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.
فَتَكْرَهُ حَيَاتُهُ خُبْزًا، وَنَفْسُهُ ٱلطَّعَامَ ٱلشَّهِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.
فَيَبْلَى لَحْمُهُ عَنِ ٱلْعِيَانِ، وَتَنْبَرِي عِظَامُهُ فَلَا تُرَى، | ٢١ 21 |
His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!
وَتَقْرُبُ نَفْسُهُ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ، وَحَيَاتُهُ إِلَى ٱلْمُمِيتِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.
إِنْ وُجِدَ عِنْدَهُ مُرْسَلٌ، وَسِيطٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَلْفٍ لِيُعْلِنَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱسْتِقَامَتَهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter — one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:
يَتَرَاَءَفُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: أُطْلِقُهُ عَنِ ٱلْهُبُوطِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، قَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِدْيَةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'
يَصِيرُ لَحْمُهُ أَغَضَّ مِنْ لَحْمِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ، وَيَعُودُ إِلَى أَيَّامِ شَبَابِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Fresher [is] his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.
يُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ، وَيُعَايِنُ وَجْهَهُ بِهُتَافٍ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ بِرَّهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.
يُغَنِّي بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَعَوَّجْتُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، وَلَمْ أُجَازَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، فَتَرَى حَيَاتِيَ ٱلنُّورَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'
«هُوَذَا كُلُّ هَذِهِ يَفْعَلُهَا ٱللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثًا بِٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Lo, all these doth God work, Twice — thrice with man,
لِيَرُدَّ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، لِيَسْتَنِيرَ بِنُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
فَٱصْغَ يَا أَيُّوبُ وَٱسْتَمِعْ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I — I do speak.
إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ كَلَامٌ فَأَجِبْنِي. تَكَلَّمْ. فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ تَبْرِيرَكَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
If there are words — answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee.
وَإِلَّا فَٱسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأُعَلِّمَكَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ». | ٣٣ 33 |
If there are not — hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.
