< أَيُّوبَ 35 >
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
And Elius resumed and said,
«أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا حَقًّا؟ قُلْتَ: أَنَا أَبَرُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
What is this that thou thinkest to be according to right? who art thou that thou hast said, I am righteous before the Lord?
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: مَاذَا يُفِيدُكَ؟ بِمَاذَا أَنْتَفِعُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
I will answer thee, and thy three friends.
أَنَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ كَلَامًا، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ مَعَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above thee.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَأَبْصِرْ، وَلَاحِظِ ٱلْغَمَامَ. إِنَّهَا أَعْلَى مِنْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
If thou hast sinned, what wilt thou do?
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتَ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ مَعَاصِيَكَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ لَهُ؟ | ٦ 6 |
and if too thou hast transgressed much, what canst thou perform?
إِنْ كُنْتَ بَارًّا فَمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
And suppose thou art righteous, what wilt thou give him? or what shall he receive of thy hand?
لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلِكَ شَرُّكَ، وَلِٱبْنِ آدَمَ بِرُّكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thy ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to thee; or thy righteousness a son of man.
«مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمَظَالِمِ يَصْرُخُونَ. يَسْتَغِيثُونَ مِنْ ذِرَاعِ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ ٱللهُ صَانِعِي، مُؤْتِي ٱلْأَغَانِيِّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُنَا أَحْكَمَ مِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
ثَمَّ يَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ. | ١٢ 12 |
There they shall cry, and none shall hearken, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَذِبًا، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
فَإِذَا قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَرَاهُ، فَٱلدَّعْوَى قُدَّامَهُ، فَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do thou plead before him, if thou canst praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَا يُطَالِبُ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلزَّلَّاتِ، | ١٥ 15 |
For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَكَبَّرَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
