< أَيُّوبَ 35 >
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
After this, Eliu again spoke in this way:
«أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا حَقًّا؟ قُلْتَ: أَنَا أَبَرُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Does it seem right to you in your thoughts, that you should say, “I am more just than God?”
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: مَاذَا يُفِيدُكَ؟ بِمَاذَا أَنْتَفِعُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
For you said, “Having done what is right does not please you,” and, “How will it benefit you, if I sin?”
أَنَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ كَلَامًا، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ مَعَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
And so, I will respond to your words, and to your friends who are with you.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَأَبْصِرْ، وَلَاحِظِ ٱلْغَمَامَ. إِنَّهَا أَعْلَى مِنْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Look up towards heaven and consider; also, think about the sky, which is higher than you.
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتَ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ مَعَاصِيَكَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ لَهُ؟ | ٦ 6 |
If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
إِنْ كُنْتَ بَارًّا فَمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Furthermore, if you act justly, what will you give him, or what will he receive from your hand?
لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلِكَ شَرُّكَ، وَلِٱبْنِ آدَمَ بِرُّكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Your impiety may hurt a man who is like you, though your justice may help the son of the man.
«مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمَظَالِمِ يَصْرُخُونَ. يَسْتَغِيثُونَ مِنْ ذِرَاعِ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
Because of the multitude of false accusers, they will cry out; and they will lament because of the strong arm of the tyrants.
وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ ٱللهُ صَانِعِي، مُؤْتِي ٱلْأَغَانِيِّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
Yet he has not said: “Where is God, who made me, who has given songs in the night,
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُنَا أَحْكَمَ مِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
who teaches us in addition to the beasts of the earth, and who educates us along with the birds of the air?”
ثَمَّ يَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ. | ١٢ 12 |
There they will cry, and he will not heed them, because of the arrogance of the wicked.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَذِبًا، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Therefore, God does not hear in vain, and the Almighty will look into each and every case.
فَإِذَا قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَرَاهُ، فَٱلدَّعْوَى قُدَّامَهُ، فَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
And so, when you say, “He does not examine,” be judged before him, but wait for him.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَا يُطَالِبُ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلزَّلَّاتِ، | ١٥ 15 |
For, at the present time, he does not bring forth his fury, nor does he punish sin exceedingly.
فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَكَبَّرَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore, Job has opened his mouth in vain and has multiplied words without knowledge.
