< أَيُّوبَ 35 >
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Moreover Elihu answered and said,
«أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا حَقًّا؟ قُلْتَ: أَنَا أَبَرُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: مَاذَا يُفِيدُكَ؟ بِمَاذَا أَنْتَفِعُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
أَنَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ كَلَامًا، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ مَعَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَأَبْصِرْ، وَلَاحِظِ ٱلْغَمَامَ. إِنَّهَا أَعْلَى مِنْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتَ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ مَعَاصِيَكَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ لَهُ؟ | ٦ 6 |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
إِنْ كُنْتَ بَارًّا فَمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلِكَ شَرُّكَ، وَلِٱبْنِ آدَمَ بِرُّكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
«مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمَظَالِمِ يَصْرُخُونَ. يَسْتَغِيثُونَ مِنْ ذِرَاعِ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ ٱللهُ صَانِعِي، مُؤْتِي ٱلْأَغَانِيِّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُنَا أَحْكَمَ مِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
ثَمَّ يَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ. | ١٢ 12 |
There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَذِبًا، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
فَإِذَا قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَرَاهُ، فَٱلدَّعْوَى قُدَّامَهُ، فَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَا يُطَالِبُ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلزَّلَّاتِ، | ١٥ 15 |
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَكَبَّرَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
