أَيُّوبَ 36
| وَعَادَ أَلِيهُو فَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
And Elius further continued, and said,
| «ٱصْبِرْ عَلَيَّ قَلِيلًا، فَأُبْدِيَ لَكَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدُ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ كَلَامٌ. | ٢ 2 |
Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me.
| أَحْمِلُ مَعْرِفَتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَنْسُبُ بِرًّا لِصَانِعِي. | ٣ 3 |
Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
| حَقًّا لَا يَكْذِبُ كَلَامِي. صَحِيحُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ عِنْدَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.
| «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَزِيزٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَرْذُلُ أَحَدًا. عَزِيزُ قُدْرَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,
| لَا يُحْيي ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، بَلْ يُجْرِي قَضَاءَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.
| لَا يُحَوِّلُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ ٱلْبَارِّ، بَلْ مَعَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ يُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ أَبَدًا، فَيَرْتَفِعُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
| إِنْ أُوثِقُوا بِٱلْقُيُودِ، إِنْ أُخِذُوا فِي حِبَالَةِ ٱلذِّلِّ، | ٨ 8 |
But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.
| فَيُظْهِرُ لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَمَعَاصِيَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَجَبَّرُوا، | ٩ 9 |
And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.
| وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِلْإِنْذَارِ، وَيَأْمُرُ بِأَنْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.
| إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَأَطَاعُوا قَضَوْا أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ وَسِنِيهِمْ بِٱلنِّعَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، فَبِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ يَزُولُونَ، وَيَمُوتُونَ بِعَدَمِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.
| أَمَّا فُجَّارُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ غَضَبًا. لَا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ إِذَا هُوَ قَيَّدَهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.
| تَمُوتُ نَفْسُهُمْ فِي ٱلصِّبَا وَحَيَاتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].
| يُنَجِّي ٱلْبَائِسَ فِي ذِلِّهِ، وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
| «وَأَيْضًا يَقُودُكَ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ لَا حَصْرَ فِيهِ، وَيَمْلَأُ مَؤُونَةَ مَائِدَتِكَ دُهْنًا. | ١٦ 16 |
And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:
| حُجَّةَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ أَكْمَلْتَ، فَٱلْحُجَّةُ وَٱلْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
[there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;
| عِنْدَ غَضَبِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَقُودُكَ بِصَفْقَةٍ. فَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْفِدْيَةِ لَا تَفُكُّكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.
| هَلْ يَعْتَبِرُ غِنَاكَ؟ لَا ٱلتِّبْرَ وَلَا جَمِيعَ قُوَى ٱلثَّرْوَةِ! | ١٩ 19 |
Let not [thy] mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.
| لَا تَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ شُعُوبًا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.
| اِحْذَرْ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ لِأَنَّكَ ٱخْتَرْتَ هَذَا عَلَى ٱلذِّلِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou has made choice because of poverty.
| «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ يَتَعَالَى بِقُدْرَتِهِ. مَنْ مِثْلُهُ مُعَلِّمًا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?
| مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ طَرِيقَهُ، أَوْ مَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ شَرًّا؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?
| اُذْكُرْ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُغَنِّي بِهِ ٱلنَّاسُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted.
| كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُبْصِرُ بِهِ. ٱلنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.
| هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَظِيمٌ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُفْحَصُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَجْذُبُ قِطَارَ ٱلْمَاءِ. تَسُحُّ مَطَرًا مِنْ ضَبَابِهَا | ٢٧ 27 |
And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.
| ٱلَّذِي تَهْطِلُهُ ٱلسُّحُبُ وَتَقْطُرُهُ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ كَثِيرِينَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. [Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in [thy] body.
| فَهَلْ يُعَلِّلُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ شَقِّ ٱلْغَيْمِ أَوْ قَصِيفِ مِظَلَّتِهِ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle;
| هُوَذَا بَسَطَ نُورَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَغَطَّى بِأُصُولِ ٱلْيَمِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
| لِأَنَّهُ بِهَذِهِ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ، وَيَرْزُقُ ٱلْقُوتَ بِكَثْرَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.
| يُغَطِّي كَفَّيْهِ بِٱلنُّورِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud].
| يُخْبِرُ بِهِ رَعْدُهُ، ٱلْمَوَاشِيَ أَيْضًا بِصُعُودِهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
