أَيُّوبَ 36
| وَعَادَ أَلِيهُو فَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Elihu also continued, and said,
| «ٱصْبِرْ عَلَيَّ قَلِيلًا، فَأُبْدِيَ لَكَ أَنَّهُ بَعْدُ لِأَجْلِ ٱللهِ كَلَامٌ. | ٢ 2 |
“Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
| أَحْمِلُ مَعْرِفَتِي مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَأَنْسُبُ بِرًّا لِصَانِعِي. | ٣ 3 |
I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
| حَقًّا لَا يَكْذِبُ كَلَامِي. صَحِيحُ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ عِنْدَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
| «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَزِيزٌ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَرْذُلُ أَحَدًا. عَزِيزُ قُدْرَةِ ٱلْقَلْبِ. | ٥ 5 |
“Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
| لَا يُحْيي ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، بَلْ يُجْرِي قَضَاءَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ. | ٦ 6 |
He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
| لَا يُحَوِّلُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَنِ ٱلْبَارِّ، بَلْ مَعَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ يُجْلِسُهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْكُرْسِيِّ أَبَدًا، فَيَرْتَفِعُونَ. | ٧ 7 |
He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
| إِنْ أُوثِقُوا بِٱلْقُيُودِ، إِنْ أُخِذُوا فِي حِبَالَةِ ٱلذِّلِّ، | ٨ 8 |
If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
| فَيُظْهِرُ لَهُمْ أَفْعَالَهُمْ وَمَعَاصِيَهُمْ، لِأَنَّهُمْ تَجَبَّرُوا، | ٩ 9 |
then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
| وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ لِلْإِنْذَارِ، وَيَأْمُرُ بِأَنْ يَرْجِعُوا عَنِ ٱلْإِثْمِ. | ١٠ 10 |
He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
| إِنْ سَمِعُوا وَأَطَاعُوا قَضَوْا أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ وَسِنِيهِمْ بِٱلنِّعَمِ. | ١١ 11 |
If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
| وَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا، فَبِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ يَزُولُونَ، وَيَمُوتُونَ بِعَدَمِ ٱلْمَعْرِفَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
| أَمَّا فُجَّارُ ٱلْقَلْبِ فَيَذْخَرُونَ غَضَبًا. لَا يَسْتَغِيثُونَ إِذَا هُوَ قَيَّدَهُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
“But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
| تَمُوتُ نَفْسُهُمْ فِي ٱلصِّبَا وَحَيَاتُهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْمَأْبُونِينَ. | ١٤ 14 |
They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
| يُنَجِّي ٱلْبَائِسَ فِي ذِلِّهِ، وَيَفْتَحُ آذَانَهُمْ فِي ٱلضِّيقِ. | ١٥ 15 |
He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
| «وَأَيْضًا يَقُودُكَ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلضِّيقِ إِلَى رَحْبٍ لَا حَصْرَ فِيهِ، وَيَمْلَأُ مَؤُونَةَ مَائِدَتِكَ دُهْنًا. | ١٦ 16 |
Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
| حُجَّةَ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ أَكْمَلْتَ، فَٱلْحُجَّةُ وَٱلْقَضَاءُ يُمْسِكَانِكَ. | ١٧ 17 |
“But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
| عِنْدَ غَضَبِهِ لَعَلَّهُ يَقُودُكَ بِصَفْقَةٍ. فَكَثْرَةُ ٱلْفِدْيَةِ لَا تَفُكُّكَ. | ١٨ 18 |
Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
| هَلْ يَعْتَبِرُ غِنَاكَ؟ لَا ٱلتِّبْرَ وَلَا جَمِيعَ قُوَى ٱلثَّرْوَةِ! | ١٩ 19 |
Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
| لَا تَشْتَاقُ إِلَى ٱللَّيْلِ ٱلَّذِي يَرْفَعُ شُعُوبًا مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهِمْ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
| اِحْذَرْ. لَا تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى ٱلْإِثْمِ لِأَنَّكَ ٱخْتَرْتَ هَذَا عَلَى ٱلذِّلِّ. | ٢١ 21 |
Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
| «هُوَذَا ٱللهُ يَتَعَالَى بِقُدْرَتِهِ. مَنْ مِثْلُهُ مُعَلِّمًا؟ | ٢٢ 22 |
Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
| مَنْ فَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ طَرِيقَهُ، أَوْ مَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: قَدْ فَعَلْتَ شَرًّا؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
| اُذْكُرْ أَنْ تُعَظِّمَ عَمَلَهُ ٱلَّذِي يُغَنِّي بِهِ ٱلنَّاسُ. | ٢٤ 24 |
“Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
| كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يُبْصِرُ بِهِ. ٱلنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٥ 25 |
All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
| هُوَذَا ٱللهُ عَظِيمٌ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ وَعَدَدُ سِنِيهِ لَا يُفْحَصُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
| لِأَنَّهُ يَجْذُبُ قِطَارَ ٱلْمَاءِ. تَسُحُّ مَطَرًا مِنْ ضَبَابِهَا | ٢٧ 27 |
For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
| ٱلَّذِي تَهْطِلُهُ ٱلسُّحُبُ وَتَقْطُرُهُ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ كَثِيرِينَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
| فَهَلْ يُعَلِّلُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ شَقِّ ٱلْغَيْمِ أَوْ قَصِيفِ مِظَلَّتِهِ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
| هُوَذَا بَسَطَ نُورَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يَتَغَطَّى بِأُصُولِ ٱلْيَمِّ. | ٣٠ 30 |
Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
| لِأَنَّهُ بِهَذِهِ يَدِينُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ، وَيَرْزُقُ ٱلْقُوتَ بِكَثْرَةٍ. | ٣١ 31 |
For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
| يُغَطِّي كَفَّيْهِ بِٱلنُّورِ، وَيَأْمُرُهُ عَلَى ٱلْعَدُوِّ. | ٣٢ 32 |
He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
| يُخْبِرُ بِهِ رَعْدُهُ، ٱلْمَوَاشِيَ أَيْضًا بِصُعُودِهِ. | ٣٣ 33 |
Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.
