أَيُّوبَ 38
| فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
| «مَنْ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي يُظْلِمُ ٱلْقَضَاءَ بِكَلَامٍ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by wordes without knowledge?
| اُشْدُدِ ٱلْآنَ حَقْوَيْكَ كَرَجُلٍ، فَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي. | ٣ 3 |
Girde vp nowe thy loynes like a man: I will demande of thee and declare thou vnto me.
| أَيْنَ كُنْتَ حِينَ أَسَّسْتُ ٱلْأَرْضَ؟ أَخْبِرْ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ فَهْمٌ. | ٤ 4 |
Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding,
| مَنْ وَضَعَ قِيَاسَهَا؟ لِأَنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ! أَوْ مَنْ مَدَّ عَلَيْهَا مِطْمَارًا؟ | ٥ 5 |
Who hath layde the measures thereof, if thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line ouer it:
| عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ قَرَّتْ قَوَاعِدُهَا؟ أَوْ مَنْ وَضَعَ حَجَرَ زَاوِيَتِهَا، | ٦ 6 |
Whereupon are the foundations thereof set: or who layed the corner stone thereof:
| عِنْدَمَا تَرَنَّمَتْ كَوَاكِبُ ٱلصُّبْحِ مَعًا، وَهَتَفَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي ٱللهِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
When the starres of the morning praysed me together, and all the children of God reioyced:
| «وَمَنْ حَجَزَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِمَصَارِيعَ حِينَ ٱنْدَفَقَ فَخَرَجَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ. | ٨ 8 |
Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe:
| إِذْ جَعَلْتُ ٱلسَّحَابَ لِبَاسَهُ، وَٱلضَّبَابَ قِمَاطَهُ، | ٩ 9 |
When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:
| وَجَزَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ حَدِّي، وَأَقَمْتُ لَهُ مَغَالِيقَ وَمَصَارِيعَ، | ١٠ 10 |
When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,
| وَقُلْتُ: إِلَى هُنَا تَأْتِي وَلَا تَتَعَدَّى، وَهُنَا تُتْخَمُ كِبْرِيَاءُ لُجَجِكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.
| «هَلْ فِي أَيَّامِكَ أَمَرْتَ ٱلصُّبْحَ؟ هَلْ عَرَّفْتَ ٱلْفَجْرَ مَوْضِعَهُ | ١٢ 12 |
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy dayes? hast thou caused the morning to knowe his place,
| لِيُمْسِكَ بِأَكْنَافِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيُنْفَضَ ٱلْأَشْرَارُ مِنْهَا؟ | ١٣ 13 |
That it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
| تَتَحَوَّلُ كَطِينِ ٱلْخَاتِمِ، وَتَقِفُ كَأَنَّهَا لَابِسَةٌ. | ١٤ 14 |
It is turned as clay to facion, and all stand vp as a garment.
| وَيُمْنَعُ عَنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ نُورُهُمْ، وَتَنْكَسِرُ ٱلذِّرَاعُ ٱلْمُرْتَفِعَةُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And from the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the hie arme shalbe broken.
| «هَلِ ٱنْتَهَيْتَ إِلَى يَنَابِيعِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، أَوْ فِي مَقْصُورَةِ ٱلْغَمْرِ تَمَشَّيْتَ؟ | ١٦ 16 |
Hast thou entred into the bottomes of the sea? or hast thou walked to seeke out the depth?
| هَلِ ٱنْكَشَفَتْ لَكَ أَبْوَابُ ٱلْمَوْتِ، أَوْ عَايَنْتَ أَبْوَابَ ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the gates of the shadowe of death?
| هَلْ أَدْرَكْتَ عَرْضَ ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ أَخْبِرْ إِنْ عَرَفْتَهُ كُلَّهُ. | ١٨ 18 |
Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? tell if thou knowest all this.
| «أَيْنَ ٱلطَّرِيقُ إِلَى حَيْثُ يَسْكُنُ ٱلنُّورُ؟ وَٱلظُّلْمَةُ أَيْنَ مَقَامُهَا، | ١٩ 19 |
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and where is the place of darkenesse,
| حَتَّى تَأْخُذَهَا إِلَى تُخُومِهَا وَتَعْرِفَ سُبُلَ بَيْتِهَا؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
That thou shouldest receiue it in the boundes thereof, and that thou shouldest knowe the paths to the house thereof?
| تَعْلَمُ، لِأَنَّكَ حِينَئِذٍ كُنْتَ قَدْ وُلِدْتَ، وَعَدَدُ أَيَّامِكَ كَثِيرٌ! | ٢١ 21 |
Knewest thou it, because thou wast then borne, and because the nomber of thy dayes is great?
| «أَدَخَلْتَ إِلَى خَزَائِنِ ٱلثَّلْجِ، أَمْ أَبْصَرْتَ مَخَازِنَ ٱلْبَرَدِ، | ٢٢ 22 |
Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seene the treasures of ye haile,
| ٱلَّتِي أَبْقَيْتَهَا لِوَقْتِ ٱلضَّرِّ، لِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِتَالِ وَٱلْحَرْبِ؟ | ٢٣ 23 |
Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?
| فِي أَيِّ طَرِيقٍ يَتَوَزَّعُ ٱلنُّورُ، وَتَتَفَرَّقُ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the East winde vpon the earth?
| مَنْ فَرَّعَ قَنَوَاتٍ لِلْهَطْلِ، وَطَرِيقًا لِلصَّوَاعِقِ، | ٢٥ 25 |
Who hath deuided the spowtes for the raine? or the way for the lightning of ye thunders,
| لِيَمْطُرَ عَلَى أَرْضٍ حَيْثُ لَا إِنْسَانَ، عَلَى قَفْرٍ لَا أَحَدَ فِيهِ، | ٢٦ 26 |
To cause it to raine on the earth where no man is, and in the wildernes where there is no man?
| لِيُرْوِيَ ٱلْبَلْقَعَ وَٱلْخَلَاءَ وَيُنْبِتَ مَخْرَجَ ٱلْعُشْبِ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth?
| «هَلْ لِلْمَطَرِ أَبٌ؟ وَمَنْ وَلَدَ مَآجِلَ ٱلطَّلِّ؟ | ٢٨ 28 |
Who is the father of the rayne? or who hath begotten the droppes of the dewe?
| مِنْ بَطْنِ مَنْ خَرَجَ ٱلْجَمَدُ؟ صَقِيعُ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، مَنْ وَلَدَهُ؟ | ٢٩ 29 |
Out of whose wombe came the yee? who hath ingendred the frost of the heauen?
| كَحَجَرٍ صَارَتِ ٱلْمِيَاهُ. ٱخْتَبَأَتْ. وَتَلَكَّدَ وَجْهُ ٱلْغَمْرِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
The waters are hid as with a stone: and the face of the depth is frosen.
| «هَلْ تَرْبِطُ أَنْتَ عُقْدَ ٱلثُّرَيَّا، أَوْ تَفُكُّ رُبُطَ ٱلْجَبَّارِ؟ | ٣١ 31 |
Canst thou restraine the sweete influences of the Pleiades? or loose the bandes of Orion?
| أَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَنَازِلَ فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا وَتَهْدِي ٱلنَّعْشَ مَعَ بَنَاتِهِ؟ | ٣٢ 32 |
Canst thou bring foorth Mazzaroth in their time? canst thou also guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
| هَلْ عَرَفْتَ سُنَنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، أَوْ جَعَلْتَ تَسَلُّطَهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟ | ٣٣ 33 |
Knowest thou the course of heauen, or canst thou set the rule thereof in the earth?
| أَتَرْفَعُ صَوْتَكَ إِلَى ٱلسُّحُبِ فَيُغَطِّيَكَ فَيْضُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ؟ | ٣٤ 34 |
Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes that the aboundance of water may couer thee?
| أَتُرْسِلُ ٱلْبُرُوقَ فَتَذْهَبَ وَتَقُولَ لَكَ: هَا نَحْنُ؟ | ٣٥ 35 |
Canst thou sende the lightenings that they may walke, and say vnto thee, Loe, heere we are?
| مَنْ وَضَعَ فِي ٱلطَّخَاءِ حِكْمَةً، أَوْ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ فِي ٱلشُّهُبِ فِطْنَةً؟ | ٣٦ 36 |
Who hath put wisedome in the reines? or who hath giuen the heart vnderstanding?
| مَنْ يُحْصِي ٱلْغُيُومَ بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ، وَمَنْ يَسْكُبُ أَزْقَاقَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، | ٣٧ 37 |
Who can nomber cloudes by wisedome? or who can cause to cease the bottels of heaue,
| إِذْ يَنْسَبِكُ ٱلتُّرَابُ سَبْكًا وَيَتَلَاصَقُ ٱلْمَدَرُ؟ | ٣٨ 38 |
When the earth groweth into hardnesse, and the clottes are fast together?
| «أَتَصْطَادُ لِلَّبْوَةِ فَرِيسَةً، أَمْ تُشْبِعُ نَفْسَ ٱلْأَشْبَالِ، | ٣٩ 39 |
Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the appetite of the lyons whelpes,
| حِينَ تَجْرَمِزُّ فِي عِرِّيسِهَا وَتَجْلِسُ فِي عِيصِهَا لِلْكُمُونِ؟ | ٤٠ 40 |
When they couch in their places, and remaine in the couert to lye in waite?
| مَنْ يُهَيِّئُ لِلْغُرَابِ صَيْدَهُ، إِذْ تَنْعَبُ فِرَاخُهُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَتَتَرَدَّدُ لِعَدَمِ ٱلْقُوتِ؟ | ٤١ 41 |
Who prepareth for the rauen his meate, when his birdes crie vnto God, wandering for lacke of meate?
