أَيُّوبَ 39
| «أَتَعْرِفُ وَقْتَ وِلَادَةِ وُعُولِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، أَوْ تُلَاحِظُ مَخَاضَ ٱلْأَيَائِلِ؟ | ١ 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [Or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
| أَتَحْسُبُ ٱلشُّهُورَ ٱلَّتِي تُكَمِّلُهَا، أَوْ تَعْلَمُ مِيقَاتَ وِلَادَتِهِنَّ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
| يَبْرُكْنَ وَيَضَعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ. يَدْفَعْنَ أَوْجَاعَهُنَّ. | ٣ 3 |
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.
| تَبْلُغُ أَوْلَادُهُنَّ. تَرْبُو فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. تَخْرُجُ وَلَا تَعُودُ إِلَيْهِنَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.
| «مَنْ سَرَّحَ ٱلْفَرَاءَ حُرًّا، وَمَنْ فَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ ٱلْوَحْشِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
| ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةَ بَيْتَهُ وَٱلسِّبَاخَ مَسْكَنَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place?
| يَضْحَكُ عَلَى جُمْهُورِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ. لَا يَسْمَعُ زَجْرَ ٱلسَّائِقِ. | ٧ 7 |
He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.
| دَائِرَةُ ٱلْجِبَالِ مَرْعَاهُ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ خُضْرَةٍ يُفَتِّشُ. | ٨ 8 |
The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing.
| «أَيَرْضَى ٱلثَّوْرُ ٱلْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ، أَمْ يَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلَفِكَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?
| أَتَرْبِطُ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْوَحْشِيَّ بِرِبَاطِهِ فِي ٱلتَّلْمِ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةَ وَرَاءَكَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
| أَتَثِقُ بِهِ لِأَنَّ قُوَّتَهُ عَظِيمَةٌ، أَوْ تَتْرُكُ لَهُ تَعَبَكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor?
| أَتَأْتَمِنُهُ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي بِزَرْعِكَ وَيُجْمَعُ إِلَى بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather [the grain] of thy threshing-floor?
| «جَنَاحُ ٱلنَّعَامَةِ يُرَفْرِفُ. أَفَهُوَ مَنْكِبٌ رَؤُوفٌ، أَمْ رِيشٌ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; [But] are they the pinions and plumage of love?
| لِأَنَّهَا تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا وَتُحْمِيهِ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ، | ١٤ 14 |
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,
| وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ ٱلرِّجْلَ تَضْغَطُهُ، أَوْ حَيَوَانَ ٱلْبَرِّ يَدُوسُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
| تَقْسُو عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. بَاطِلٌ تَعَبُهَا بِلَا أَسَفٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, [she is] without fear;
| لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهَا فَهْمًا. | ١٧ 17 |
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
| عِنْدَمَا تُحْوِذُ نَفْسَهَا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ، تَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ وَعَلَى رَاكِبِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider.
| «هَلْ أَنْتَ تُعْطِي ٱلْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ وَتَكْسُو عُنُقَهُ عُرْفًا؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Hast thou given the horse [his] might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
| أَتُوثِبُهُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ نَفْخُ مَنْخَرِهِ مُرْعِبٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
| يَبْحَثُ فِي ٱلْوَادِي وَيَنْفِزُ بِبَأْسٍ. يَخْرُجُ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْأَسْلِحَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.
| يَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْخَوْفِ وَلَا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلَا يَرْجِعُ عَنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.
| عَلَيْهِ تَصِلُّ ٱلسِّهَامُ وَسِنَانُ ٱلرُّمْحِ وَٱلْمِزْرَاقِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.
| فِي وَثْبِهِ وَرُجْزِهِ يَلْتَهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ أَنَّهُ صَوْتُ ٱلْبُوقِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.
| عِنْدَ نَفْخِ ٱلْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ! وَمِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَسْتَرْوِحُ ٱلْقِتَالَ صِيَاحَ ٱلْقُوَّادِ وَٱلْهُتَافَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
As oft as the trumpet [soundeth] he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
| «أَمِنْ فَهْمِكَ يَسْتَقِلُّ ٱلْعُقَابُ وَيَنْشُرُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, [And] stretcheth her wings toward the south?
| أَوْ بِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ ٱلنَّسْرُ وَيُعَلِّي وَكْرَهُ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?
| يَسْكُنُ ٱلصَّخْرَ وَيَبِيتُ عَلَى سِنِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ وَٱلْمَعْقِلِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.
| مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَحَسَّسُ قُوتَهُ. تُبْصِرُهُ عَيْنَاهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.
| فِرَاخُهُ تَحْسُو ٱلدَّمَ، وَحَيْثُمَا تَكُنِ ٱلْقَتْلَى فَهُنَاكَ هُوَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
