< أَيُّوبَ 39 >
«أَتَعْرِفُ وَقْتَ وِلَادَةِ وُعُولِ ٱلصُّخُورِ، أَوْ تُلَاحِظُ مَخَاضَ ٱلْأَيَائِلِ؟ | ١ 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the chamois of the rock bring forth? or markest thou when the hinds do calve?
أَتَحْسُبُ ٱلشُّهُورَ ٱلَّتِي تُكَمِّلُهَا، أَوْ تَعْلَمُ مِيقَاتَ وِلَادَتِهِنَّ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Numberest thou the months of gestation which they complete and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
يَبْرُكْنَ وَيَضَعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ. يَدْفَعْنَ أَوْجَاعَهُنَّ. | ٣ 3 |
They bend themselves: they drop their young ones; throw off their pains.
تَبْلُغُ أَوْلَادُهُنَّ. تَرْبُو فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. تَخْرُجُ وَلَا تَعُودُ إِلَيْهِنَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Their little ones become strong; they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not unto them.
«مَنْ سَرَّحَ ٱلْفَرَاءَ حُرًّا، وَمَنْ فَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ ٱلْوَحْشِ؟ | ٥ 5 |
Who sent out the wild ass free? or who loosened the bonds of the forest-ass?
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةَ بَيْتَهُ وَٱلسِّبَاخَ مَسْكَنَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
To whom I assigned the wilderness as his house, and the salty land as his dwellings.
يَضْحَكُ عَلَى جُمْهُورِ ٱلْقَرْيَةِ. لَا يَسْمَعُ زَجْرَ ٱلسَّائِقِ. | ٧ 7 |
He laugheth at the noise of a town, and the shoutings of the driver he heareth not.
دَائِرَةُ ٱلْجِبَالِ مَرْعَاهُ، وَعَلَى كُلِّ خُضْرَةٍ يُفَتِّشُ. | ٨ 8 |
What he espieth on the mountains is his pasture, and after every green thing doth he search.
«أَيَرْضَى ٱلثَّوْرُ ٱلْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ، أَمْ يَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلَفِكَ؟ | ٩ 9 |
Will the forest-ox be willing to serve thee, or will he stay over night at thy crib?
أَتَرْبِطُ ٱلثَّوْرَ ٱلْوَحْشِيَّ بِرِبَاطِهِ فِي ٱلتَّلْمِ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ ٱلْأَوْدِيَةَ وَرَاءَكَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Canst thou bind the forest-ox with a rope [to labor] in the furrow? or will he harrow valleys, following after thee?
أَتَثِقُ بِهِ لِأَنَّ قُوَّتَهُ عَظِيمَةٌ، أَوْ تَتْرُكُ لَهُ تَعَبَكَ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave to him thy labor?
أَتَأْتَمِنُهُ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي بِزَرْعِكَ وَيُجْمَعُ إِلَى بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Wilt thou confide in him, that he should bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?—
«جَنَاحُ ٱلنَّعَامَةِ يُرَفْرِفُ. أَفَهُوَ مَنْكِبٌ رَؤُوفٌ، أَمْ رِيشٌ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
The wing of the ostrich moveth joyfully: hath she the pinions and plumage of the careful stork?
لِأَنَّهَا تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا وَتُحْمِيهِ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ، | ١٤ 14 |
[No, ] for she intrusteth her eggs to the earth, and letteth them be hatched out on the dust:
وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ ٱلرِّجْلَ تَضْغَطُهُ، أَوْ حَيَوَانَ ٱلْبَرِّ يَدُوسُهُ. | ١٥ 15 |
And she forgetteth that a foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may stamp them down.
تَقْسُو عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. بَاطِلٌ تَعَبُهَا بِلَا أَسَفٍ. | ١٦ 16 |
He hath made her callous against her young, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain, [but she feeleth] no dread;
لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا ٱلْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَقْسِمْ لَهَا فَهْمًا. | ١٧ 17 |
Because God hath denied her wisdom, and he hath not imparted to her understanding.
عِنْدَمَا تُحْوِذُ نَفْسَهَا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ، تَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْفَرَسِ وَعَلَى رَاكِبِهِ. | ١٨ 18 |
At the time she raiseth herself up on high, she laugheth at the horse and his rider.
«هَلْ أَنْتَ تُعْطِي ٱلْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ وَتَكْسُو عُنُقَهُ عُرْفًا؟ | ١٩ 19 |
Dost thou give the horse strength? dost thou clothe his neck with the rolling mane?
أَتُوثِبُهُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ نَفْخُ مَنْخَرِهِ مُرْعِبٌ. | ٢٠ 20 |
Canst thou make him jump like a locust? his majestic snort is terrible.
يَبْحَثُ فِي ٱلْوَادِي وَيَنْفِزُ بِبَأْسٍ. يَخْرُجُ لِلِقَاءِ ٱلْأَسْلِحَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
Men spy about in the valley, and he rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth forth to meet the armed array.
يَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْخَوْفِ وَلَا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلَا يَرْجِعُ عَنِ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
He laugheth at fear, and is not dismayed; and turneth not back from before the sword.
عَلَيْهِ تَصِلُّ ٱلسِّهَامُ وَسِنَانُ ٱلرُّمْحِ وَٱلْمِزْرَاقِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Over him rattle the quiver, the glittering spear and the lance.
فِي وَثْبِهِ وَرُجْزِهِ يَلْتَهِمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَلَا يُؤْمِنُ أَنَّهُ صَوْتُ ٱلْبُوقِ. | ٢٤ 24 |
With impatient noise and rage he holloweth [with his hoof] the ground, and keepeth not quiet when the cornet's voice [is heard].
عِنْدَ نَفْخِ ٱلْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ! وَمِنْ بَعِيدٍ يَسْتَرْوِحُ ٱلْقِتَالَ صِيَاحَ ٱلْقُوَّادِ وَٱلْهُتَافَ. | ٢٥ 25 |
Midst the sound of the cornet he uttereth his joyful neigh; and from afar he perceiveth the battle, the loud call of the captains, and the battle-cry.—
«أَمِنْ فَهْمِكَ يَسْتَقِلُّ ٱلْعُقَابُ وَيَنْشُرُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ؟ | ٢٦ 26 |
Is it through thy understanding that the hawk flieth along, and spreadeth out his wings toward the south?
أَوْ بِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ ٱلنَّسْرُ وَيُعَلِّي وَكْرَهُ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Or is it by your order that the eagle doth mount upward, and buildeth high up his nest?
يَسْكُنُ ٱلصَّخْرَ وَيَبِيتُ عَلَى سِنِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ وَٱلْمَعْقِلِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
On a rock he dwelleth, and spendeth his nights, on a rocky crag and mountain fastness.
مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَحَسَّسُ قُوتَهُ. تُبْصِرُهُ عَيْنَاهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٩ 29 |
From there he espieth his food, from afar can his eyes behold.
فِرَاخُهُ تَحْسُو ٱلدَّمَ، وَحَيْثُمَا تَكُنِ ٱلْقَتْلَى فَهُنَاكَ هُوَ». | ٣٠ 30 |
His young ones, also, sip up blood: and where the slain be, there is he.
