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 fulfill? 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 sorrows.
| تَبْلُغُ أَوْلَادُهُنَّ. تَرْبُو فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. تَخْرُجُ وَلَا تَعُودُ إِلَيْهِنَّ. | ٤ 4 |
Their young ones are in good liking, 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 bands of the wild ass?
| ٱلَّذِي جَعَلْتُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةَ بَيْتَهُ وَٱلسِّبَاخَ مَسْكَنَهُ. | ٦ 6 |
Whose house 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 labour?
| أَتَأْتَمِنُهُ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي بِزَرْعِكَ وَيُجْمَعُ إِلَى بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ 12 |
Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [the corn of] thy threshingfloor?
| «جَنَاحُ ٱلنَّعَامَةِ يُرَفْرِفُ. أَفَهُوَ مَنْكِبٌ رَؤُوفٌ، أَمْ رِيشٌ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
The wing of the ostrich rejoiceth, [but] are her pinions and feathers kindly?
| 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 is hardened against her young ones, as if they were not hers: though her labour 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 |
Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, [and] stretch her wings toward the south?
| أَوْ بِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ ٱلنَّسْرُ وَيُعَلِّي وَكْرَهُ؟ | ٢٧ 27 |
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
| يَسْكُنُ ٱلصَّخْرَ وَيَبِيتُ عَلَى سِنِّ ٱلصَّخْرِ وَٱلْمَعْقِلِ. | ٢٨ 28 |
She dwelleth on the rock, and hath her lodging [there], upon the crag of the rock, and the strong hold.
| 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.
