< أَيُّوبَ 40 >

فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: ١ 1
Moreover the LORD answered Job,
«هَلْ يُخَاصِمُ ٱلْقَدِيرَ مُوَبِّخُهُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُحَاجُّ ٱللهَ يُجَاوِبُهُ؟». ٢ 2
"Shall he who argues contend with Shaddai? He who argues with God, let him answer it."
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: ٣ 3
Then Job answered the LORD,
«هَا أَنَا حَقِيرٌ، فَمَاذَا أُجَاوِبُكَ؟ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى فَمِي. ٤ 4
"Look, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
مَرَّةً تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَا أُجِيبُ، وَمَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَا أَزِيدُ». ٥ 5
I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ فَقَالَ: ٦ 6
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind,
«ٱلْآنَ شُدَّ حَقْوَيْكَ كَرَجُلٍ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعْلِمُنِي. ٧ 7
"Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
لَعَلَّكَ تُنَاقِضُ حُكْمِي، تَسْتَذْنِبُنِي لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ أَنْتَ؟ ٨ 8
Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
هَلْ لَكَ ذِرَاعٌ كَمَا لِلهِ، وَبِصَوْتٍ مِثْلِ صَوْتِهِ تُرْعِدُ؟ ٩ 9
Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
تَزَيَّنِ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْجَلَالِ وَٱلْعِزِّ، وَٱلْبَسِ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْبَهَاءَ. ١٠ 10
"Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.
فَرِّقْ فَيْضَ غَضَبِكَ، وَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَٱخْفِضْهُ. ١١ 11
Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَذَلِّلْهُ، وَدُسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ فِي مَكَانِهِمِ. ١٢ 12
Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
ٱطْمِرْهُمْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مَعًا، وَٱحْبِسْ وُجُوهَهُمْ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ. ١٣ 13
Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَحْمَدُكَ لِأَنَّ يَمِينَكَ تُخَلِّصُكَ. ١٤ 14
Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
«هُوَذَا بَهِيمُوثُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُهُ مَعَكَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْعُشْبَ مِثْلَ ٱلْبَقَرِ. ١٥ 15
"Look now at the sauropod, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
هَا هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ فِي مَتْنَيْهِ، وَشِدَّتُهُ فِي عَضَلِ بَطْنِهِ. ١٦ 16
Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
يَخْفِضُ ذَنَبَهُ كَأَرْزَةٍ. عُرُوقُ فَخِذَيْهِ مَضْفُورَةٌ. ١٧ 17
He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
عِظَامُهُ أَنَابِيبُ نُحَاسٍ، جِرْمُهَا حَدِيدٌ مَمْطُولٌ. ١٨ 18
His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
هُوَ أَوَّلُ أَعْمَالِ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ أَعْطَاهُ سَيْفَهُ. ١٩ 19
He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تُخْرِجُ لَهُ مَرْعًى، وَجَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَلْعَبُ هُنَاكَ. ٢٠ 20
Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
تَحْتَ ٱلسِّدْرَاتِ يَضْطَجِعُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْغَمِقَةِ. ٢١ 21
He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
تُظَلِّلُهُ ٱلسِّدْرَاتُ بِظِلِّهَا. يُحِيطُ بِهِ صَفْصَافُ ٱلسَّوَاقِي. ٢٢ 22
The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
هُوَذَا ٱلنَّهْرُ يَفِيضُ فَلَا يَفِرُّ هُوَ. يَطْمَئِنُّ وَلَوِ ٱنْدَفَقَ ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ فِي فَمِهِ. ٢٣ 23
Look, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ؟ هَلْ يُثْقَبُ أَنْفُهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ؟ ٢٤ 24
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
