< أَيُّوبَ 40 >

فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: ١ 1
Moreover Jehovah spake to Job, and said:
«هَلْ يُخَاصِمُ ٱلْقَدِيرَ مُوَبِّخُهُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُحَاجُّ ٱللهَ يُجَاوِبُهُ؟». ٢ 2
Will the censurer of the Almighty contend with him? Will the reprover of God answer?
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: ٣ 3
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:
«هَا أَنَا حَقِيرٌ، فَمَاذَا أُجَاوِبُكَ؟ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى فَمِي. ٤ 4
Behold, I am vile! what can I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
مَرَّةً تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَا أُجِيبُ، وَمَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَا أَزِيدُ». ٥ 5
Once have I spoken, but I will not speak again; Yea, twice, but I will say no more.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ فَقَالَ: ٦ 6
Then spake Jehovah to Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
«ٱلْآنَ شُدَّ حَقْوَيْكَ كَرَجُلٍ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعْلِمُنِي. ٧ 7
Gird up now thy loins like a man! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!
لَعَلَّكَ تُنَاقِضُ حُكْمِي، تَسْتَذْنِبُنِي لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ أَنْتَ؟ ٨ 8
Wilt thou even disannul my right? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayst be righteous?
هَلْ لَكَ ذِرَاعٌ كَمَا لِلهِ، وَبِصَوْتٍ مِثْلِ صَوْتِهِ تُرْعِدُ؟ ٩ 9
Hast thou an arm like God's? Or canst thou thunder with thy voice like him?
تَزَيَّنِ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْجَلَالِ وَٱلْعِزِّ، وَٱلْبَسِ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْبَهَاءَ. ١٠ 10
Deck thyself with grandeur and majesty, And array thyself in splendor and glory!
فَرِّقْ فَيْضَ غَضَبِكَ، وَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَٱخْفِضْهُ. ١١ 11
Send forth the fury of thy wrath! Look upon every proud one, and abase him!
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَذَلِّلْهُ، وَدُسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ فِي مَكَانِهِمِ. ١٢ 12
Look upon every proud one, and bring him low; Yea, tread down the wicked in their place!
ٱطْمِرْهُمْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مَعًا، وَٱحْبِسْ وُجُوهَهُمْ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ. ١٣ 13
Hide them in the dust together; Shut up their faces in darkness!
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَحْمَدُكَ لِأَنَّ يَمِينَكَ تُخَلِّصُكَ. ١٤ 14
Then, indeed, will I give thee the praise, That thine own right hand can save thee.
«هُوَذَا بَهِيمُوثُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُهُ مَعَكَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْعُشْبَ مِثْلَ ٱلْبَقَرِ. ١٥ 15
Behold the river-horse, which I have made as well as thyself; He feedeth on grass like the ox.
هَا هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ فِي مَتْنَيْهِ، وَشِدَّتُهُ فِي عَضَلِ بَطْنِهِ. ١٦ 16
Behold, what strength is in his loins! And what force in the muscles of his belly!
يَخْفِضُ ذَنَبَهُ كَأَرْزَةٍ. عُرُوقُ فَخِذَيْهِ مَضْفُورَةٌ. ١٧ 17
He bendeth his tail, like the cedar, And the sinews of his thighs are twisted together.
عِظَامُهُ أَنَابِيبُ نُحَاسٍ، جِرْمُهَا حَدِيدٌ مَمْطُولٌ. ١٨ 18
His bones are pipes of brass, And his limbs are bars of iron.
هُوَ أَوَّلُ أَعْمَالِ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ أَعْطَاهُ سَيْفَهُ. ١٩ 19
He is chief among the works of God; He that made him gave him his sword.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تُخْرِجُ لَهُ مَرْعًى، وَجَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَلْعَبُ هُنَاكَ. ٢٠ 20
For the mountains supply him with food, Where all the beasts of the field play.
تَحْتَ ٱلسِّدْرَاتِ يَضْطَجِعُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْغَمِقَةِ. ٢١ 21
He lieth down under the lote-plants, In the covert of reeds, and in the fens.
تُظَلِّلُهُ ٱلسِّدْرَاتُ بِظِلِّهَا. يُحِيطُ بِهِ صَفْصَافُ ٱلسَّوَاقِي. ٢٢ 22
The lote-plants cover him with their shadow, And the willows of the brook compass him about.
هُوَذَا ٱلنَّهْرُ يَفِيضُ فَلَا يَفِرُّ هُوَ. يَطْمَئِنُّ وَلَوِ ٱنْدَفَقَ ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ فِي فَمِهِ. ٢٣ 23
Lo! the stream overfloweth, but he starteth not; He is unmoved though Jordan rush forth even to his mouth.
هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ؟ هَلْ يُثْقَبُ أَنْفُهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ؟ ٢٤ 24
Can one take him before his eyes, Or pierce his nose with hooks?
