أَيُّوبَ 42

١ 1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ فَقَالَ:

Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

٢ 2 «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ، وَلَا يَعْسُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.

I know that thou can do all things, and that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

٣ 3 فَمَنْ ذَا ٱلَّذِي يُخْفِي ٱلْقَضَاءَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ وَلَكِنِّي قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِمَا لَمْ أَفْهَمْ. بِعَجَائِبَ فَوْقِي لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا.

Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

٤ 4 اِسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعَلِّمُنِي.

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak, I will ask of thee, and declare thou to me.

٥ 5 بِسَمْعِ ٱلْأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَنْكَ، وَٱلْآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي.

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees thee.

٦ 6 لِذَلِكَ أَرْفُضُ وَأَنْدَمُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلرَّمَادِ».

Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

٧ 7 وَكَانَ بَعْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَ أَيُّوبَ بِهَذَا ٱلْكَلَامِ، أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَالَ لِأَلِيفَازَ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيِّ: «قَدِ ٱحْتَمَى غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلَا صَاحِبَيْكَ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ.

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

٨ 8 وَٱلْآنَ فَخُذُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ وَٱذْهَبُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ، وَأَصْعِدُوا مُحْرَقَةً لِأَجْلِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ يُصَلِّي مِنْ أَجْلِكُمْ، لِأَنِّي أَرْفَعُ وَجْهَهُ لِئَلَّا أَصْنَعَ مَعَكُمْ حَسَبَ حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لِأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَقُولُوا فِيَّ ٱلصَّوَابَ كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».

Now therefore, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams. And go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for him I will accept, that I not deal with you after your folly. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

٩ 9 فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ ٱلتَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ، وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لَهُمْ. وَرَفَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَجْهَ أَيُّوبَ.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as Jehovah commanded them, and Jehovah accepted Job.

١٠ 10 وَرَدَّ ٱلرَّبُّ سَبْيَ أَيُّوبَ لَمَّا صَلَّى لِأَجْلِ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَزَادَ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا كَانَ لِأَيُّوبَ ضِعْفًا.

And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

١١ 11 فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهِ كُلُّ إِخْوَتِهِ وَكُلُّ أَخَوَاتِهِ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ، وَأَكَلُوا مَعَهُ خُبْزًا فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَرَثَوْا لَهُ وَعَزَّوْهُ عَنْ كُلِّ ٱلشَّرِّ ٱلَّذِي جَلَبَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعْطَاهُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قَسِيطَةً وَاحِدَةً، وَكُلُّ وَاحِدٍ قُرْطًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ.

Then there came to him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house. And they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him. Each man also gave him a piece of money, and each one a ring of gold.

١٢ 12 وَبَارَكَ ٱلرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولَاهُ. وَكَانَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفًا مِنَ ٱلْغَنَمِ، وَسِتَّةُ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلْإِبِلِ، وَأَلْفُ فَدَّانٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.

So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.

١٣ 13 وَكَانَ لَهُ سَبْعَةُ بَنِينَ وَثَلَاثُ بَنَاتٍ.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.

١٤ 14 وَسَمَّى ٱسْمَ ٱلْأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّانِيَةِ قَصِيعَةَ، وَٱسْمَ ٱلثَّالِثَةِ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.

And he called the name of the first, Jemimah, and the name of the second, Keziah, and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

١٥ 15 وَلَمْ تُوجَدْ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلَاتٌ كَبَنَاتِ أَيُّوبَ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَأَعْطَاهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

١٦ 16 وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ هَذَا مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً، وَرَأَى بَنِيهِ وَبَنِي بَنِيهِ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَجْيَالٍ.

And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

١٧ 17 ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخًا وَشَبْعَانَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
