< أَيُّوبَ 5 >

«اُدْعُ ٱلْآنَ. فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ وَإِلَى أَيِّ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ تَلْتَفِتُ؟ ١ 1
But call, if any one will listen to you, or if you shall see any of the holy angels.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَيْظَ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ، وَٱلْغَيْرَةَ تُمِيتُ ٱلْأَحْمَقَ. ٢ 2
For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray.
إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ يَتَأَصَّلُ وَبَغْتَةً لَعَنْتُ مَرْبِضَهُ. ٣ 3
And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured.
بَنُوهُ بَعِيدُونَ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْنِ، وَقَدْ تَحَطَّمُوا فِي ٱلْبَابِ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ. ٤ 4
Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْجَوْعَانُ حَصِيدَهُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُهُ حَتَّى مِنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ، وَيَشْتَفُّ ٱلظَّمْآنُ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ. ٥ 5
For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted.
إِنَّ ٱلْبَلِيَّةَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَٱلشَّقَاوَةَ لَا تَنْبُتُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، ٦ 6
For labour can’t by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains:
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَوْلُودٌ لِلْمَشَقَّةِ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَوَارِحَ لِٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلْجَنَاحِ. ٧ 7
yet man is born to labour, and [even so] the vulture's young seek the high places.
«لَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَعَلَى ٱللهِ أَجْعَلُ أَمْرِي. ٨ 8
Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all;
ٱلْفَاعِلِ عَظَائِمَ لَا تُفْحَصُ وَعَجَائِبَ لَا تُعَدُّ. ٩ 9
who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number:
ٱلْمُنْزِلِ مَطَرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱلْمُرْسِلِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ عَلَى ٱلْبَرَارِيِّ. ١٠ 10
who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth:
ٱلْجَاعِلِ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ فِي ٱلْعُلَى، فَيَرْتَفِعُ ٱلْمَحْزُونُونَ إِلَى أَمْنٍ. ١١ 11
who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:
ٱلْمُبْطِلِ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْمُحْتَالِينَ، فَلَا تُجْرِي أَيْدِيهِمْ قَصْدًا. ١٢ 12
frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth:
ٱلْآخِذِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِحِيلَتِهِمْ، فَتَتَهَوَّرُ مَشُورَةُ ٱلْمَاكِرِينَ. ١٣ 13
who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty
فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ يَصْدِمُونَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَتَلَمَّسُونَ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ كَمَا فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. ١٤ 14
In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:
ٱلْمُنَجِّيَ ٱلْبَائِسَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، مِنْ فَمِهِمْ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْقَوِيِّ. ١٥ 15
and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.
فَيَكُونُ لِلذَّلِيلِ رَجَاءٌ وَتَسُدُّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ فَاهَا. ١٦ 16
And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.
«هُوَذَا طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ يُؤَدِّبُهُ ٱللهُ. فَلَا تَرْفُضْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. ١٧ 17
But blessed [is] the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not you the chastening of the Almighty.
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَجْرَحُ وَيَعْصِبُ. يَسْحَقُ وَيَدَاهُ تَشْفِيَانِ. ١٨ 18
for he causes [a man] to be in pain, and restores [him] again: he smites, and his hands heal.
فِي سِتِّ شَدَائِدَ يُنَجِّيكَ، وَفِي سَبْعٍ لَا يَمَسُّكَ سُوءٌ. ١٩ 19
Six time he shall deliver you out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch you.
فِي ٱلْجُوعِ يَفْدِيكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَفِي ٱلْحَرْبِ مِنْ حَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. ٢٠ 20
In famine he shall deliver you from death: and in war he shall free you from the power of the sword.
مِنْ سَوْطِ ٱللِّسَانِ تُخْتَبَأُ، فَلَا تَخَافُ مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ إِذَا جَاءَ. ٢١ 21
He shall hide you from the scourge of the tongue: and you shall not be afraid of coming evils.
تَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْخَرَابِ وَٱلْمَحْلِ، وَلَا تَخْشَى وُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٢ 22
You shall laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and you shall not be afraid of wild beasts.
لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْحَقْلِ عَهْدُكَ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تُسَالِمُكَ. ٢٣ 23
For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ خَيْمَتَكَ آمِنَةٌ، وَتَتَعَهَّدُ مَرْبِضَكَ وَلَا تَفْقِدُ شَيْئًا. ٢٤ 24
Then shall you know that your house shall be at peace, and the provision for your tabernacle shall not fail.
وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ زَرْعَكَ كَثِيرٌ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَعُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. ٢٥ 25
And you shall know that your seed [shall be] abundant; and your children shall be like the herbage of the field.
تَدْخُلُ ٱلْمَدْفَنَ فِي شَيْخُوخَةٍ، كَرَفْعِ ٱلْكُدْسِ فِي أَوَانِهِ. ٢٦ 26
And you shall come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.
هَا إِنَّ ذَا قَدْ بَحَثْنَا عَنْهُ. كَذَا هُوَ. فَٱسْمَعْهُ وَٱعْلَمْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ». ٢٧ 27
Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do you reflect with yourself, if you have done anything [wrong].
