< أيُّوب 27 >

وَاسْتَطْرَدَ أَيُّوبُ يَضْرِبُ مَثَلَهُ قَائِلاً: ١ 1
Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
«حَيٌّ هُوَ اللهُ الَّذِي نَزَعَ حَقِّي، وَالْقَدِيرُ الَّذِي أَمَرَّ حَيَاتِي، ٢ 2
The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.
وَلَكِنْ مَادَامَتْ نَسَمَتِي فِيَّ، وَنَفْخَةُ اللهِ فِي أَنْفِي، ٣ 3
Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,
فَإِنَّ شَفَتَيَّ لَنْ تَنْطِقَا بِالسُّوءِ، وَلِسَانِي لَنْ يَتَلَفَّظَ بِالْغِشِّ. ٤ 4
My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.
حَاشَا لِي أَنْ أُقِرَّ بِصَوَابِ أَقْوَالِكُمْ، وَلَنْ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْ كَمَالِي حَتَّى الْمَوْتِ. ٥ 5
God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.
أَتَشَبَّثُ بِبِرِّي وَلَنْ أَرْخِيَهُ، لأَنَّ ضَمِيرِي لاَ يُؤَنِّبُنِي عَلَى يَوْمٍ مِنْ أَيَّامِي. ٦ 6
I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.
لِيَكُنْ عَدُوِّي نَظِيرَ الشِّرِّيرِ، وَمُقَاوِمِي كَالْفَاجِرِ، ٧ 7
Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.
إِذْ مَا هُوَ رَجَاءُ الْفَاجِرِ عِنْدَمَا يَسْتَأْصِلُهُ اللهُ وَيُزْهِقُ أَنْفَاسَهُ؟ ٨ 8
For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?
هَلْ يَسْتَمِعُ اللهُ إِلَى صَرْخَتِهِ إِذَا حَلَّ بِهِ ضِيقٌ؟ ٩ 9
Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
هَلْ يُسَرُّ بِالْقَدِيرِ وَيَسْتَغِيثُ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ الأَزْمِنَةِ؟ ١٠ 10
Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?
إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ عَنْ قُوَّةِ اللهِ، وَلاَ أَكْتُمُ عَنْكُمْ مَا لَدَى الْقَدِيرِ. ١١ 11
I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.
فَأَنْتُمْ جَمِيعاً قَدْ عَايَنْتُمْ ذَلِكَ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ، فَمَا بَالُكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ بِالْبَاطِلِ قَائِلِينَ: ١٢ 12
Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?
هَذَا هُوَ نَصِيبُ الشِّرِّيرِ عِنْدَ اللهِ وَالْمِيرَاثُ الَّذِي يَنَالُهُ الظَّالِمُ مِنَ الْقَدِيرِ. ١٣ 13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
إِنْ تَكَاثَرَ بَنُوهُ فَلِيَكُونُوا طَعَاماً لِلسَّيْفِ، وَنَسْلُهُ لاَ يَشْبَعُ خُبْزاً. ١٤ 14
If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.
ذُرِّيَّتُهُ تَمُوتُ بِالْوَبَأِ، وَأَرَامِلُهُمْ لاَ تَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِمْ. ١٥ 15
His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.
إِنْ جَمَعَ فِضَّتَهُ كَأَكْوَامِ التُّرَابِ، وَكَوَّمَ مَلاَبِسَ كَالطِّينِ، ١٦ 16
Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,
فَإِنَّ مَا يُعِدُّهُ مِنْ ثِيَابٍ يَرْتَدِيهِ الصِّدِّيقُ، وَالْبَرِيءُ يُوَزِّعُ الْفِضَّةَ. ١٧ 17
He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.
يَبْنِي بَيْتَهُ كَبَيْتِ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ، أَوْ كَمَظَلَّةٍ صَنَعَهَا حَارِسُ الْكُرُومِ. ١٨ 18
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.
يَضْطَجِعُ غَنِيّاً وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ مُعْدِماً. يَفْتَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَإِذَا بِثَرْوَتِهِ قَدْ تَلاَشَتْ. ١٩ 19
When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.
يَطْغَى عَلَيْهِ رُعْبٌ كَفَيَضَانٍ، وَتَخْطِفُهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ زَوْبَعَةٌ. ٢٠ 20
Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.
تُطَوِّحُ بِهِ الرِّيحُ الشَّرْقِيَّةُ فَيَخْتَفِي وَتَقْتَلِعُهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ. ٢١ 21
The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.
تُطْبِقُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَحْمَةٍ وَهُوَ هَارِبٌ مِنْ وَجْهِ عُنْفُوانِهَا. ٢٢ 22
And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.
تُصَفِّرُ الرِّيحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَتُرْعِبُهُ بِقُوَّتِهَا الْمُدَمِّرَةِ. ٢٣ 23
Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.
