< أَيُّوبَ 17 >
«رُوحِي تَلِفَتْ. أَيَّامِي ٱنْطَفَأَتْ. إِنَّمَا ٱلْقُبُورُ لِي. | ١ 1 |
My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
«لَوْلَا ٱلْمُخَاتِلُونَ عِنْدِي، وَعَيْنِي تَبِيتُ عَلَى مُشَاجَرَاتِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.
كُنْ ضَامِنِي عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ. مَنْ هُوَ ٱلَّذِي يُصَفِّقُ يَدِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
لِأَنَّكَ مَنَعْتَ قَلْبَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلْفِطْنَةِ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا تَرْفَعُهُمُ. | ٤ 4 |
You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.
ٱلَّذِي يُسَلِّمُ ٱلْأَصْحَابَ لِلسَّلْبِ، تَتْلَفُ عُيُونُ بَنِيهِ. | ٥ 5 |
As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
أَوْقَفَنِي مَثَلًا لِلشُّعُوبِ، وَصِرْتُ لِلْبَصْقِ فِي ٱلْوَجْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنِي مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ، وَأَعْضَائِي كُلُّهَا كَٱلظِّلِّ. | ٧ 7 |
My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.
يَتَعَجَّبُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَٱلْبَرِئُ يَنْتَهِضُ عَلَى ٱلْفَاجِرِ. | ٨ 8 |
The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.
أَمَّا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ فَيَسْتَمْسِكُ بِطَرِيقِهِ، وَٱلطَّاهِرُ ٱلْيَدَيْنِ يَزْدَادُ قُوَّةً. | ٩ 9 |
Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
«وَلَكِنِ ٱرْجِعُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَتَعَالَوْا، فَلَا أَجِدُ فِيكُمْ حَكِيمًا. | ١٠ 10 |
But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.
أَيَّامِي قَدْ عَبَرَتْ. مَقَاصِدِي، إِرْثُ قَلْبِي، قَدِ ٱنْتَزَعَتْ. | ١١ 11 |
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
يَجْعَلُونَ ٱللَّيْلَ نَهَارًا، نُورًا قَرِيبًا لِلظُّلْمَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark.
إِذَا رَجَوْتُ ٱلْهَاوِيَةَ بَيْتًا لِي، وَفِي ٱلظَّلَامِ مَهَّدْتُ فِرَاشِي، (Sheol ) | ١٣ 13 |
If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark; (Sheol )
وَقُلْتُ لِلْقَبْرِ: أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلدُّودِ: أَنْتَ أُمِّي وَأُخْتِي، | ١٤ 14 |
If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;
فَأَيْنَ إِذًا آمَالِي؟ آمَالِي، مَنْ يُعَايِنُهَا؟ | ١٥ 15 |
Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire?
تَهْبِطُ إِلَى مَغَالِيقِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ إِذْ تَرْتَاحُ مَعًا فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ». (Sheol ) | ١٦ 16 |
Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust? (Sheol )
