< أَيُّوبَ 33 >
«وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ يَا أَيُّوبُ أَقْوَالِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى كُلِّ كَلَامِي. | ١ 1 |
However, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ فَتَحْتُ فَمِي. لِسَانِي نَطَقَ فِي حَنَكِي. | ٢ 2 |
Behold now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
اِسْتِقَامَةُ قَلْبِي كَلَامِي، وَمَعْرِفَةُ شَفَتَيَّ هُمَا تَنْطِقَانِ بِهَا خَالِصَةً. | ٣ 3 |
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart, and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
رُوحُ ٱللهِ صَنَعَنِي وَنَسَمَةُ ٱلْقَدِيرِ أَحْيَتْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ فَأَجِبْنِي. أَحْسِنِ ٱلدَّعْوَى أَمَامِي. اِنْتَصِبْ. | ٥ 5 |
If thou can, answer thou me. Set thy words in order before me. Stand forth.
هَأَنَذَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱللهِ. أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ تَقَرَّصْتُ. | ٦ 6 |
Behold, I am toward God even as thou are. I also am formed out of the clay.
هُوَذَا هَيْبَتِي لَا تُرْهِبُكَ وَجَلَالِي لَا يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
«إِنَّكَ قد قُلْتَ في مَسَامِعِي، وَصَوْتَ أَقْوَالِكَ سَمِعْتُ. | ٨ 8 |
Surely thou have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
قُلْتَ: أَنَا بَرِيءٌ بِلَا ذَنْبٍ. زَكِيٌّ أَنَا وَلَا إِثْمَ لِي. | ٩ 9 |
I am clean, without transgression. I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me.
هُوَذَا يَطْلُبُ عَلَيَّ عِلَلَ عَدَاوَةٍ. يَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Thou say, Behold, he finds occasions against me. He counts me for his enemy.
وَضَعَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ. يُرَاقِبُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي. | ١١ 11 |
He puts my feet in the stocks. He marks all my paths.
«هَا إِنَّكَ فِي هَذَا لَمْ تُصِبْ. أَنَا أُجِيبُكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, I will answer thee. In this thou are not just, for God is greater than man.
لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُهُ؟ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أُمُورِهِ لَا يُجَاوِبُ عَنْهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Why do thou strive against him because he does not give account of any of his matters?
لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَرَّةً، وَبِٱثْنَتَيْنِ لَا يُلَاحِظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For God speaks once, yea twice, though man does not regard it.
فِي حُلْمٍ فِي رُؤْيَا ٱللَّيْلِ، عِنْدَ سُقُوطِ سُبَاتٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ، فِي ٱلنُّعَاسِ عَلَى ٱلْمَضْجَعِ. | ١٥ 15 |
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed.
حِينَئِذٍ يَكْشِفُ آذَانَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى تَأْدِيبِهِمْ، | ١٦ 16 |
Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction
لِيُحَوِّلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، وَيَكْتُمَ ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ عَنِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
that he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
لِيَمْنَعَ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ وَحَيَاتَهُ مِنَ ٱلزَّوَالِ بِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
أَيْضًا يُؤَدَّبُ بِٱلْوَجَعِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِهِ، وَمُخَاصَمَةُ عِظَامِهِ دَائِمَةٌ، | ١٩ 19 |
He also is chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones,
فَتَكْرَهُ حَيَاتُهُ خُبْزًا، وَنَفْسُهُ ٱلطَّعَامَ ٱلشَّهِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.
فَيَبْلَى لَحْمُهُ عَنِ ٱلْعِيَانِ، وَتَنْبَرِي عِظَامُهُ فَلَا تُرَى، | ٢١ 21 |
His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen. And his bones that were not seen stick out.
وَتَقْرُبُ نَفْسُهُ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ، وَحَيَاتُهُ إِلَى ٱلْمُمِيتِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
إِنْ وُجِدَ عِنْدَهُ مُرْسَلٌ، وَسِيطٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَلْفٍ لِيُعْلِنَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱسْتِقَامَتَهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
If there be with him an agent, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him,
يَتَرَاَءَفُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: أُطْلِقُهُ عَنِ ٱلْهُبُوطِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، قَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِدْيَةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
then God is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.
يَصِيرُ لَحْمُهُ أَغَضَّ مِنْ لَحْمِ ٱلصَّبِيِّ، وَيَعُودُ إِلَى أَيَّامِ شَبَابِهِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's. He returns to the days of his youth.
يُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ، وَيُعَايِنُ وَجْهَهُ بِهُتَافٍ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ بِرَّهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.
يُغَنِّي بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَعَوَّجْتُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، وَلَمْ أُجَازَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He sings before men, and says, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me.
فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، فَتَرَى حَيَاتِيَ ٱلنُّورَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.
«هُوَذَا كُلُّ هَذِهِ يَفْعَلُهَا ٱللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثًا بِٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Lo, all these things God works twice, yea thrice, with a man,
لِيَرُدَّ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، لِيَسْتَنِيرَ بِنُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
فَٱصْغَ يَا أَيُّوبُ وَٱسْتَمِعْ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Mark well, O Job, hearken to me. Keep silent, and I will speak.
إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ كَلَامٌ فَأَجِبْنِي. تَكَلَّمْ. فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ تَبْرِيرَكَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
If thou have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify thee.
وَإِلَّا فَٱسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأُعَلِّمَكَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ». | ٣٣ 33 |
If not, hearken thou to me. Keep silent, and I will teach thee.
