< أَيُّوبَ 33 >
«وَلَكِنِ ٱسْمَعِ ٱلْآنَ يَا أَيُّوبُ أَقْوَالِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى كُلِّ كَلَامِي. | ١ 1 |
Hear, therefore, my discourse, I pray thee, O Job! And attend unto all my words!
هَأَنَذَا قَدْ فَتَحْتُ فَمِي. لِسَانِي نَطَقَ فِي حَنَكِي. | ٢ 2 |
Behold, I am opening my mouth; My tongue is now speaking in my palate.
اِسْتِقَامَةُ قَلْبِي كَلَامِي، وَمَعْرِفَةُ شَفَتَيَّ هُمَا تَنْطِقَانِ بِهَا خَالِصَةً. | ٣ 3 |
My words shall be in the uprightness of my heart; My lips shall utter knowledge purely.
رُوحُ ٱللهِ صَنَعَنِي وَنَسَمَةُ ٱلْقَدِيرِ أَحْيَتْنِي. | ٤ 4 |
The spirit of God made me, And the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
إِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ فَأَجِبْنِي. أَحْسِنِ ٱلدَّعْوَى أَمَامِي. اِنْتَصِبْ. | ٥ 5 |
If thou art able, answer me; Set thyself in array against me; stand up!
هَأَنَذَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِكَ عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱللهِ. أَنَا أَيْضًا مِنَ ٱلطِّينِ تَقَرَّصْتُ. | ٦ 6 |
Behold, I, like thee, am a creature of God; I also was formed of clay.
هُوَذَا هَيْبَتِي لَا تُرْهِبُكَ وَجَلَالِي لَا يَثْقُلُ عَلَيْكَ. | ٧ 7 |
Behold, my terror cannot dismay thee, Nor can my greatness be heavy upon thee.
«إِنَّكَ قد قُلْتَ في مَسَامِعِي، وَصَوْتَ أَقْوَالِكَ سَمِعْتُ. | ٨ 8 |
Surely thou hast said in my hearing, I have heard the sound of thy words:
قُلْتَ: أَنَا بَرِيءٌ بِلَا ذَنْبٍ. زَكِيٌّ أَنَا وَلَا إِثْمَ لِي. | ٩ 9 |
“I am pure, and without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.
هُوَذَا يَطْلُبُ عَلَيَّ عِلَلَ عَدَاوَةٍ. يَحْسِبُنِي عَدُوًّا لَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
Behold, He seeketh causes of hostility against me; He regardeth me as his enemy.
وَضَعَ رِجْلَيَّ فِي ٱلْمِقْطَرَةِ. يُرَاقِبُ كُلَّ طُرُقِي. | ١١ 11 |
He putteth my feet in the stocks; He watcheth all my paths.”
«هَا إِنَّكَ فِي هَذَا لَمْ تُصِبْ. أَنَا أُجِيبُكَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Behold, in this thou art not right; I will answer thee; For God is greater than man.
لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُهُ؟ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ أُمُورِهِ لَا يُجَاوِبُ عَنْهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Why dost thou contend with Him? For he giveth no account of any of his doings.
لَكِنَّ ٱللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ مَرَّةً، وَبِٱثْنَتَيْنِ لَا يُلَاحِظُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ. | ١٤ 14 |
For God speaketh once, Yea, twice, when man regardeth it not.
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 falleth upon men, In slumber upon the bed;
حِينَئِذٍ يَكْشِفُ آذَانَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى تَأْدِيبِهِمْ، | ١٦ 16 |
Then openeth he the ears of men, And sealeth up for them admonition;
لِيُحَوِّلَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، وَيَكْتُمَ ٱلْكِبْرِيَاءَ عَنِ ٱلرَّجُلِ، | ١٧ 17 |
That he may turn man from his purpose, And hide pride from man.
لِيَمْنَعَ نَفْسَهُ عَنِ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ وَحَيَاتَهُ مِنَ ٱلزَّوَالِ بِحَرْبَةِ ٱلْمَوْتِ. | ١٨ 18 |
Thus he saveth him from the pit, Yea, his life from perishing by the sword.
أَيْضًا يُؤَدَّبُ بِٱلْوَجَعِ عَلَى مَضْجَعِهِ، وَمُخَاصَمَةُ عِظَامِهِ دَائِمَةٌ، | ١٩ 19 |
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with a continual agitation of his bones,
فَتَكْرَهُ حَيَاتُهُ خُبْزًا، وَنَفْسُهُ ٱلطَّعَامَ ٱلشَّهِيَّ. | ٢٠ 20 |
So that his mouth abhorreth bread, And his taste the choicest food;
فَيَبْلَى لَحْمُهُ عَنِ ٱلْعِيَانِ، وَتَنْبَرِي عِظَامُهُ فَلَا تُرَى، | ٢١ 21 |
His flesh is consumed, that it cannot be seen, And his bones, that were invisible, are naked;
وَتَقْرُبُ نَفْسُهُ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ، وَحَيَاتُهُ إِلَى ٱلْمُمِيتِينَ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Yea, his soul draweth near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
إِنْ وُجِدَ عِنْدَهُ مُرْسَلٌ، وَسِيطٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ أَلْفٍ لِيُعْلِنَ لِلْإِنْسَانِ ٱسْتِقَامَتَهُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
But if there be with him a messenger, An interpreter, one of a thousand, Who may show unto man his duty,
يَتَرَاَءَفُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: أُطْلِقُهُ عَنِ ٱلْهُبُوطِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، قَدْ وَجَدْتُ فِدْيَةً. | ٢٤ 24 |
Then will God be gracious to him, and say, “Save 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 became fresher than a child's; He shall return to the days of his youth.
يُصَلِّي إِلَى ٱللهِ فَيَرْضَى عَنْهُ، وَيُعَايِنُ وَجْهَهُ بِهُتَافٍ فَيَرُدُّ عَلَى ٱلْإِنْسَانِ بِرَّهُ. | ٢٦ 26 |
He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him, And permit him to see his face with joy, And restore unto man his righteousness.
يُغَنِّي بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ أَخْطَأْتُ، وَعَوَّجْتُ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ، وَلَمْ أُجَازَ عَلَيْهِ. | ٢٧ 27 |
He shall sing among men, and say, “I sinned; I acted perversely; Yet hath he not requited me for it:
فَدَى نَفْسِي مِنَ ٱلْعُبُورِ إِلَى ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، فَتَرَى حَيَاتِيَ ٱلنُّورَ. | ٢٨ 28 |
He hath delivered me from going down to the pit, And my life beholdeth the light.”
«هُوَذَا كُلُّ هَذِهِ يَفْعَلُهَا ٱللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلَاثًا بِٱلْإِنْسَانِ، | ٢٩ 29 |
Lo! all these things doeth God Time after time with man,
لِيَرُدَّ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُفْرَةِ، لِيَسْتَنِيرَ بِنُورِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. | ٣٠ 30 |
That he may bring him back from the pit, That he may enjoy the light of the living.
فَٱصْغَ يَا أَيُّوبُ وَٱسْتَمِعْ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ. | ٣١ 31 |
Mark well, O Job! hearken to me! Keep silence, and I will speak.
إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ كَلَامٌ فَأَجِبْنِي. تَكَلَّمْ. فَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ تَبْرِيرَكَ. | ٣٢ 32 |
Yet if thou hast any thing to say, answer me! Speak! for I desire to pronounce thee innocent.
وَإِلَّا فَٱسْتَمِعْ أَنْتَ لِي. اُنْصُتْ فَأُعَلِّمَكَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ». | ٣٣ 33 |
But if not, do thou listen to me! Keep silence, and I will teach thee wisdom!
