< أَيُّوبَ 35 >
فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو وَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:
«أَتَحْسِبُ هَذَا حَقًّا؟ قُلْتَ: أَنَا أَبَرُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Dost thou then think this to be right? Thou hast said, “I am more righteous than God.”
لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: مَاذَا يُفِيدُكَ؟ بِمَاذَا أَنْتَفِعُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خَطِيَّتِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
For thou askest, “What advantage have I? What have I gained, more than if I had sinned?”
أَنَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ كَلَامًا، وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ مَعَكَ. | ٤ 4 |
I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَأَبْصِرْ، وَلَاحِظِ ٱلْغَمَامَ. إِنَّهَا أَعْلَى مِنْكَ. | ٥ 5 |
Look up to the heavens, and see! And behold the clouds, which are high above thee!
إِنْ أَخْطَأْتَ فَمَاذَا فَعَلْتَ بِهِ؟ وَإِنْ كَثَّرْتَ مَعَاصِيَكَ فَمَاذَا عَمِلْتَ لَهُ؟ | ٦ 6 |
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against Him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou to him?
إِنْ كُنْتَ بَارًّا فَمَاذَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يَأْخُذُهُ مِنْ يَدِكَ؟ | ٧ 7 |
If thou art righteous, what dost thou give him? Or what receiveth he at thy hand?
لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلِكَ شَرُّكَ، وَلِٱبْنِ آدَمَ بِرُّكَ. | ٨ 8 |
Thy wickedness injureth only a man like thyself, And thy righteousness profiteth only a son of man.
«مِنْ كَثْرَةِ ٱلْمَظَالِمِ يَصْرُخُونَ. يَسْتَغِيثُونَ مِنْ ذِرَاعِ ٱلْأَعِزَّاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
The oppressed cry out on account of the multitude of wrongs; They cry aloud on account of the arm of the mighty.
وَلَمْ يَقُولُوا: أَيْنَ ٱللهُ صَانِعِي، مُؤْتِي ٱلْأَغَانِيِّ فِي ٱللَّيْلِ، | ١٠ 10 |
But none saith, “Where is God, my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;
ٱلَّذِي يُعَلِّمُنَا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وُحُوشِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَيَجْعَلُنَا أَحْكَمَ مِنْ طُيُورِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of heaven?”
ثَمَّ يَصْرُخُونَ مِنْ كِبْرِيَاءِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ وَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُ. | ١٢ 12 |
There they cry aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱللهَ لَا يَسْمَعُ كَذِبًا، وَٱلْقَدِيرُ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
For God will not hear the vain supplication, Nor will the Almighty regard it;
فَإِذَا قُلْتَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ تَرَاهُ، فَٱلدَّعْوَى قُدَّامَهُ، فَٱصْبِرْ لَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Much less when thou sayest thou canst not see him: Justice is with him, —only wait thou for him!
وَأَمَّا ٱلْآنَ فَلِأَنَّ غَضَبَهُ لَا يُطَالِبُ، وَلَا يُبَالِي بِكَثْرَةِ ٱلزَّلَّاتِ، | ١٥ 15 |
But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,
فَغَرَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ بِٱلْبَاطِلِ، وَكَبَّرَ ٱلْكَلَامَ بِلَا مَعْرِفَةٍ». | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.
