< أَيُّوبَ 5 >
«اُدْعُ ٱلْآنَ. فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ مُجِيبٍ؟ وَإِلَى أَيِّ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ تَلْتَفِتُ؟ | ١ 1 |
Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of the holy ones dost thou turn?
لِأَنَّ ٱلْغَيْظَ يَقْتُلُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ، وَٱلْغَيْرَةَ تُمِيتُ ٱلْأَحْمَقَ. | ٢ 2 |
For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple,
إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ٱلْغَبِيَّ يَتَأَصَّلُ وَبَغْتَةً لَعَنْتُ مَرْبِضَهُ. | ٣ 3 |
I — I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway,
بَنُوهُ بَعِيدُونَ عَنِ ٱلْأَمْنِ، وَقَدْ تَحَطَّمُوا فِي ٱلْبَابِ وَلَا مُنْقِذَ. | ٤ 4 |
Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْجَوْعَانُ حَصِيدَهُمْ، وَيَأْخُذُهُ حَتَّى مِنَ ٱلشَّوْكِ، وَيَشْتَفُّ ٱلظَّمْآنُ ثَرْوَتَهُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.
إِنَّ ٱلْبَلِيَّةَ لَا تَخْرُجُ مِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ، وَٱلشَّقَاوَةَ لَا تَنْبُتُ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، | ٦ 6 |
For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery.
وَلَكِنَّ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَوْلُودٌ لِلْمَشَقَّةِ كَمَا أَنَّ ٱلْجَوَارِحَ لِٱرْتِفَاعِ ٱلْجَنَاحِ. | ٧ 7 |
For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly.
«لَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَطْلُبُ إِلَى ٱللهِ، وَعَلَى ٱللهِ أَجْعَلُ أَمْرِي. | ٨ 8 |
Yet I — I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,
ٱلْفَاعِلِ عَظَائِمَ لَا تُفْحَصُ وَعَجَائِبَ لَا تُعَدُّ. | ٩ 9 |
Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering.
ٱلْمُنْزِلِ مَطَرًا عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، وَٱلْمُرْسِلِ ٱلْمِيَاهَ عَلَى ٱلْبَرَارِيِّ. | ١٠ 10 |
Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places.
ٱلْجَاعِلِ ٱلْمُتَوَاضِعِينَ فِي ٱلْعُلَى، فَيَرْتَفِعُ ٱلْمَحْزُونُونَ إِلَى أَمْنٍ. | ١١ 11 |
To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high [in] safety.
ٱلْمُبْطِلِ أَفْكَارَ ٱلْمُحْتَالِينَ، فَلَا تُجْرِي أَيْدِيهِمْ قَصْدًا. | ١٢ 12 |
Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not execute wisdom.
ٱلْآخِذِ ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ بِحِيلَتِهِمْ، فَتَتَهَوَّرُ مَشُورَةُ ٱلْمَاكِرِينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hastened,
فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ يَصْدِمُونَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَتَلَمَّسُونَ فِي ٱلظَّهِيرَةِ كَمَا فِي ٱللَّيْلِ. | ١٤ 14 |
By day they meet darkness, And as night — they grope at noon.
ٱلْمُنَجِّيَ ٱلْبَائِسَ مِنَ ٱلسَّيْفِ، مِنْ فَمِهِمْ وَمِنْ يَدِ ٱلْقَوِيِّ. | ١٥ 15 |
And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy,
فَيَكُونُ لِلذَّلِيلِ رَجَاءٌ وَتَسُدُّ ٱلْخَطِيَّةُ فَاهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth.
«هُوَذَا طُوبَى لِرَجُلٍ يُؤَدِّبُهُ ٱللهُ. فَلَا تَرْفُضْ تَأْدِيبَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ. | ١٧ 17 |
Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,
لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ يَجْرَحُ وَيَعْصِبُ. يَسْحَقُ وَيَدَاهُ تَشْفِيَانِ. | ١٨ 18 |
For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal.
فِي سِتِّ شَدَائِدَ يُنَجِّيكَ، وَفِي سَبْعٍ لَا يَمَسُّكَ سُوءٌ. | ١٩ 19 |
In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee.
فِي ٱلْجُوعِ يَفْدِيكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَفِي ٱلْحَرْبِ مِنْ حَدِّ ٱلسَّيْفِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword.
مِنْ سَوْطِ ٱللِّسَانِ تُخْتَبَأُ، فَلَا تَخَافُ مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ إِذَا جَاءَ. | ٢١ 21 |
When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh.
تَضْحَكُ عَلَى ٱلْخَرَابِ وَٱلْمَحْلِ، وَلَا تَخْشَى وُحُوشَ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٢ 22 |
At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid.
لِأَنَّهُ مَعَ حِجَارَةِ ٱلْحَقْلِ عَهْدُكَ، وَوُحُوشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ تُسَالِمُكَ. | ٢٣ 23 |
(For with sons of the field [is] thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.)
فَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ خَيْمَتَكَ آمِنَةٌ، وَتَتَعَهَّدُ مَرْبِضَكَ وَلَا تَفْقِدُ شَيْئًا. | ٢٤ 24 |
And thou hast known that thy tent [is] peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not,
وَتَعْلَمُ أَنَّ زَرْعَكَ كَثِيرٌ وَذُرِّيَّتَكَ كَعُشْبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٢٥ 25 |
And hast known that numerous [is] Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth;
تَدْخُلُ ٱلْمَدْفَنَ فِي شَيْخُوخَةٍ، كَرَفْعِ ٱلْكُدْسِ فِي أَوَانِهِ. | ٢٦ 26 |
Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.
هَا إِنَّ ذَا قَدْ بَحَثْنَا عَنْهُ. كَذَا هُوَ. فَٱسْمَعْهُ وَٱعْلَمْ أَنْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ». | ٢٧ 27 |
Lo, this — we searched it out — it [is] right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!
