أيُّوب 11
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ: | ١ 1 |
Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,
| «هَلْ يُتْرَكُ هَذَا الْكَلاَمُ الْمُفَرِّطُ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَوَابٍ، أَمْ يَتَبَرَّأُ الرَّجُلُ الْمِهْذَارُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?
| أَيُفْحِمُ لَغْوُكَ النَّاسَ، أَمْ تَهَكُّمُكَ يَحُولُ دُونَ تَسْفِيهِكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mock, shall no man make thee ashamed?
| إِذْ تَدَّعِي قَائِلاً: مَذْهَبِي صَالِحٌ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ 4 |
For thou say, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْتَ اللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ لِيَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ، | ٥ 5 |
But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,
| وَيَكْشِفَ لَكَ أَسْرَارَ حِكْمَتِهِ، فَلِلْحِكْمَةِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَجْهَانِ، فَتُدْرِكَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ اللهَ عَاقَبَكَ عَلَى إِثْمِكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا تَسْتَحِقُّ. | ٦ 6 |
and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of thee less than thine iniquity deserves.
| أَلَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَعْمَاقَ اللهِ، أَمْ تَبْلُغُ أَقْصَى قُوَّةِ الْقَدِيرِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
Can thou find out God by searching? Can thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
| هُوَ أَسْمَى مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ وَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ غَوْراً مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَعْلَمُ؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ 8 |
It is high as heaven; what can thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what can thou know? (Sheol h7585)
| هُوَ أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
The measure of it is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| فَإِنِ اجْتَازَ وَاعْتَقَلَكَ وَحَاكَمَكَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
If he passes through, and shuts up, and all to judgment, then who can hinder him?
| لأَنَّهُ عَالِمٌ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ. إِنْ رَأَى الإِثْمَ، أَفَلاَ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِهِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
For he knows false men. He also sees iniquity. Will he not then consider it?
| يُصْبِحُ الأَحْمَقُ حَكِيماً عِنْدَمَا يَلِدُ حِمَارُ الْوَحْشِ إِنْسَاناً. | ١٢ 12 |
But vain man is void of understanding. Yea, man is born as a wild donkey's colt.
| إِنْ هَيَّأْتَ قَلْبَكَ وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٣ 13 |
If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward him,
| وَإِنْ نَبَذْتَ الإِثْمَ الَّذِي تَلَطَّخَتْ بِهِ كَفَّاكَ، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْجَوْرُ يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
if iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِكَرَامَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ رَاسِخاً مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Surely then thou shall lift up thy face without spot. Yea, thou shall be steadfast, and shall not fear.
| فَتَنْسَى مَا قَاسَيْتَ مِنْ مَشَقَّةٍ، وَلاَ تَذْكُرُهَا إِلاَّ كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
For thou shall forget thy misery. Thou shall remember it as waters that are passed away.
| وَتُصْبِحُ حَيَاتُكَ أَكْثَرَ إِشْرَاقاً مِنْ نُورِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ ظَلاَمُهَا إِلَى صَبَاحٍ، | ١٧ 17 |
And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءً، وَتَتَلَفَّتُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَرْقُدُ آمِناً. | ١٨ 18 |
And thou shall be secure, because there is hope. Yea, thou shall search about thee, and shall take thy rest in safety.
| تَسْتَكِينُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُرَوِّعٍ، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَ رِضَاكَ | ١٩ 19 |
Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid. Yea, many shall correspond with thee.
| أَمَّا عُيُونُ الأَشْرَارِ فَيُصِيبُهَا التَّلَفُ، وَمَنَافِذُ الْهَرَبِ تَخْتَفِي مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَلاَ أَمَلَ لَهُمْ إِلاَّ فِي الْمَوْتِ». | ٢٠ 20 |
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee. And their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit.
