أيُّوب 11
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ: | ١ 1 |
Then Zophar, the Naamathite, answered,
| «هَلْ يُتْرَكُ هَذَا الْكَلاَمُ الْمُفَرِّطُ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَوَابٍ، أَمْ يَتَبَرَّأُ الرَّجُلُ الْمِهْذَارُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
"Shouldn't the multitude of words be answered? Should a man full of talk be justified?
| أَيُفْحِمُ لَغْوُكَ النَّاسَ، أَمْ تَهَكُّمُكَ يَحُولُ دُونَ تَسْفِيهِكَ؟ | ٣ 3 |
Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
| إِذْ تَدَّعِي قَائِلاً: مَذْهَبِي صَالِحٌ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ 4 |
For you say, 'My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.'
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْتَ اللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ لِيَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ، | ٥ 5 |
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you,
| وَيَكْشِفَ لَكَ أَسْرَارَ حِكْمَتِهِ، فَلِلْحِكْمَةِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَجْهَانِ، فَتُدْرِكَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ اللهَ عَاقَبَكَ عَلَى إِثْمِكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا تَسْتَحِقُّ. | ٦ 6 |
that he would show you the secrets of wisdom. For true wisdom has two sides. Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
| أَلَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَعْمَاقَ اللهِ، أَمْ تَبْلُغُ أَقْصَى قُوَّةِ الْقَدِيرِ؟ | ٧ 7 |
"Can you fathom the mystery of God? Or can you probe the limits of Shaddai?
| هُوَ أَسْمَى مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ وَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ غَوْراً مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَعْلَمُ؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ 8 |
They are high as heaven. What can you do? They are deeper than Sheol. What can you know? (Sheol h7585)
| هُوَ أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٩ 9 |
Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| فَإِنِ اجْتَازَ وَاعْتَقَلَكَ وَحَاكَمَكَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
| لأَنَّهُ عَالِمٌ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ. إِنْ رَأَى الإِثْمَ، أَفَلاَ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِهِ؟ | ١١ 11 |
For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn't consider it.
| يُصْبِحُ الأَحْمَقُ حَكِيماً عِنْدَمَا يَلِدُ حِمَارُ الْوَحْشِ إِنْسَاناً. | ١٢ 12 |
An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.
| إِنْ هَيَّأْتَ قَلْبَكَ وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٣ 13 |
"If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
| وَإِنْ نَبَذْتَ الإِثْمَ الَّذِي تَلَطَّخَتْ بِهِ كَفَّاكَ، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْجَوْرُ يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِكَرَامَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ رَاسِخاً مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ، | ١٥ 15 |
Surely then you shall lift up your face without spot; Yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
| فَتَنْسَى مَا قَاسَيْتَ مِنْ مَشَقَّةٍ، وَلاَ تَذْكُرُهَا إِلاَّ كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ. | ١٦ 16 |
for you shall forget your misery. You shall remember it as waters that are passed away.
| وَتُصْبِحُ حَيَاتُكَ أَكْثَرَ إِشْرَاقاً مِنْ نُورِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ ظَلاَمُهَا إِلَى صَبَاحٍ، | ١٧ 17 |
Life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it shall be as the morning.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءً، وَتَتَلَفَّتُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَرْقُدُ آمِناً. | ١٨ 18 |
You shall be secure, because there is hope. Yes, you shall search, and shall take your rest in safety.
| تَسْتَكِينُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُرَوِّعٍ، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَ رِضَاكَ | ١٩ 19 |
Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. Yes, many shall court your favor.
| 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. They shall have no way to flee. Their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit."
