< أيُّوب 17 >
تَلِفَتْ رُوحِي وَانْطَفَأَتْ أَيَّامِي، وَالْقَبْرُ مُعَدٌّ لِي. | ١ 1 |
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me.
الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ يُحَاصِرُونَنِي، الَّذِينَ تَشْهَدُ عَيْنِي مُشَاجَرَاتِهِمْ. | ٢ 2 |
[Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not my eye continue in their provocation?
كُنْ لِي ضَامِناً عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ، إِذْ مَنْ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَفِيلِي؟ | ٣ 3 |
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me?
فَأَنْتَ حَجَبْتَ الْفِطْنَةَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ تُظْفِرَهُمْ، | ٤ 4 |
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
وَلْتَتْلَفْ عُيُونُ أَبْنَاءِ مَنْ يَشِي بِأَصْحَابِهِ طَمَعاً فِي أَمْلاَكِهِمْ. | ٥ 5 |
He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
لَقَدْ جَعَلَنِي مَثَلاً لِلأُمَمِ، وَصَارَ وَجْهِي مَبْصَقَةً. | ٦ 6 |
He hath made me also a by-word of the people; and in former time I was as a tabret.
كَلَّتْ عَيْنَايَ حُزْناً وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَعْضَائِي كَالظِّلِّ، | ٧ 7 |
My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shade.
فَزِعَ الْمُسْتَقِيمُونَ مِنْ هَذَا، وَثَارَ الْبَرِيءُ عَلَى الْفَاجِرِ، | ٨ 8 |
Upright [men] shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
أَمَّا الصِّدِّيقُ فَيَتَمَسَّكُ بِطَرِيقِهِ، وَيَزْدَادُ الطَّاهِرُ الْيَدَيْنِ قُوَّةً. | ٩ 9 |
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
وَلَكِنِ ارْجِعُوا جَمِيعُكُمْ، تَعَالَوْا كُلُّكُمْ، فَلاَ أَجِدُ فِيكُمْ حَكِيماً. | ١٠ 10 |
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you.
قَدْ عَبَرَتْ أَيَّامِي، وَتَمَزَّقَتْ مَآرِبِي الَّتِي هِيَ رَغَبَاتُ قَلْبِي. | ١١ 11 |
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the thoughts of my heart.
يَجْعَلُونَ اللَّيْلَ نَهَاراً، وَعَلَى الرَّغْمِ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ النُّورَ قَرِيبٌ!» | ١٢ 12 |
They change the night into day: the light [is] short because of darkness.
إِذَا رَجَوْتُ أَنْ تَكوُنَ الْهَاوِيَةُ مَقَرّاً لِي، وَمَهَّدْتُ فِي الظَّلاَمِ فِرَاشِي، (Sheol ) | ١٣ 13 |
If I wait, the grave [is] my house: I have made my bed in the darkness. (Sheol )
وَإِنْ قُلْتُ لِلْقَبْرِ أَنْتَ أَبِي، وَلِلدُّودِ أَنْتَ أُمِّي أَوْ أُخْتِي، | ١٤ 14 |
I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father: to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister.
فَأَيْنَ إِذاً آمَالِي؟ وَمَنْ يُعَايِنُ رَجَائِي؟ | ١٥ 15 |
And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?
أَلاَ تَنْحَدِرُ إِلَى مَغَالِيقِ الْهَاوِيَةِ، وَنَسْتَقِرُّ مَعاً فِي التُّرَابِ؟» (Sheol ) | ١٦ 16 |
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust. (Sheol )
