أيُّوب 2
| ثُمَّ مَثَلَ بَنُو اللهِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَانْدَسَّ الشَّيْطَانُ أَيْضاً فِي وَسَطِهِمْ، | ١ 1 |
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
| فَسَأَلَ الرَّبُّ الشَّيْطَانَ: «مِنْ أَيْنَ جِئْتَ؟» فَأَجَابَ الشَّيْطَانُ: «مِنَ الطَّوَافِ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالتَّجَوُّلِ فِيهَا». | ٢ 2 |
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَلْ رَاقَبْتَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ فِي الأَرْضِ، فَهُوَ رَجُلٌ كَامِلٌ صَالِحٌ، يَتَّقِي اللهَ وَيَحِيدُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، وَحَتَّى الآنَ لَا يَزَالُ مُعْتَصِماً بِكَمَالِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّكَ أَثَرْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ لأُهْلِكَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ دَاعٍ». | ٣ 3 |
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
| فَأَجَابَ الشَّيْطَانُ: «جِلْدٌ بِجِلْدٍ، فَالإِنْسَانُ يَبْذُلُ كُلَّ مَا يَمْلِكُ فِدَاءَ نَفْسِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
| وَلَكِنْ حَالَمَا تَمُدُّ يَدَكَ إِلَيْهِ وَتَمَسُّ عَظْمَهُ وَلَحْمَهُ فَإِنَّهُ فِي وَجْهِكَ يُجَدِّفُ عَلَيْكَ». | ٥ 5 |
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
| فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِلشَّيْطَانِ: «هَا أَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكَ، وَلَكِنِ احْفَظْ نَفْسَهُ». | ٦ 6 |
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in thine hand; but save his life.
| فَانْصَرَفَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ، وَابْتَلَى أَيُّوبَ بِقُرُوحٍ انْتَشَرَتْ فِي بَدَنِهِ كُلِّهِ، مِنْ قِمَّةِ الرَّأْسِ إِلَى أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ، | ٧ 7 |
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
| فَجَلَسَ أَيُّوبُ وَسَطَ الرَّمَادِ وَتَنَاوَلَ شَقْفَةً يَحُكُّ بِها قُرُوحَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
| فَقَالَتْ لَهُ زَوْجَتُهُ: «أَمَازِلْتَ مُعْتَصِماً بِكَمَالِكَ؟ جَدِّفْ عَلَى اللهِ وَمُتْ». | ٩ 9 |
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
| فَأَجَابَهَا: «أَنْتِ تَتَكَلَّمِينَ كَالْجَاهِلاتِ! أَنَقْبَلُ الْخَيْرَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ وَالشَّرَّ لَا نَقْبَلُ؟». فِي هَذَا كُلِّهِ لَمْ تَرْتَكِبْ شَفَتَا أَيُّوبَ خَطَأً فِي حَقِّ اللهِ. | ١٠ 10 |
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
| وَعِنْدَمَا سَمِعَ أَصْحَابُ أَيُّوبَ الثَّلاثَةُ بِمَا حَاقَ بِهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ، تَوَافَدُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَقَرِّ إِقَامَتِهِمْ، وَهُمْ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ، وَبِلْدَدُ الشُّوحِيُّ، وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَاعَدُوا عَلَى الاجْتِمَاعِ عِنْدَهُ لِلرِّثَاءِ لَهُ وَلِتَعْزِيَتِهِ. | ١١ 11 |
Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
| وَإِذْ رَأَوْهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوهُ لِفَرْطِ مَا حَلَّ بِهِ، فَرَفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَهُمْ بِالْبُكَاءِ، وَمَزَّقَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ جُبَّتَهُ وَذَرَّوْا تُرَاباً فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِهِمْ نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ، | ١٢ 12 |
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
| وَمَكَثُوا جَالِسِينَ مَعَهُ عَلَى الأَرْضِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَسَبْعَ لَيَالٍ، لَمْ يُكَلِّمْهُ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِكَلِمَةٍ لِشِدَّةِ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ كَآبَةٍ. | ١٣ 13 |
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that [his] grief was very great.
