< أيُّوب 26 >

أَيُّوبُ: ١ 1
Then Job answered and said:
«يَا لَكُمْ مِنْ عَوْنٍ كَبِيرٍ لِلْخَائِرِ! كَيْفَ خَلَّصْتُمْ ذِرَاعاً وَاهِيَةً! ٢ 2
How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!
أَيَّةَ مَشَورَةٍ أَسْدَيْتُمْ لِلأَحْمَقِ! أَيَّةُ مَعْرِفَةٍ صَادِقَةٍ وَافِرَةٍ زَوَّدْتُمُوهُ بِها! ٣ 3
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
لِمَنْ نَطَقْتُمْ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ؟ وَرُوحُ مَنْ عَبَّرتُمْ عَنْهُ؟ ٤ 4
With whose help hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?
تَرْتَعِدُ الأَشْبَاحُ مِنْ تَحْتُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمِيَاهُ وَسُكَّانُهَا. ٥ 5
The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
الْهَاوِيَةُ مَكْشُوفَةٌ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالْهَلاكُ لَا سِتْرَ لَهُ. (Sheol h7585) ٦ 6
The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)
يَمُدُّ الشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْخَوَاءِ وَيُعَلِّقُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى لَا شَيْءٍ. ٧ 7
He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.
يَصُرُّ الْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلا يَتَخَرَّقُ الْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا. ٨ 8
He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
يَحْجُبُ وَجْهَ عَرْشِهِ وَيَبْسُطُ فَوْقَهُ غُيُومَهُ. ٩ 9
He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.
رَسَمَ حَدّاً عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ خَطِّ اتِّصَالِ النُّورِ بِالظُّلْمَةِ. ١٠ 10
He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
مِنْ زَجْرِهِ تَرْتَعِشُ أَعْمِدَةُ السَّمَاءِ وَتَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَقْرِيعِهِ. ١١ 11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.
بِقُوَّتِهِ يُهَدِّئُ هَيَجَانَ الْبَحْرِ وَبِحِكْمَتِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ. ١٢ 12
He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.
بِنَسْمَتِهِ جَمَّلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَيَدَاهُ اخْتَرَقَتَا الْحَيَّةَ الْهَارِبَةَ. ١٣ 13
By His breath the heavens are serene; His hand hath pierced the slant serpent.
وَهَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ سِوَى أَدْنَى طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَتَ هَمْسَ كَلامِهِ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ؛ فَمَنْ يُدْرِكُ إِذاً رَعْدَ جَبَرُوتِهِ؟» ١٤ 14
Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?
