أيُّوب 37
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْتَعِدُ قَلْبِي وَيَثِبُ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ. | ١ 1 |
At this my heart trembles, beating rapidly within me!
| فَأَنْصِتْ، وَأَصْغِ إِلَى زَئِيرِ صَوْتِهِ، وَإِلَى زَمْجَرَةِ فَمِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Listen carefully to God's thunderous voice that rumbles as he speaks.
| يَسْتَلُّ بُرُوقَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ كُلِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَيُرْسِلُهَا إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَقَاصِي الأَرْضِ، | ٣ 3 |
He sends it across the heaven; his lightning flashes to the ends of the earth.
| فَتُدَوِّي زَمْجَرَةُ زَئِيرِهِ، وَيُرْعِدُ بِصَوْتِ جَلاَلِهِ، وَحِينَ تَتَرَدَّدُ أَصْدَاؤُهُ لاَ يَكْبَحُ جِمَاحَهَا شَيْءٌ. | ٤ 4 |
Then comes the roar of thunder, his majestic voice holding nothing back when he speaks.
| يُرْعِدُ اللهُ بِصَوْتِهِ صَانِعاً عَجَائِبَ وَآيَاتٍ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكَنَا. | ٥ 5 |
God's thunderous voice is wonderful! We can't comprehend the great things he does!
| يَقُولُ لِلثَّلْجِ اهْطِلْ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَلِلأَمْطَارِ: انْهَمِرِي بِشِدَّةٍ. | ٦ 6 |
He tells the snow to fall and the rain to pour down on the earth.
| يُوْقِفُ كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ عَنْ عَمَلِهِ، لِيُدْرِكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ خَلَقَهُمْ حَقِيقَةَ قُوَّتِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
By this he stops people working so that everyone can understand what he does.
| فَتَلْجَأُ الْوُحُوشُ إِلَى أَوْجِرَتِهَا، وَتَمْكُثُ فِي مَآوِيهَا. | ٨ 8 |
Even the animals take shelter and remain in their dens.
| تُقْبِلُ الْعَاصِفَةُ مِنَ الْجَنُوبِ، وَالْبَرَدُ مِنَ الشَّمَالِ، | ٩ 9 |
The south wind blows in storms, while the north wind blows in cold weather.
| مِنْ نَسَمَةِ اللهِ يَتَكَوَّنُ الْجَلِيدُ، وَتَتَجَمَّدُ بِسُرْعَةٍ الْمِيَاهُ الْغَزِيرَةُ. | ١٠ 10 |
God's breath produces ice, freezing the surface of water solid.
| يَشْحَنُ السُّحُبَ الْمُتَكَاثِفَةَ بِالنَّدَى، وَيُبَعْثِرُ بَرْقَهُ بَيْنَهَا. | ١١ 11 |
He fills the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning from them.
| فَتَتَحَرَّكُ كَمَا يَشَاءُ هُوَ، لِتُنَفِّذَ كُلَّ مَا يَأْمُرُهَا بِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَسْكُونَةِ. | ١٢ 12 |
They swirl around under his control; they move over all the earth as he commands.
| يُرْسِلُهَا سَوَاءٌ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَوْ لأَرْضِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ. | ١٣ 13 |
He does this to accomplish his will, either to discipline or to show his goodness.
| فَاسْتَمِعْ إِلَى هَذَا يَاأَيُّوبُ. وَتَوَقَّفْ وَتَأَمَّلْ فِي عَجَائِبِ اللهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Listen to this, Job! Stop for a moment and consider the wonderful things God does.
| هَلْ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ يَتَحَكَّمُ اللهُ فِي السُّحُبِ، وَكَيْفَ يَجْعَلُ بُرُوقَهُ تُوْمِضُ؟ | ١٥ 15 |
Do you know how God controls the clouds, or makes his lightning flash from them?
| هَلْ تَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ تَتَعَلَّقُ السُّحُبُ بِتَوَازُنٍ؟ هَذِهِ الْعَجَائِبُ الصَّادِرَةُ عَنْ كَامِلِ الْمَعْرِفَةِ! | ١٦ 16 |
Do you know how clouds float in the sky—the wonderful work of him who knows everything.
| أَنْتَ يَامَنْ تَسْخُنُ ثِيَابُهُ عِنْدَمَا تَرِينُ سَكِينَةٌ عَلَى الأَرْضِ بِتَأْثِيرِ رِيحِ الْجَنُوبِ. | ١٧ 17 |
You know how your clothes drip with sweat when the south wind brings air that is hot and heavy.
| هَلْ يُمكِنُكَ مِثْلَهُ أَنْ تُصَفِّحَ الْجَلَدَ الْمُمْتَدَّ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِرْآةٌ مَسْبُوكَةٌ؟ | ١٨ 18 |
Can you hammer out the sky so it becomes like a molten mirror, as he does?
| أَنْبِئْنَا مَاذَا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ لَهُ، فَإِنَّنَا لاَ نُحْسِنُ عَرْضَ قَضِيَّتِنَا بِسَبَبِ الظُّلْمَةِ (أَيِ الْجَهْلِ) | ١٩ 19 |
So why don't you teach us what to tell God? We cannot make our case because we are in the dark!
| هَلْ أَطْلُبُ مِنَ اللهِ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ؟ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ يَتَمَنَّى لِنَفْسِهِ الْهَلاكَ؟ | ٢٠ 20 |
Should God be told that I want to speak? Anyone who wanted to would be destroyed!
| لاَ يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُحَدِّقَ إِلَى النُّورِ عِنْدَمَا يَكُونُ مُتَوَهِّجاً فِي السَّمَاءِ، بَعْدَ أَنْ تَكُونَ الرِّيحُ قَدْ بَدَّدَتْ عَنْهُ السُّحُبَ. | ٢١ 21 |
After all, we can't look at the sun when it blazes brightly in the sky, after the wind has cleared away the clouds.
| يُقْبِلُ مِنَ الشَّمَالِ بَهَاءٌ ذَهَبِيٌّ، إِنَّ اللهَ مُسَرْبَلٌ بِجَلاَلٍ مُرْهِبٍ. | ٢٢ 22 |
Out of the north God comes shining like gold, surrounded in awesome majesty.
| وَلاَ يُمْكِنُنَا إِدْرَاكُ الْقَدِيرِ، فَهُوَ مُتَعَظِّمٌ بِالْقُوَّةِ وَالْعَدْلِ وَالْبِرِّ وَلاَ يَجُورُ، | ٢٣ 23 |
We cannot approach the Almighty for he is far beyond us in power and justice, and doing right.
| لِذَلِكَ يَرْهَبُهُ الْجَمِيعُ، لأَنَّهُ يَحْتَقِرُ أَدْعِيَاءَ الْحِكْمَةِ». | ٢٤ 24 |
He does not act like a tyrant—no wonder people are in awe of him, though he does not value those who think they're wise.”
