Job 11
1 And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
| فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ: | ١ |
2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?
| «هَلْ يُتْرَكُ هَذَا الْكَلامُ الْمُفَرِّطُ مِنْ غَيْرِ جَوَابٍ، أَمْ يَتَبَرَّأُ الرَّجُلُ الْمِهْذَارُ؟ | ٢ |
3 Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed?
| أَيُفْحِمُ لَغْوُكَ النَّاسَ، أَمْ تَهَكُّمُكَ يَحُولُ دُونَ تَسْفِيهِكَ؟ | ٣ |
4 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
| إِذْ تَدَّعِي قَائِلاً: مَذْهَبِي صَالِحٌ، وَأَنَا بَارٌّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ |
5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
| وَلَكِنْ لَيْتَ اللهَ يَتَكَلَّمُ وَيَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيْهِ لِيَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ، | ٥ |
6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that God passeth by [much] of thine iniquity!
| وَيَكْشِفَ لَكَ أَسْرَارَ حِكْمَتِهِ، فَلِلْحِكْمَةِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَجْهَانِ، فَتُدْرِكَ آنَئِذٍ أَنَّ اللهَ عَاقَبَكَ عَلَى إِثْمِكَ بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا تَسْتَحِقُّ. | ٦ |
7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
| أَلَعَلَّكَ تُدْرِكُ أَعْمَاقَ اللهِ، أَمْ تَبْلُغُ أَقْصَى قُوَّةِ الْقَدِيرِ؟ | ٧ |
8 [It is as] the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? (Sheol h7585)
| هُوَ أَسْمَى مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، فَمَاذَا يُمْكِنُكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ؟ وَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ غَوْراً مِنَ الْهَاوِيَةِ، فَمَاذَا تَعْلَمُ؟ (Sheol h7585) | ٨ |
9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
| هُوَ أَطْوَلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ وَأَعْرَضُ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ. | ٩ |
10 If he pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?
| فَإِنِ اجْتَازَ وَاعْتَقَلَكَ وَحَاكَمَكَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ | ١٠ |
11 For he knoweth vain men, and seeth wickedness when [man] doth not consider it;
| لأَنَّهُ عَالِمٌ بِالْمُنَافِقِينَ. إِنْ رَأَى الإِثْمَ، أَفَلا يَنْظُرُ فِي أَمْرِهِ؟ | ١١ |
12 Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born [like] the foal of a wild ass.
| يُصْبِحُ الأَحْمَقُ حَكِيماً عِنْدَمَا يَلِدُ حِمَارُ الْوَحْشِ إِنْسَاناً. | ١٢ |
13 If thou prepare thy heart and stretch out thy hands toward him,
| إِنْ هَيَّأْتَ قَلْبَكَ وَبَسَطْتَ إِلَيْهِ يَدَيْكَ، | ١٣ |
14 If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;
| وَإِنْ نَبَذْتَ الإِثْمَ الَّذِي تَلَطَّخَتْ بِهِ كَفَّاكَ، فَلَمْ يَعُدِ الْجَوْرُ يُقِيمُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ. | ١٤ |
15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be stedfast and shalt not fear:
| حِينَئِذٍ تَرْفَعُ وَجْهَكَ بِكَرَامَةٍ، وَتَكُونُ رَاسِخاً مِنْ غَيْرِ خَوْفٍ، | ١٥ |
16 For thou shalt forget misery; as waters that are passed away shalt thou remember it;
| فَتَنْسَى مَا قَاسَيْتَ مِنْ مَشَقَّةٍ، وَلا تَذْكُرُهَا إِلّا كَمِيَاهٍ عَبَرَتْ. | ١٦ |
17 And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning,
| وَتُصْبِحُ حَيَاتُكَ أَكْثَرَ إِشْرَاقاً مِنْ نُورِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، وَيَتَحَوَّلُ ظَلامُهَا إِلَى صَبَاحٍ، | ١٧ |
18 And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about [thee], thou shalt take rest in safety.
| وَتَطْمَئِنُّ لأَنَّ هُنَاكَ رَجَاءً، وَتَتَلَفَّتُ حَوْلَكَ وَتَرْقُدُ آمِناً. | ١٨ |
19 Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.
| تَسْتَكِينُ إِذْ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُرَوِّعٍ، وَكَثِيرُونَ يَتَرَجَّوْنَ رِضَاكَ | ١٩ |
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and [all] refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope [shall be] the breathing out of life.
| أَمَّا عُيُونُ الأَشْرَارِ فَيُصِيبُهَا التَّلَفُ، وَمَنَافِذُ الْهَرَبِ تَخْتَفِي مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ، وَلا أَمَلَ لَهُمْ إِلّا فِي الْمَوْتِ». | ٢٠ |
