Job 39
1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?
| هَلْ تُدْرِكُ مَتَى تَلِدُ أَوْعَالُ الصُّخُورِ أَمْ تَرْقُبُ مَخَاضَ الأَيَائِلِ؟ | ١ |
2 Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
| هَلْ تَحْسُبُ أَشْهُرَ حَمْلِهِنَّ، وَتَعْلَمُ مِيعَادَ وَضْعِهِنَّ، | ٢ |
3 They bow themselves, they give birth to their young ones, they cast out their pains;
| حِينَ يَجْثُمْنَ لِيَضَعْنَ صِغَارَهُنَّ، وَيتَخَلَّصْنَ مِنْ آلامِ مَخَاضِهِنَّ؟ | ٣ |
4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them.
| تَكْبُرُ صِغَارُهُنَّ، وَتَنْمُو فِي الْقَفْرِ، ثُمَّ تَشْرُدُ وَلا تَعُودُ. | ٤ |
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,
| مَنْ أَطْلَقَ سَرَاحَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ وَفَكَّ رُبُطَ حِمَارِ الْوَحْشِ؟ | ٥ |
6 Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?
| لِمَنْ أَعْطَيْتُ الصَّحْرَاءَ مَسْكَناً وَالأَرْضَ الْمِلْحِيَّةَ مَنْزِلاً؟ | ٦ |
7 He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;
| فَيَسْخَرَ مِنْ جَلَبَةِ الْمُدُنِ وَلا يَسْمَعَ نِدَاءَ السَّائِقِ؟ | ٧ |
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
| يَرْتَادُ الْجِبَالَ مَرْعىً لَهُ، وَيَلْتَمِسُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ أَخْضَرُ، | ٨ |
9 Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy crib?
| أَيَرْضَى الثَّوْرُ الْوَحْشِيُّ أَنْ يَخْدُمَكَ؟ أَيَبِيتُ عِنْدَ مِعْلِفِكَ؟ | ٩ |
10 Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
| أَتَرْبِطُهُ بِالنِّيرِ لِيَجُرَّ لَكَ الْمِحْرَاثَ، أَمْ يُمَهِّدُ الْوَادِي خَلْفَكَ؟ | ١٠ |
11 Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
| أَتَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ لِقُوَّتِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَتُكَلِّفُهُ الْقِيَامَ بِأَعْمَالِكَ؟ | ١١ |
12 Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?
| أَتَثِقُ بِعَوْدَتِهِ حَامِلاً إِلَيْكَ حِنْطَتَكَ لِيُكَوِّمَهَا فِي بَيْدَرِكَ؟ | ١٢ |
13 The wing of the ostrich beats joyously — But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?
| يُرَفْرِفُ جَنَاحَا النَّعَامَةِ بِغِبْطَةٍ، وَلَكِنْ أَهُمَا جَنَاحَانِ مَكْسُوَّانِ بِرِيشِ الْمَحَبَّةِ؟ | ١٣ |
14 For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
| فَهِيَ تَتْرُكُ بَيْضَهَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ لِيَدْفَأَ بِالتُّرَابِ، | ١٤ |
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.
| وَتَنْسَى أَنَّ الْقَدَمَ قَدْ تَطَأُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَنَّ بَعْضَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ الْكَاسِرَةِ قَدْ تُحَطِّمُهُ. | ١٥ |
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.
| إِنَّهَا تُعَامِلُ صِغَارَهَا بِقَسْوَةٍ كَأَنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَهَا، غَيْرَ آسِفَةٍ عَلَى ضَيَاعِ تَعَبِهَا، | ١٦ |
17 For God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.
| لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْسَاهَا الْحِكْمَةَ، وَلَمْ يَمْنَحْهَا نَصِيباً مِنَ الْفَهْمِ. | ١٧ |
18 What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
| وَلَكِنْ مَا إِنْ تَبْسُطُ جَنَاحَيْهَا، لِتَجْرِيَ حَتَّى تَهْزَأَ بِالْفَرَسِ وَرَاكِبِهِ! | ١٨ |
19 Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
| أَأَنْتَ وَهَبْتَ الْفَرَسَ قُوَّتَهُ، وَكَسَوْتَ عُنُقَهُ عُرْفاً؟ | ١٩ |
20 Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
| أَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهُ يَثِبُ كَجَرَادَةٍ؟ إنَّ نَخِيرَهُ الْهَائِلَ لَمُخِيفٌ. | ٢٠ |
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.
| يَشُقُّ الْوَادِي بِحَوَافِرِهِ، وَيَمْرَحُ فِي جَمِّ نَشَاطِهِ، وَيَقْتَحِمُ الْمَعَارِكَ. | ٢١ |
22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.
| يَسْخَرُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَلا يَرْتَاعُ، وَلا يَتَرَاجَعُ أَمَامَ السَّيْفِ. | ٢٢ |
23 The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
| تَصِلُّ عَلَيْهِ جُعْبَةُ السِّهَامِ، وَأَيْضاً بَرِيقُ الرِّمَاحِ وَالْحِرَابِ. | ٢٣ |
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:
| فِي جَرْيِهِ يَنْهَبُ الأَرْضَ بِعُنْفُوَانٍ وَغَضَبٍ وَلا يَسْتَقِرُّ فِي مَكَانِهِ عِنْدَ نَفْخِ بُوقِ الْحَرْبِ. | ٢٤ |
25 At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
| عِنْدَمَا يُدَوِّي صَوْتُ الْبُوقِ يَقُولُ: هَهْ هَهْ! وَيَسْتَرْوِحُ الْمَعْرَكَةَ عَنْ بُعْدٍ، وَيَسْمَعُ زَئِيرَ الْقَادَةِ وَهُتَافَهُمْ. | ٢٥ |
26 Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south?
| أَبِحِكْمَتِكَ يُحَلِّقُ الصَّقْرُ وَيَفْرِدُ جَنَاحَيْهِ نَحْوَ الْجَنُوبِ؟ | ٢٦ |
27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high?
| أَبِأَمْرِكَ يُحَلِّقُ النَّسْرُ وَيَجْعَلُ وَكْرَهُ فِي الْعَلاءِ؟ | ٢٧ |
28 He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:
| يُعَشِّشُ بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ، وَيَبِيتُ فِيهَا وَعَلَى جُرْفٍ صَخْرِيٍّ يَكُونُ مَعْقَلُهُ. | ٢٨ |
29 From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance;
| مِنْ هُنَاكَ يَتَرَصَّدُ قُوتَهُ، وَتَرْقُبُ عَيْنَاهُ فَرِيسَتَهُ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ٢٩ |
30 And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
| وَتَأْكُلُ فِرَاخُهُ أَيْضاً الدِّمَاءَ، وَحَيْثُ تَكُونُ الْجُثَثُ تَتَجَمَّعُ النُّسُورُ». | ٣٠ |
