Job 30
1 Bvt now they that are yonger then I, mocke me: yea, they whose fathers I haue refused to set with the dogges of my flockes.
| أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ هَزَأَ بِي مَنْ هُمْ أَصْغَرُ مِنِّي سِنّاً، مَنْ كُنْتُ آنَفُ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ آبَاءَهُمْ مَعَ كِلاَبِ غَنَمِي. | ١ |
2 For whereto shoulde the strength of their handes haue serued mee, seeing age perished in them?
| إِذْ مَا جَدْوَى قُوَّةِ أَيْدِيهِمْ لِي بَعْدَ أَنْ أُصِيبِتْ بِعَجْزٍ؟ | ٢ |
3 For pouertie and famine they were solitary, fleeing into the wildernes, which is darke, desolate and waste.
| يَهِيمُونَ هُزَالَى جِيَاعاً، يَنْبُشُونَ الْيَابِسَةَ الْخَرِبَةَ الْمَهْجُورَةَ. | ٣ |
4 They cut vp nettels by the bushes, and the iuniper rootes was their meate.
| يَلْتَقِطُونَ الْخُبَّيْزَةَ بَيْنَ الْعُلَّيْقِ، وَخُبْزُهُمْ عُرُوقُ الرَّتَمِ. | ٤ |
5 They were chased forth from among men: they shouted at them, as at a theefe.
| يُطْرَدُونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ، وَيَصْرُخُونَ خَلْفَهُمْ كَمَا يَصْرُخُونَ عَلَى لِصٍّ. | ٥ |
6 Therfore they dwelt in the clefts of riuers, in the holes of the earth and rockes.
| يُقِيمُونَ فِي كُهُوفِ الْوِدْيَانِ الْجَافَّةِ، بَيْنَ الصُّخُورِ وَفِي ثُقُوبِ الأَرْضِ. | ٦ |
7 They roared among the bushes, and vnder the thistles they gathered themselues.
| يَنْهَقُونَ بَيْنَ الْعُلَّيْقِ، وَيرْبِضُونَ تَحْتَ الْعَوْسَجِ. | ٧ |
8 They were the children of fooles and the children of villaines, which were more vile then the earth.
| هُمْ حَمْقَى، أَبْنَاءُ قَوْمٍ خَامِلِينَ مَنْبُوذِينَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ. | ٨ |
9 And now am I their song, and I am their talke.
| أَمَّا الآنَ فَقَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةٍ لَهُمْ وَمَثَلاً يَتَنَدَّرُونَ بِهِ | ٩ |
10 They abhorre me, and flee farre from mee, and spare not to spit in my face.
| يَشْمَئِزُّونَ مِنِّي وَيَتَجَافَوْنَنِي، لاَ يَتَوَانَوْنَ عَنِ الْبَصْقِ فِي وَجْهِي! | ١٠ |
11 Because that God hath loosed my corde and humbled mee, they haue loosed the bridle before me.
| لأَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَرْخَى وَتَرَ قَوْسِي وَأَذَلَّنِي، انْقَلَبُوا ضِدِّي بِكُلِّ قُوَّتِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 The youth rise vp at my right hand: they haue pusht my feete, and haue trode on me as on the paths of their destruction.
| قَامَ صِغَارُهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِي يُزِلُّونَ قَدَمِي وَيُمَهِّدُونَ سُبُلَ دَمَارِي. | ١٢ |
13 They haue destroyed my paths: they tooke pleasure at my calamitie, they had none helpe.
| سَدُّوا عَلَيَّ مَنْفَذَ مَهْرَبِي، وَتَضَافَرُوا عَلَى هَلاَكِي، مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مُعِينٌ. | ١٣ |
14 They came as a great breach of waters, and vnder this calamitie they come on heapes.
| وَكَأَنَّمَا مِنْ ثُغْرَةٍ وَاسِعَةٍ تَدَافَعُوا نَحْوِي، وَانْدَفَعُوا هَاجِمِينَ بَيْنَ الرَّدْمِ. | ١٤ |
15 Feare is turned vpon mee: and they pursue my soule as the winde, and mine health passeth away as a cloude.
| طَغَتْ عَلَيَّ الأَهْوَالُ، فَتَطَايَرَتْ كَرَامَتِي كَوَرَقَةٍ أَمَامَ الرِّيحِ، وَمَضَى رَغْدِي كَالسَّحَابِ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore my soule is nowe powred out vpon me, and the dayes of affliction haue taken holde on me.
| وَالآنَ تَهَافَتَتْ نَفْسِي عَلَيَّ وَتَنَاهَبَتْنِي أَيَّامُ بُؤْسِي. | ١٦ |
17 It pearceth my bones in the night, and my sinewes take no rest.
| يَنْخَرُ اللَّيْلُ عِظَامِي، وَآلاَمِي الضَّارِيَةُ لاَ تَهْجَعُ. | ١٧ |
18 For the great vehemencie is my garment changed, which compasseth me about as the colar of my coate.
| تَشُدُّ بِعُنْفٍ لِبَاسِي وَتَحْزِمُنِي مِثْلَ طَوْقِ عَبَاءَتِي. | ١٨ |
19 He hath cast me into the myre, and I am become like ashes and dust.
| قَدْ طَرَحَنِي اللهُ فِي الْحَمْأَةِ فَأَشْبَهْتُ التُّرَابَ وَالرَّمَادَ. | ١٩ |
20 Whe I cry vnto thee, thou doest not heare me, neither regardest me, when I stand vp.
| أَسْتَغِيثُ بِكَ فَلاَ تَسْتَجِيبُ، وَأَقِفُ أَمَامَكَ فَلاَ تَأْبَهُ بِي. | ٢٠ |
21 Thou turnest thy selfe cruelly against me, and art enemie vnto mee with the strength of thine hand.
| أَصْبَحْتَ لِي عَدُوّاً قَاسِياً، وَبِقُدْرَةِ ذِرَاعِكَ تَضْطَهِدُنِي. | ٢١ |
22 Thou takest me vp and causest mee to ride vpon the winde, and makest my strength to faile.
| خَطَفْتَنِي وَأَرْكَبْتَنِي عَلَى الرِّيحِ، تُذِيبُنِي فِي زَئِيرِ الْعَاصِفَةِ. | ٢٢ |
23 Surely I knowe that thou wilt bring mee to death, and to the house appoynted for all the liuing.
| فَأَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسُوقُنِي إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَإِلَى دَارِ مِيعَادِ كُلِّ حَيٍّ. | ٢٣ |
24 Doubtles none can stretch his hand vnto the graue, though they cry in his destruction.
| وَلَكِنْ أَلاَ يَمُدُّ إِنْسَانٌ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الأَنْقَاضِ؟ أَوَ لاَ يَسْتَغِيثُ فِي بَلِيَّتِهِ؟ | ٢٤ |
25 Did not I weepe with him that was in trouble? was not my soule in heauinesse for the poore?
| أَلَمْ أَبْكِ لِمَنْ قَسَا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمُهُ؟ أَلَمْ تَحْزَنْ نَفْسِي لِلْمِسْكِينِ؟ | ٢٥ |
26 Yet when I looked for good, euill came vnto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkenesse.
| وَلَكِنْ حِينَ تَرَقَّبْتُ الْخَيْرَ أَقْبَلَ الشَّرُّ، وَحِينَ تَوَقَّعْتُ النُّورَ هَجَمَ الظَّلاَمُ. | ٢٦ |
27 My bowels did boyle without rest: for the dayes of affliction are come vpon me.
| قَلْبِي يَغْلِي وَلَنْ يَهْدَأَ، وَأَيَّامُ الْبَلِيَّةِ غَشِيَتْنِي. | ٢٧ |
28 I went mourning without sunne: I stood vp in the congregation and cryed.
| فَأَمْضِي نَائِحاً لَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَزَاءٍ. أَقِفُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ أَطْلُبُ الْعَوْنَ. | ٢٨ |
29 I am a brother to the dragons, and a companion to the ostriches.
| صِرْتُ أَخاً لِبَنَاتِ آوَى، وَرَفِيقاً لِلنَّعَامِ. | ٢٩ |
30 My skinne is blacke vpon me, and my bones are burnt with heate.
| اسْوَدَّ جِلْدِي عَلَيَّ وَتَقَشَّرَ، وَاحْتَرَقَتْ عِظَامِي مِنَ الْحُمَّى | ٣٠ |
31 Therefore mine harpe is turned to mourning, and mine organs into the voyce of them that weepe.
| صَارَتْ قِيثَارَتِي لِلنَّوْحِ، وَمِزْمَارِي لِصَوْتِ النَّادِبِينَ. | ٣١ |
