| 1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: | 1 Then Job answered and said, |
|
|
|
| 2 «قَدْ سَمِعْتُ كَثِيرًا مِثْلَ هذَا. مُعَزُّونَ مُتْعِبُونَ كُلُّكُمْ! | 2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. |
|
| 3 هَلْ مِنْ نِهَايَةٍ لِكَلاَمٍ فَارِغٍ؟ أَوْ مَاذَا يُهَيِّجُكَ حَتَّى تُجَاوِبَ؟ | 3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? |
|
| 4 أَنَا أَيْضًا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ مِثْلَكُمْ، لَوْ كَانَتْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ مَكَانَ نَفْسِي، وَأَنْ أَسْرُدَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَقْوَالاً وَأُنْغِضَ رَأْسِي إِلَيْكُمْ. | 4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. |
|
| 5 بَلْ كُنْتُ أُشَدِّدُكُمْ بِفَمِي، وَتَعْزِيَةُ شَفَتَيَّ تُمْسِكُكُمْ. | 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. |
|
| 6 «إِنْ تَكَلَّمْتُ لَمْ تَمْتَنِعْ كَآبَتِي، وَإِنْ سَكَتُّ فَمَاذَا يَذْهَبُ عَنِّي؟ | 6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased? |
|
|
|
| 7 إِنَّهُ الآنَ ضَجَّرَنِي. خَرَّبْتَ كُلَّ جَمَاعَتِي. | 7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. |
|
| 8 قَبَضْتَ عَلَيَّ. وُجِدَ شَاهِدٌ. قَامَ عَلَيَّ هُزَالِي يُجَاوِبُ فِي وَجْهِي. | 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. |
|
| 9 غَضَبُهُ افْتَرَسَنِي وَاضْطَهَدَنِي. حَرَقَ عَلَيَّ أَسْنَانَهُ. عَدُوِّي يُحَدِّدُ عَيْنَيْهِ عَلَيَّ. | 9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. |
|
| 10 فَغَرُوا عَلَيَّ أَفْوَاهَهُمْ. لَطَمُونِي عَلَى فَكِّي تَعْيِيرًا. تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَيَّ جَمِيعًا. | 10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. |
|
| 11 دَفَعَنِيَ اللهُ إِلَى الظَّالِمِ، وَفِي أَيْدِي الأَشْرَارِ طَرَحَنِي. | 11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. |
|
| 12 كُنْتُ مُسْتَرِيحًا فَزَعْزَعَنِي، وَأَمْسَكَ بِقَفَايَ فَحَطَّمَنِي، وَنَصَبَنِي لَهُ غَرَضًا. | 12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. |
|
13 أَحَاطَتْ بِي رُمَاتُهُ. شَقَّ كُلْيَتَيَّ وَلَمْ يُشْفِقْ. سَفَكَ مَرَارَتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ.  | 13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. |
|
| 14 يَقْتَحِمُنِي اقْتِحَامًا عَلَى اقْتِحَامٍ. يَعْدُو عَلَيَّ كَجَبَّارٍ. | 14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. |
|
| 15 خِطْتُ مِسْحًا عَلَى جِلْدِي، وَدَسَسْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ قَرْنِي. | 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. |
|
|
| 16 اِحْمَرَّ وَجْهِي مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ، وَعَلَى هُدُبِي ظِلُّ الْمَوْتِ. | 16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; |
|
| 17 مَعَ أَنَّهُ لاَ ظُلْمَ فِي يَدِي، وَصَلاَتِي خَالِصَةٌ. | 17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. |
|
|
| 18 «يَا أَرْضُ لاَ تُغَطِّي دَمِي، وَلاَ يَكُنْ مَكَانٌ لِصُرَاخِي. | 18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. |
|
| 19 أَيْضًا الآنَ هُوَذَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ شَهِيدِي، وَشَاهِدِي فِي الأَعَالِي. | 19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. |
|
| 20 الْمُسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِي هُمْ أَصْحَابِي. ِللهِ تَقْطُرُ عَيْنِي | 20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. |
|
| 21 لِكَيْ يُحَاكِمَ الإِنْسَانَ عِنْدَ اللهِ كَابْنِ آدَمَ لَدَى صَاحِبِهِ. | 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! |
|
| 22 إِذَا مَضَتْ سِنُونَ قَلِيلَةٌ أَسْلُكُ فِي طَرِيق لاَ أَعُودُ مِنْهَا. | 22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. |
