| 1 فَكَفَّ هؤُلاَءِ الرِّجَالُ الثَّلاَثَةُ عَنْ مُجَاوَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ لِكَوْنِهِ بَارًّا فِي عَيْنَيْ نَفْسِهِ. | 1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. |
|
|
| 2 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ أَلِيهُوَ بْنِ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيِّ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ رَامٍ. عَلَى أَيُّوبَ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ لأنَّهُ حَسَبَ نَفْسَهُ أَبَرَّ مِنَ اللهِ. | 2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
|
| 3 وَعَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ الثَّلاَثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا جَوَابًا وَاسْتَذْنَبُوا أَيُّوبَ. | 3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. |
|
| 4 وَكَانَ أَلِيهُو قَدْ صَبَرَ عَلَى أَيُّوبَ بِالْكَلاَمِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا. | 4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. |
|
| 5 فَلَمَّا رَأَى أَلِيهُو أَنَّهُ لاَ جَوَابَ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الرِّجَالِ الثَّلاَثَةِ حَمِيَ غَضَبُهُ. | 5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. |
|
| 6 فَأَجَابَ أَلِيهُو بْنُ بَرَخْئِيلَ الْبُوزِيُّ وَقَالَ: «أَنَا صَغِيرٌ فِي الأَيَّامِ وَأَنْتُمْ شُيُوخٌ، لأَجْلِ ذلِكَ خِفْتُ وَخَشِيتُ أَنْ أُبْدِيَ لَكُمْ رَأْيِيِ. | 6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. |
|
|
| 7 قُلْتُ: الأَيَّامُ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَكَثْرَةُ السِّنِينَِ تُظْهِرُ حِكْمَةً. | 7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. |
|
| 8 وَلكِنَّ فِي النَّاسِ رُوحًا، وَنَسَمَةُ الْقَدِيرِ تُعَقِّلُهُمْ. | 8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. |
|
| 9 لَيْسَ الْكَثِيرُو الأَيَّامِ حُكَمَاءَ، وَلاَ الشُّيُوخُ يَفْهَمُونَ الْحَقَّ. | 9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. |
|
| 10 لِذلِكَ قُلْتُ: اسْمَعُونِي. أَنَا أَيْضًا أُبْدِي رَأْيِيِ. | 10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion. |
|
| 11 هأَنَذَا قَدْ صَبِرْتُ لِكَلاَمِكُمْ. أَصْغَيْتُ إِلَى حُجَجِكُمْ حَتَّى فَحَصْتُمُ الأَقْوَالَ. | 11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say. |
|
12 فَتَأَمَّلْتُ فِيكُمْ وَإِذْ لَيْسَ مَنْ حَجَّ أَيُّوبَ، وَلاَ جَوَابَ مِنْكُمْ لِكَلاَمِهِ.  | 12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words: |
|
| 13 فَلاَ تَقُولُوا: قَدْ وَجَدْنَا حِكْمَةً. اَللهُ يَغْلِبُهُ لاَ الإِنْسَانُ. | 13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man. |
|
| 14 فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُوَجِّهْ إِلَيَّ كَلاَمَهُ وَلاَ أَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنَا بِكَلاَمِكُمْ. | 14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
|
| 15 تَحَيَّرُوا. لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ. انْتَزَعَ عَنْهُمُ الْكَلاَمُ. | 15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking. |
|
|
| 16 فَانْتَظَرْتُ لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا. لأَنَّهُمْ وَقَفُوا، لَمْ يُجِيبُوا بَعْدُ. | 16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;) |
|
| 17 فَأُجِيبُ أَنَا أَيْضًا حِصَّتِي، وَأُبْدِي أَنَا أَيْضًا رَأْيِيِ. | 17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion. |
|
| 18 لأَنِّي مَلآنٌ أَقْوَالاً. رُوحُ بَاطِنِي تُضَايِقُنِي. | 18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. |
|
| 19 هُوَذَا بَطْنِي كَخَمْرٍ لَمْ تُفْتَحْ. كَالزِّقَاقِ الْجَدِيدَةِ يَكَادُ يَنْشَقُّ. | 19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles. |
|
| 20 أَتَكَلَّمُ فَأُفْرَجُ. أَفْتَحُ شَفَتَيَّ وَأُجِيبُ. | 20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. |
|
| 21 لاَ أُحَابِيَنَّ وَجْهَ رَجُل وَلاَ أَمْلُثُ إِنْسَانًا. | 21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. |
|
| 22 لأَنِّي لاَ أَعْرِفُ الْمَلْثَ. لأَنَّهُ عَنْ قَلِيل يَأْخُذُنِي صَانِعِي. | 22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away. |
