أيوب يتكلم | |
| 1 بَعْدَ هذَا فَتَحَ أَيُّوبُ فَاهُ وَسَبَّ يَوْمَهُ، | 1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 وَأَخَذَ أَيُّوبُ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ: | 2 And Job spake, and said, |
|
| 3 «لَيْتَهُ هَلَكَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَاللَّيْلُ الَّذِي قَالَ: قَدْ حُبِلَ بِرَجُل. | 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
|
| 4 لِيَكُنْ ذلِكَ الْيَوْمُ ظَلاَمًا. لاَ يَعْتَنِ بِهِ اللهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلاَ يُشْرِقْ عَلَيْهِ نَهَارٌ. | 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
|
| 5 لِيَمْلِكْهُ الظَّلاَمُ وَظِلُّ الْمَوْتِ. لِيَحُلَّ عَلَيْهِ سَحَابٌ. لِتَرْعَبْهُ كَاسِفَاتُ النَّهَارِ. | 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
|
6 أَمَّا ذلِكَ اللَّيْلُ فَلْيُمْسِكْهُ الدُّجَى، وَلاَ يَفْرَحْ بَيْنَ أَيَّامِ السَّنَةِ، وَلاَ يَدْخُلَنَّ فِي عَدَدِ الشُّهُورِ.  | 6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. |
|
| 7 هُوَذَا ذلِكَ اللَّيْلُ لِيَكُنْ عَاقِرًا، لاَ يُسْمَعْ فِيهِ هُتَافٌ. | 7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. |
|
| 8 لِيَلْعَنْهُ لاَعِنُو الْيَوْمِ الْمُسْتَعِدُّونَ لإِيقَاظِ التِّنِّينِ. | 8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. |
|
| 9 لِتُظْلِمْ نُجُومُ عِشَائِهِ. لِيَنْتَظِرِ النُّورَ وَلاَ يَكُنْ، وَلاَ يَرَ هُدُبَ الصُّبْحِ، | 9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: |
|
| 10 لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغْلِقْ أَبْوَابَ بَطْنِ أُمِّي، وَلَمْ يَسْتُرِ الشَّقَاوَةَ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ. | 10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
|
|
|
| 11 لِمَ لَمْ أَمُتْ مِنَ الرَّحِمِ؟ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْبَطْنِ، لِمَ لَمْ أُسْلِمِ الرُّوحَ؟ | 11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
|
|
|
| 12 لِمَاذَا أَعَانَتْنِي الرُّكَبُ، وَلِمَ الثُّدِيُّ حَتَّى أَرْضَعَ؟ | 12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? |
|
| 13 لأَنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ الآنَ مُضْطَجِعًا سَاكِنًا. حِينَئِذٍ كُنْتُ نِمْتُ مُسْتَرِيحًا | 13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
|
|
|
| 14 مَعَ مُلُوكٍ وَمُشِيرِي الأَرْضِ، الَّذِينَ بَنَوْا أَهْرَامًا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ، | 14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; |
|
| 15 أَوْ مَعَ رُؤَسَاءَ لَهُمْ ذَهَبٌ، الْمَالِئِينَ بُيُوتَهُمْ فِضَّةً، | 15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: |
|
| 16 أَوْ كَسِقْطٍ مَطْمُورٍ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ، كَأَجِنَّةٍ لَمْ يَرَوْا نُورًا. | 16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. |
|
| 17 هُنَاكَ يَكُفُّ الْمُنَافِقُونَ عَنِ الشَّغْبِ، وَهُنَاكَ يَسْتَرِيحُ الْمُتْعَبُون. | 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. |
|
| 18 الأَسْرَى يَطْمَئِنُّونَ جَمِيعًا، لاَ يَسْمَعُونَ صَوْتَ الْمُسَخِّرِ. | 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
|
| 19 الصَّغِيرُ كَمَا الْكَبِيرُ هُنَاكَ، وَالْعَبْدُ حُرٌّ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. | 19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
|
| 20 «لِمَ يُعْطَى لِشَقِيٍّ نُورٌ، وَحَيَاةٌ لِمُرِّي النَّفْسِ؟ | 20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; |
|
|
|
|
|
| 21 الَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْمَوْتَ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ، وَيَحْفُرُونَ عَلَيْهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْكُنُوزِ، | 21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
|
| 22 الْمَسْرُورِينَ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْتَهِجُوا، الْفَرِحِينَ عِنْدَمَا يَجِدُونَ قَبْرًا! | 22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? |
|
| 23 لِرَجُل قَدْ خَفِيَ عَلَيْهِ طَرِيقُهُ، وَقَدْ سَيَّجَ اللهُ حَوْلَهُ. | 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
|
| 24 لأَنَّهُ مِثْلَ خُبْزِي يَأْتِي أَنِينِي، وَمِثْلَ الْمِيَاهِ تَنْسَكِبُ زَفْرَتِي، | 24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. |
|
|
| 25 لأَنِّي ارْتِعَابًا ارْتَعَبْتُ فَأَتَانِي، وَالَّذِي فَزِعْتُ مِنْهُ جَاءَ عَلَيَّ. | 25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
|
| 26 لَمْ أَطْمَئِنَّ وَلَمْ أَسْكُنْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَرِحْ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ الرُّجزُ». | 26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
