< أَيُّوبَ 40 >
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ فَقَالَ: | ١ 1 |
And the Lord continued, and he said to Job:
«هَلْ يُخَاصِمُ ٱلْقَدِيرَ مُوَبِّخُهُ، أَمِ ٱلْمُحَاجُّ ٱللهَ يُجَاوِبُهُ؟». | ٢ 2 |
Will he who contends with God be so easily silenced? Certainly, he who argues with God must also respond to him.
فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ ٱلرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: | ٣ 3 |
Then Job answered the Lord, saying:
«هَا أَنَا حَقِيرٌ، فَمَاذَا أُجَاوِبُكَ؟ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى فَمِي. | ٤ 4 |
What could I possibly answer, since I have been speaking thoughtlessly? I will place my hand over my mouth.
مَرَّةً تَكَلَّمْتُ فَلَا أُجِيبُ، وَمَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَا أَزِيدُ». | ٥ 5 |
One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said; and another, to which I will add no more.
فَأَجَابَ ٱلرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ مِنَ ٱلْعَاصِفَةِ فَقَالَ: | ٦ 6 |
But the Lord, answering Job out of the whirlwind, said:
«ٱلْآنَ شُدَّ حَقْوَيْكَ كَرَجُلٍ. أَسْأَلُكَ فَتُعْلِمُنِي. | ٧ 7 |
Gird your waist like a man. I will question you, and you must answer me.
لَعَلَّكَ تُنَاقِضُ حُكْمِي، تَسْتَذْنِبُنِي لِكَيْ تَتَبَرَّرَ أَنْتَ؟ | ٨ 8 |
Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified?
هَلْ لَكَ ذِرَاعٌ كَمَا لِلهِ، وَبِصَوْتٍ مِثْلِ صَوْتِهِ تُرْعِدُ؟ | ٩ 9 |
And do you have an arm like God, or a voice like thunder?
تَزَيَّنِ ٱلْآنَ بِٱلْجَلَالِ وَٱلْعِزِّ، وَٱلْبَسِ ٱلْمَجْدَ وَٱلْبَهَاءَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Envelop yourself with splendor, and raise yourself up on high, and be glorious, and put on splendid garments.
فَرِّقْ فَيْضَ غَضَبِكَ، وَٱنْظُرْ كُلَّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَٱخْفِضْهُ. | ١١ 11 |
Scatter the arrogant with your wrath, and, when you see all the arrogant, humble them.
اُنْظُرْ إِلَى كُلِّ مُتَعَظِّمٍ وَذَلِّلْهُ، وَدُسِ ٱلْأَشْرَارَ فِي مَكَانِهِمِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Look down upon each of the arrogant and confound them, and crush the impious in their place.
ٱطْمِرْهُمْ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ مَعًا، وَٱحْبِسْ وُجُوهَهُمْ فِي ٱلظَّلَامِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Hide them in the dust together and plunge their faces into the pit.
فَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَحْمَدُكَ لِأَنَّ يَمِينَكَ تُخَلِّصُكَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Then I will confess that your right hand is able to save you.
«هُوَذَا بَهِيمُوثُ ٱلَّذِي صَنَعْتُهُ مَعَكَ يَأْكُلُ ٱلْعُشْبَ مِثْلَ ٱلْبَقَرِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, the behemoth, whom I created along with you, eats hay like an ox.
هَا هِيَ قُوَّتُهُ فِي مَتْنَيْهِ، وَشِدَّتُهُ فِي عَضَلِ بَطْنِهِ. | ١٦ 16 |
His strength is in his lower back, and his power is in the center of his abdomen.
يَخْفِضُ ذَنَبَهُ كَأَرْزَةٍ. عُرُوقُ فَخِذَيْهِ مَضْفُورَةٌ. | ١٧ 17 |
He draws up his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs have been drawn together.
عِظَامُهُ أَنَابِيبُ نُحَاسٍ، جِرْمُهَا حَدِيدٌ مَمْطُولٌ. | ١٨ 18 |
His bones are like pipes of brass; his cartilage is like plates of iron.
هُوَ أَوَّلُ أَعْمَالِ ٱللهِ. ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَهُ أَعْطَاهُ سَيْفَهُ. | ١٩ 19 |
He is the beginning of the ways of God, who made him; he will use him as his sword.
لِأَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تُخْرِجُ لَهُ مَرْعًى، وَجَمِيعَ وُحُوشِ ٱلْبَرِّ تَلْعَبُ هُنَاكَ. | ٢٠ 20 |
The mountains bring forth grass for him; all the beasts of the field will play there.
تَحْتَ ٱلسِّدْرَاتِ يَضْطَجِعُ فِي سِتْرِ ٱلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْغَمِقَةِ. | ٢١ 21 |
He sleeps in the shadows, under the cover of branches, and in moist places.
تُظَلِّلُهُ ٱلسِّدْرَاتُ بِظِلِّهَا. يُحِيطُ بِهِ صَفْصَافُ ٱلسَّوَاقِي. | ٢٢ 22 |
The shadows cover his shadow; the willows of the brook will encircle him.
هُوَذَا ٱلنَّهْرُ يَفِيضُ فَلَا يَفِرُّ هُوَ. يَطْمَئِنُّ وَلَوِ ٱنْدَفَقَ ٱلْأُرْدُنُّ فِي فَمِهِ. | ٢٣ 23 |
Behold, he will drink a river and not be amazed, and he has confidence that the Jordan could flow into his mouth.
هَلْ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَمَامِهِ؟ هَلْ يُثْقَبُ أَنْفُهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ؟ | ٢٤ 24 |
He will seize him through his eyes, as if with a hook, and he will bore through his nostrils, as if with stakes.
