Giobbe (ايوب) 21

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فاجاب ايوب وقال	1 Then Job said in reply:
2 اسمعوا قولي سمعا وليكن هذا تعزيتكم.	2 At least listen to my words, and let that be the consolation you offer.
3 احتملوني وانا اتكلم وبعد كلامي استهزئوا.	3 Bear with me while I speak; and after I have spoken, you can mock!
4 اما انا فهل شكواي من انسان. وان كانت فلماذا لا تضيق روحي.	4 Is my complaint toward man? And why should I not be impatient?
5 تفرسوا فيّ وتعجبوا وضعوا اليد على الفم	5 Look at me and be astonished, put your hands over your mouths.
6 عندما اتذكر ارتاع واخذت بشري رعدة.	6 When I think of it, I am dismayed, and horror takes hold on my flesh.
7 لماذا تحيا الاشرار ويشيخون نعم ويتجبّرون قوة.	7 Why do the wicked survive, grow old, become mighty in power?
8 نسلهم قائم امامهم معهم وذريتهم في اعينهم.	8 Their progeny is secure in their sight; they see before them their kinsfolk and their offspring.
9 بيوتهم آمنة من الخوف وليس عليهم عصا الله.	9 Their homes are safe and without fear, nor is the scourge of God upon them.
10 ثورهم يلقح ولا يخطئ. بقرتهم تنتج ولا تسقط.	10 Their bulls gender without fail; their cows calve and do not miscarry.
11 يسرحون مثل الغنم رضّعهم واطفالهم ترقص.	11 These folk have infants numerous as lambs, and their children dance.
12 يحملون الدف والعود ويطربون بصوت المزمار.	12 They sing to the timbrel and harp, and make merry to the sound of the flute.
13 يقضون ايامهم بالخير. في لحظة يهبطون الى الهاوية.	13 They live out their days in prosperity, and tranquilly go down to the nether world.
14 فيقولون للّه ابعد عنا. وبمعرفة طرقك لا نسرّ.	14 Yet they say to God, "Depart from us, for we have no wish to learn your ways!
15 من هو القدير حتى نعبده وماذا ننتفع ان التمسناه	15 What is the Almighty that we should serve him? And what gain shall we have if we pray to him?"
16 هوذا ليس في يدهم خيرهم. لتبعد عني مشورة الاشرار.	16 If their happiness is not in their own hands and if the counsel of the wicked is repulsive to God,
17 كم ينطفئ سراج الاشرار ويأتي عليهم بوارهم او يقسم لهم اوجاعا في غضبه	17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does destruction come upon them, the portion he allots in his anger?
18 او يكونون كالتبن قدام الريح وكالعاصفة التي تسرقها الزوبعة.	18 Let them be like straw before the wind, and like chaff which the storm snatches away!
19 الله يخزن اثمه لبنيه. ليجازه نفسه فيعلم.	19 May God not store up the man's misery for his children; let him requite the man himself so that he feels it,
20 لتنظر عيناه هلاكه ومن حمة القدير يشرب.	20 Let his own eyes see the calamity, and the wrath of the Almighty let him drink!
21 فما هي مسرّته في بيته بعده وقد تعيّن عدد شهوره	21 For what interest has he in his family after him, when the number of his months is finished?
22 أالله يعلم معرفة وهو يقضي على العالين.	22 Can anyone teach God knowledge, seeing that he judges those on high?
23 هذا يموت في عين كماله. كله مطمئن وساكن.	23 One dies in his full vigor, wholly at ease and content;
24 احواضه ملآنة لبنا ومخ عظامه طريء.	24 His figure is full and nourished, and his bones are rich in marrow.
25 وذلك يموت بنفس مرة ولم يذق خيرا.	25 Another dies in bitterness of soul, having never tasted happiness.
26 كلاهما يضطجعان معا في التراب والدود يغشاهما	26 Alike they lie down in the dust, and worms cover them both.
27 هوذا قد علمت افكاركم والنيات التي بها تظلمونني.	27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the arguments you rehearse against me.
28 لانكم تقولون اين بيت العاتي واين خيمة مساكن الاشرار.	28 For you say, "Where is the house of the magnate, and where the dwelling place of the wicked?"
29 أفلم تسالوا عابري السبيل ولم تفطنوا لدلائلهم.	29 Have you not asked the wayfarers and do you not recognize their monuments?
30 انه ليوم البوار يمسك الشرير ليوم السخط يقادون.	30 Nay, the evil man is spared calamity when it comes;
31 من يعلن طريقه لوجهه. ومن يجازيه على ما عمل.	31 Who will charge him with his conduct to his face, and for what he has done who will repay him?
32 هو الى القبور يقاد وعلى المدفن يسهر.	32 and on the day he is carried to the grave
33 حلو له مدر الوادي. يزحف كل انسان وراءه وقدامه ما لا عدد له.	33 Sweet to him are the clods of the valley, and over him the funeral mound keeps watch, While all the line of mankind follows him, and the countless others who have gone before.
34 فكيف تعزونني باطلا واجوبتكم بقيت خيانة	34 How then can you offer me vain comfort, while in your answers perfidy remains?
