Job 23

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Job answered and said,	1 فاجاب ايوب وقال
2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.	2 اليوم ايضا شكواي تمرد. ضربتي اثقل من تنهدي.
3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!	3 من يعطيني ان اجده فآتي الى كرسيه.
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.	4 احسن الدعوى امامه واملأ فمي حججا.
5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.	5 فاعرف الاقوال التي بها يجيبني وافهم ما يقوله لي.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.	6 أبكثرة قوة يخاصمني. كلا. ولكنه كان ينتبه اليّ.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.	7 هنالك كان يحاجه المستقيم وكنت انجو الى الابد من قاضيّ.
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:	8 هانذا اذهب شرقا فليس هو هناك وغربا فلا اشعر به
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:	9 شمالا حيث عمله فلا انظره. يتعطف الجنوب فلا اراه
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.	10 لانه يعرف طريقي. اذا جربني اخرج كالذهب.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.	11 بخطواته استمسكت رجلي حفظت طريقه ولم أحد.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.	12 من وصية شفتيه لم ابرح. اكثر من فريضتي ذخرت كلام فيه.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.	13 اما هو فوحده فمن يردّه. ونفسه تشتهي فيفعل.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.	14 لانه يتمم المفروض عليّ وكثير مثل هذه عنده.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.	15 من اجل ذلك ارتاع قدامه. اتأمل فارتعب منه.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:	16 لان الله قد اضعف قلبي والقدير روّعني.
17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.	17 لاني لم أقطع قبل الظلام ومن وجهي لم يغط الدجى
