| 1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said, | 1 فاجاب اليهو وقال |
| 2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. | 2 اسمعوا اقوالي ايها الحكماء واصغوا لي ايها العارفون. |
| 3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. | 3 لان الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يذوق طعاما. |
| 4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good. | 4 لنمتحن لانفسنا الحق ونعرف بين انفسنا ما هو طيب |
| 5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. | 5 لان ايوب قال تبررت والله نزع حقي. |
| 6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression. | 6 عند محاكمتي اكذب. جرحي عديم الشفاء من دون ذنب. |
| 7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? | 7 فاي انسان كايوب يشرب الهزء كالماء |
| 8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. | 8 ويسير متحدا مع فاعلي الاثم وذاهبا مع اهل الشر. |
| 9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. | 9 لانه قال لا ينتفع الانسان بكونه مرضيا عند الله |
| 10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. | 10 لاجل ذلك اسمعوا لي يا ذوي الالباب. حاشا لله من الشر وللقدير من الظلم. |
| 11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. | 11 لانه يجازي الانسان على فعله وينيل الرجل كطريقه. |
| 12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. | 12 فحقا ان الله لا يفعل سوءا والقدير لا يعوج القضاء. |
| 13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world? | 13 من وكله بالارض ومن صنع المسكونه كلها. |
| 14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; | 14 ان جعل عليه قلبه ان جمع الى نفسه روحه ونسمته |
| 15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. | 15 يسلم الروح كل بشر جميعا ويعود الانسان الى التراب. |
| 16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. | 16 فان كان لك فهم فاسمع هذا واصغ الى صوت كلماتي. |
| 17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? | 17 ألعل من يبغض الحق يتسلط ام البار الكبير تستذنب. |
| 18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? | 18 أيقال للملك يا لئيم وللندباء يا اشرار. |
| 19 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. | 19 الذي لا يحابي بوجوه الرؤساء ولا يعتبر موسعا دون فقير. لانهم جميعهم عمل يديه. |
| 20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. | 20 بغتة يموتون وفي نصف الليل. يرتج الشعب ويزولون وينزع الاعزاء لا بيد. |
| 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. | 21 لان عينيه على طرق الانسان وهو يرى كل خطواته. |
| 22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. | 22 لا ظلام ولا ظل موت حيث تختفي عمّال الاثم. |
| 23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. | 23 لانه لا يلاحظ الانسان زمانا للدخول في المحاكمة مع الله. |
| 24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead. | 24 يحطم الاعزاء من دون فحص ويقيم آخرين مكانهم. |
| 25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. | 25 لكنه يعرف اعمالهم ويقلّبهم ليلا فينسحقون. |
| 26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others; | 26 لكونهم اشرارا يصفقهم في مرأى الناظرين. |
| 27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: | 27 لانهم انصرفوا من ورائه وكل طرقه لم يتأملوها. |
| 28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. | 28 حتى بلّغوا اليه صراخ المسكين فسمع زعقة البائسين. |
| 29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: | 29 اذا هو سكّن فمن يشغب واذا حجب وجهه فمن يراه سواء كان على امة او على انسان. |
| 30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. | 30 حتى لا يملك الفاجر ولا يكون شركا للشعب |
| 31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: | 31 ولكن هل للّه قال احتملت. لا اعود افسد. |
| 32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more. | 32 ما لم ابصره فأرنيه انت. ان كنت قد فعلت اثما فلا اعود افعله. |
| 33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. | 33 هل كرأيك يجازيه قائلا لانك رفضت فانت تختار لا انا. وبما تعرفه تكلم. |
| 34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me. | 34 ذوو الالباب يقولون لي بل الرجل الحكيم الذي يسمعني يقول |
| 35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. | 35 ان ايوب يتكلم بلا معرفة وكلامه ليس بتعقّل. |
| 36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. | 36 فليت ايوب كان يمتحن الى الغاية من اجل اجوبته كاهل الاثم. |
| 37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. | 37 لكنه اضاف الى خطيته معصية. يصفق بيننا ويكثر كلامه على الله |
