Job 4

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then spoke Eliphaz the Temanite, who said:	1 فاجاب اليفاز التيماني وقال
2 If someone attempts a word with you, will you mind? For how can anyone refrain from speaking?	2 ان امتحن احد كلمة معك فهل تستاء. ولكن من يستطيع الامتناع عن الكلام.
3 Behold, you have instructed many, and have made firm their feeble hands.	3 ها انت قد ارشدت كثيرين وشددت ايادي مرتخية.
4 Your words have upheld the stumbler; you have strengthened his faltering knees.	4 قد اقام كلامك العاثر وثبت الركب المرتعشة.
5 But now that it comes to you, you are impatient; when it touches yourself, you are dismayed.	5 والآن اذ جاء عليك ضجرت. اذ مسّك ارتعت.
6 Is not your piety a source of confidence, and your integrity of life your hope?	6 أليست تقواك هي معتمدك ورجاؤك كمال طرقك.
7 Reflect now, what innocent person perishes? Since when are the upright destroyed?	7 اذكر من هلك وهو بري واين أبيد المستقيمون.
8 As I see it, those who plow for mischief and sow trouble, reap the same.	8 كما قد رايت ان الحارثين اثما والزارعين شقاوة يحصدونها.
9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his wrath they are consumed.	9 بنسمة الله يبيدون وبريح انفه يفنون.
10 Though the lion roars, though the king of beasts cries out, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken;	10 زمجرة الاسد وصوت الزئير وانياب الاشبال تكسرت.
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.	11 الليث هالك لعدم الفريسة واشبال اللبوة تبددت
12 For a word was stealthily brought to me, and my ear caught a whisper of it.	12 ثم اليّ تسللت كلمة فقبلت اذني منها ركزا.
13 In my thoughts during visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,	13 في الهواجس من رؤى الليل عند وقوع سبات على الناس
14 Fear came upon me, and shuddering, that terrified me to the bones.	14 اصابني رعب ورعدة فرجفت كل عظامي.
15 Then a spirit passed before me, and the hair of my flesh stood up.	15 فمرّت روح على وجهي. اقشعر شعر جسدي.
16 It paused, but its likeness I could not discern; a figure was before my eyes, and I heard a still voice:	16 وقفت ولكني لم اعرف منظرها. شبه قدام عينيّ. سمعت صوتا منخفضا
17 "Can a man be righteous as against God? Can a mortal be blameless against his Maker?	17 أالانسان ابرّ من الله ام الرجل اطهر من خالقه.
18 Lo, he puts no trust in his servants, and with his angels he can find fault.	18 هوذا عبيده لا يأتمنهم والى ملائكته ينسب حماقة.
19 How much more with those that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed more easily than the moth!	19 فكم بالحري سكان بيوت من طين الذين اساسهم في التراب ويسحقون مثل العث.
20 Morning or evening they may be shattered; with no heed paid to it, they perish forever.	20 بين الصباح والمساء يحطمون. بدون منتبه اليهم الى الابد يبيدون
21 The pegs of their tent are plucked up; they die without knowing wisdom."	21 أما انتزعت منهم طنبهم. يموتون بلا حكمة
