Job 14

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 a human being, born of woman, whose life is short but ful of trouble.	1 الانسان مولود المرأة قليل الايام وشبعان تعبا.
2 Like a flower, such a one blossoms and withers, fleeting as a shadow, transient.	2 يخرج كالزهر ثم ينحسم ويبرح كالظل ولا يقف.
3 And this is the creature on whom you fix your gaze, and bring to judgement before you!	3 فعلى مثل هذا حدقت عينيك واياي احضرت الى المحاكمة معك.
4 But will anyone produce the pure from what is impure? No one can!	4 من يخرج الطاهر من النجس. لا احد.
5 Since his days are measured out, since his tale of months depends on you, since you assign himbounds he cannot pass,	5 ان كانت ايامه محدودة وعدد اشهره عندك وقد عينت اجله فلا يتجاوزه
6 turn your eyes from him, leave him alone, like a hired labourer, to finish his day in peace.	6 فاقصر عنه ليسترح الى ان يسرّ كالاجير بانتهاء يومه
7 There is always hope for a tree: when fel ed, it can start its life again; its shoots continue to sprout.	7 لان للشجرة رجاء. ان قطعت تخلف ايضا ولا تعدم خراعيبها.
8 Its roots may have grown old in the earth, its stump rotting in the ground,	8 ولو قدم في الارض اصلها ومات في التراب جذعها
9 but let it scent the water, and it buds, and puts out branches like a plant newly set.	9 فمن رائحة الماء تفرخ وتنبت فروعا كالغرس.
10 But a human being? He dies, and dead he remains, breathes his last, and then where is he?	10 اما الرجل فيموت ويبلى. الانسان يسلم الروح فاين هو.
11 The waters of the sea wil vanish, the rivers stop flowing and run dry:	11 قد تنفد المياه من البحرة والنهر ينشف ويجف
12 a human being, once laid to rest, will never rise again, the heavens wil wear out before he wakes up,or before he is roused from his sleep.	12 والانسان يضطجع ولا يقوم. لا يستيقظون حتى لا تبقى السموات ولا ينتبهون من نومهم
13 Will no one hide me in Sheol, and shelter me there til your anger is past, fixing a certain day forcal ing me to mind-	13 ليتك تواريني في الهاوية وتخفيني الى ان ينصرف غضبك وتعيّن لي اجلا فتذكرني.
14 can the dead come back to life? - day after day of my service, I should be waiting for my relief tocome.	14 ان مات رجل أفيحيا. كل ايام جهادي اصبر الى ان يأتي بدلي.
15 Then you would cal , and I should answer, you would want to see once more what you have made.	15 تدعو فانا اجيبك. تشتاق الى عمل يدك.
16 Whereas now you count every step I take, you would then stop spying on my sin;	16 اما الآن فتحصي خطواتي. ألا تحافظ على خطيتي.
17 you would seal up my crime in a bag, and put a cover over my fault.	17 معصيتي مختوم عليها في صرّة وتلفّق عليّ فوق اثمي
18 Alas! Just as, eventual y, the mountain fal s down, the rock moves from its place,	18 ان الجبل الساقط ينتثر والصخر يزحزح من مكانه.
19 water wears away the stones, the cloudburst erodes the soil; so you destroy whatever hope a personhas.	19 الحجارة تبليها المياه وتجرف سيولها تراب الارض. وكذلك انت تبيد رجاء الانسان.
20 You crush him once for al , and he is gone; first you disfigure him, then you dismiss him.	20 تتجبر عليه ابدا فيذهب. تغير وجهه وتطرده.
21 His children may rise to honours -- he does not know it; they may come down in the world -- he doesnot care.	21 يكرم بنوه ولا يعلم او يصغرون ولا يفهم بهم.
22 He feels no pangs, except for his own body, makes no lament, except for his own self.	22 انما على ذاته يتوجع لحمه وعلى ذاتها تنوح نفسه
