Job 15

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Eliphaz of Teman spoke next. He said:	1 فاجاب اليفاز التيماني وقال
2 Does anyone wise respond with windy arguments, or feed on an east wind?	2 ألعل الحكيم يجيب عن معرفة باطلة ويملأ بطنه من ريح شرقية.
3 Or make a defence with ineffectual words and speeches good for nothing?	3 فيحتج بكلام لا يفيد وباحاديث لا ينتفع بها.
4 You do worse: you suppress reverence, you discredit discussion before God.	4 اما انت فتنافي المخافة وتناقض التقوى لدى الله.
5 Your very fault incites you to speak like this, hence you adopt this language of cunning.	5 لان فمك يذيع اثمك وتختار لسان المحتالين.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips bear witness against you.	6 ان فمك يستذنبك لا انا وشفتاك تشهدان عليك
7 Are you the first-born of the human race, brought into the world before the hills?	7 أصوّرت اول الناس ام أبدئت قبل التلال.
8 Have you been a listener at God's council, or established a monopoly of wisdom?	8 هل تنصّت في مجلس الله او قصرت الحكمة على نفسك.
9 What knowledge do you have that we have not, what understanding that is not ours too?	9 ماذا تعرفه ولا نعرفه نحن وماذا تفهم وليس هو عندنا.
10 One of us is an old, grey-headed man loaded with more years than your father!	10 عندنا الشيخ والاشيب اكبر اياما من ابيك.
11 Can you ignore these divine consolations and the moderate tone of our words?	11 اقليلة عندك تعزيات الله والكلام معك بالرفق
12 How passion carries you away! And how you rol your eyes,	12 لماذا ياخذك قلبك ولماذا تختلج عيناك
13 when you vent your anger on God and speeches come tripping off your tongue!	13 حتى ترد على الله وتخرج من فيك اقوالا.
14 How can anyone be pure, anyone born of woman be upright?	14 من هو الانسان حتى يزكو او مولود المرأة حتى يتبرر.
15 God cannot rely even on his holy ones, to him, even the heavens seem impure.	15 هوذا قديسوه لا يأتمنهم والسموات غير طاهرة بعينيه.
16 How much more, this hateful, corrupt thing, humanity, which soaks up wickedness like water!	16 فبالحري مكروه وفاسد الانسان الشارب الاثم كالماء
17 Listen to me, I have a lesson for you: I am going to impart my own experience	17 أوحي اليك اسمع لي فاحدث بما رأيته
18 and the tradition of the sages who have remained faithful to their ancestors,	18 ما اخبر به حكماء عن آبائهم فلم يكتموه.
19 to whom alone the land was given -- no foreigner included among them.	19 الذين لهم وحدهم أعطيت الارض ولم يعبر بينهم غريب.
20 The life of the wicked is unceasing torment, the years al otted to the tyrant are numbered.	20 الشرير هو يتلوى كل ايامه وكل عدد السنين المعدودة للعاتي.
21 A cry of panic echoes in his ear; when al is peace, his destroyer swoops down on him.	21 صوت رعوب في اذنيه في ساعة سلام ياتيه المخرب.
22 No more can he count on escaping from the dark, but knows that he is destined for the sword,	22 لا يأمل الرجوع من الظلمة وهو مرتقب للسيف.
23 marked down as meat for the vulture. He knows that his ruin is at hand.	23 تائه هو لاجل الخبز حيثما يجده ويعلم ان يوم الظلمة مهيأ بين يديه.
24 The hour of darkness terrifies him, distress and anguish assail him as when a king is poised for theassault.	24 يرهبه الضر والضيق. يتجبران عليه كملك مستعد للوغى.
25 He raised his hand against God, boldly he defied Shaddai!	25 لانه مدّ على الله يده وعلى القدير تجبر
26 Head lowered, he charged him, with his massively bossed shield.	26 عاديا عليه متصلب العنق باوقاف مجانه معبأة.
27 His face had grown ful and fat, and his thighs too heavy with flesh.	27 لانه قد كسا وجهه سمنا وربى شحما على كليتيه
28 He had occupied the towns he had destroyed, with their uninhabited houses about to fal into ruins;	28 فيسكن مدنا خربة بيوتا غير مسكونة عتيدة ان تصير رجما.
29 but no great profit to him, his luck will not hold, he wil cast his shadow over the country no longer,	29 لا يستغني ولا تثبت ثروته ولا يمتد في الارض مقتناه.
30 (he wil not escape the dark). A flame wil scorch his young shoots, the wind will carry off his blossom.	30 لا تزول عنه الظلمة. خراعيبه تيبسها السموم وبنفخة فمه يزول.
31 Let him not trust in his great height or delusion will be his.	31 لا يتكل على السوء. يضل. لان السوء يكون اجرته.
32 His palm trees wil wither before their time and his branches never again be green.	32 قبل يومه يتوفى وسعفه لا يخضرّ.
33 Like the vine, he wil shake off his unripe fruit, like the olive tree, shed his blossom.	33 يساقط كالجفنة حصرمه وينثر كالزيتون زهره.
34 Yes, sterile is the spawn of the sinner, and fire consumes the tents of the venal.	34 لان جماعة الفجار عاقر والنار تأكل خيام الرشوة.
35 Whoever conceives malice, breeds disaster, bears as offspring only a false hope.	35 حبل شقاوة وولد اثما وبطنه أنشأ غشا
