Job 34

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Elihu continued his speech. He said:	1 فاجاب اليهو وقال
2 And now, you sages, listen to what I say, lend me your ears, you learned men.	2 اسمعوا اقوالي ايها الحكماء واصغوا لي ايها العارفون.
3 The ear distinguishes the value of what is said, just as the palate can tel one food from another.	3 لان الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يذوق طعاما.
4 Let us consider together God's ruling and decide what we all mean by good.	4 لنمتحن لانفسنا الحق ونعرف بين انفسنا ما هو طيب
5 Job has been saying, 'I am upright and God denies me fair judgement.	5 لان ايوب قال تبررت والله نزع حقي.
6 My judge is treating me cruel y, my wound is incurable, for no fault of mine.'	6 عند محاكمتي اكذب. جرحي عديم الشفاء من دون ذنب.
7 Can anyone else exist like Job, who laps up mockery like water,	7 فاي انسان كايوب يشرب الهزء كالماء
8 who consorts with evil-doers and marches in step with the wicked?	8 ويسير متحدا مع فاعلي الاثم وذاهبا مع اهل الشر.
9 Did he not say, 'No one derives any benefit from enjoying the society of God'?	9 لانه قال لا ينتفع الانسان بكونه مرضيا عند الله
10 Listen to me then, like intel igent people. Far be evil from God or injustice from Shaddai!	10 لاجل ذلك اسمعوا لي يا ذوي الالباب. حاشا لله من الشر وللقدير من الظلم.
11 For he pays people back for what they do, treating each as his own conduct deserves.	11 لانه يجازي الانسان على فعله وينيل الرجل كطريقه.
12 Be sure of it: God never does wrong, Shaddai does not pervert what is just.	12 فحقا ان الله لا يفعل سوءا والقدير لا يعوج القضاء.
13 Did someone else entrust the world to his care was he given charge of the universe by someoneelse?	13 من وكله بالارض ومن صنع المسكونه كلها.
14 If he were to recal his spirit, to concentrate his breath back in himself,	14 ان جعل عليه قلبه ان جمع الى نفسه روحه ونسمته
15 all flesh would instantly perish and al people would return to dust.	15 يسلم الروح كل بشر جميعا ويعود الانسان الى التراب.
16 If you have any intel igence, listen to this, lend your ear to the sound of my words.	16 فان كان لك فهم فاسمع هذا واصغ الى صوت كلماتي.
17 Could an enemy of fair judgement ever govern? Would you dare condemn the Upright One, theAlmighty,	17 ألعل من يبغض الحق يتسلط ام البار الكبير تستذنب.
18 who says to a king, 'You are a scoundrel!' and to nobles, 'You are wicked!',	18 أيقال للملك يا لئيم وللندباء يا اشرار.
19 who is unimpressed by princes and makes no distinction between rich and poor, since al alike havebeen made by him?	19 الذي لا يحابي بوجوه الرؤساء ولا يعتبر موسعا دون فقير. لانهم جميعهم عمل يديه.
20 They die suddenly, at dead of night, they perish -- these great ones -- and disappear: it costs him noeffort to remove a tyrant.	20 بغتة يموتون وفي نصف الليل. يرتج الشعب ويزولون وينزع الاعزاء لا بيد.
21 For his eyes keep watch on human ways, and he observes every step.	21 لان عينيه على طرق الانسان وهو يرى كل خطواته.
22 No darkness, no shadow dark as death where wrong-doers can hide!	22 لا ظلام ولا ظل موت حيث تختفي عمّال الاثم.
23 He serves no writ on anyone, no summons to appear before God's court:	23 لانه لا يلاحظ الانسان زمانا للدخول في المحاكمة مع الله.
24 he breaks the powerful without enquiry and sets up others in their places.	24 يحطم الاعزاء من دون فحص ويقيم آخرين مكانهم.
25 He knows the sort of things they do! He overthrows them at night, to be trampled on.	25 لكنه يعرف اعمالهم ويقلّبهم ليلا فينسحقون.
26 He beats them like criminals chained up for al to see,	26 لكونهم اشرارا يصفقهم في مرأى الناظرين.
27 since they have turned their backs on him, having understood so little of his ways	27 لانهم انصرفوا من ورائه وكل طرقه لم يتأملوها.
28 as to make the cries of the weak rise to him and let him hear the appeal of the afflicted.	28 حتى بلّغوا اليه صراخ المسكين فسمع زعقة البائسين.
29 But if he is stil silent and no one can move him, if he veils his face, so that no one can see him, he istaking pity on nations and individuals,	29 اذا هو سكّن فمن يشغب واذا حجب وجهه فمن يراه سواء كان على امة او على انسان.
30 is setting some wrong-doer free from the meshes of affliction.	30 حتى لا يملك الفاجر ولا يكون شركا للشعب
31 When such a one says to God, 'I was misled, I shal not do wrong any more;	31 ولكن هل للّه قال احتملت. لا اعود افسد.
32 although I have sinned, instruct me; although I did wrong, I will not do it again,'	32 ما لم ابصره فأرنيه انت. ان كنت قد فعلت اثما فلا اعود افعله.
33 in your opinion, should he punish such a one -- you who have rejected his decisions? This is for youto decide -- not for me!- so kindly enlighten us!	33 هل كرأيك يجازيه قائلا لانك رفضت فانت تختار لا انا. وبما تعرفه تكلم.
34 Ordinary sensible people, however, wil say to me, and so wil any sage who has been listening tome,	34 ذوو الالباب يقولون لي بل الرجل الحكيم الذي يسمعني يقول
35 'Job's words are spoken without any knowledge, what he says shows no intel igence.	35 ان ايوب يتكلم بلا معرفة وكلامه ليس بتعقّل.
36 Kindly examine him thoroughly, since his answers imply that he is a criminal.	36 فليت ايوب كان يمتحن الى الغاية من اجل اجوبته كاهل الاثم.
37 For to his sin he now adds rebellion, bringing law to an end among us and heaping abuse on God.'	37 لكنه اضاف الى خطيته معصية. يصفق بيننا ويكثر كلامه على الله
