Job 4

NEW JERUSALEM	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Eliphaz of Teman spoke next. He said:	1 فاجاب اليفاز التيماني وقال
2 If we say something to you, wil you bear with us? Who in any case could refrain from speaking now?	2 ان امتحن احد كلمة معك فهل تستاء. ولكن من يستطيع الامتناع عن الكلام.
3 You have schooled many others, giving strength to feeble hands;	3 ها انت قد ارشدت كثيرين وشددت ايادي مرتخية.
4 your words supported any who wavered and strengthened every failing knee.	4 قد اقام كلامك العاثر وثبت الركب المرتعشة.
5 And now your turn has come, and you lose patience, at the first touch on yourself you are overwhelmed!	5 والآن اذ جاء عليك ضجرت. اذ مسّك ارتعت.
6 Does not your piety give you confidence, and your integrity of life give you hope?	6 أليست تقواك هي معتمدك ورجاؤك كمال طرقك.
7 Can you recal anyone guiltless that perished? Where then have the honest been wiped out?	7 اذكر من هلك وهو بري واين أبيد المستقيمون.
8 I speak from experience: those who plough iniquity and sow disaster, reap just that.	8 كما قد رايت ان الحارثين اثما والزارعين شقاوة يحصدونها.
9 Under the breath of God, they perish: a blast of his anger, and they are destroyed;	9 بنسمة الله يبيدون وبريح انفه يفنون.
10 the lion's roars, his savage growls, like the fangs of a lion cub, are broken off.	10 زمجرة الاسد وصوت الزئير وانياب الاشبال تكسرت.
11 The lion dies for lack of prey and the lioness's whelps are dispersed.	11 الليث هالك لعدم الفريسة واشبال اللبوة تبددت
12 I have received a secret revelation, a whisper has come to my ears;	12 ثم اليّ تسللت كلمة فقبلت اذني منها ركزا.
13 by night when dreams confuse the mind and slumber lies heavy on everyone,	13 في الهواجس من رؤى الليل عند وقوع سبات على الناس
14 a shiver of horror ran through me and fil ed al my bones with fright.	14 اصابني رعب ورعدة فرجفت كل عظامي.
15 A breath slid over my face, the hairs of my body bristled.	15 فمرّت روح على وجهي. اقشعر شعر جسدي.
16 Someone stood there -- I did not know his face, but the form stayed there before my eyes. Silence --then I heard a voice,	16 وقفت ولكني لم اعرف منظرها. شبه قدام عينيّ. سمعت صوتا منخفضا
17 'Can a mortal seem upright to God, would anybody seem pure in the presence of his Maker?	17 أالانسان ابرّ من الله ام الرجل اطهر من خالقه.
18 God cannot rely even on his own servants, even with his angels he finds fault.	18 هوذا عبيده لا يأتمنهم والى ملائكته ينسب حماقة.
19 What then of those who live in houses of clay, who are founded on dust?	19 فكم بالحري سكان بيوت من طين الذين اساسهم في التراب ويسحقون مثل العث.
20 They are crushed as easily as a moth, between morning and evening they are ground to powder. Theyvanish for ever, with no one to bring them back.	20 بين الصباح والمساء يحطمون. بدون منتبه اليهم الى الابد يبيدون
21 Their tent-peg is snatched from them, and they die devoid of wisdom.'	21 أما انتزعت منهم طنبهم. يموتون بلا حكمة
