Job 8

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 But Baldad the Suhite, responding, said:	1 فاجاب بلدد الشوحي وقال
2 How long will you speak this way, so that the words of your mouth are like a changeable wind?	2 الى متى تقول هذا وتكون اقوال فيك ريحا شديدة.
3 Does God supplant judgment, or does the Almighty subvert that which is just?	3 هل الله يعوّج القضاء او القدير يعكس الحق.
4 And if now your children have sinned against him, and he has dismissed them into the power of their iniquity,	4 اذ اخطأ اليه بنوك دفعهم الى يد معصيتهم.
5 even so, you should arise early to God, so as to beseech the Almighty.	5 فان بكرت انت الى الله وتضرعت الى القدير.
6 If you approach with purity and honesty, he will quickly be attentive to you, and a peaceful life will repay your righteousness,	6 ان كنت انت زكيا مستقيما فانه الآن يتنبه لك ويسلم مسكن برك.
7 so much so that, if your former things were small, your latter things would be multiplied greatly.	7 وان تكن اولاك صغيرة فآخرتك تكثر جدا
8 For inquire of the earliest generation, and investigate diligently the history of the fathers,	8 اسأل القرون الاولى وتأكد مباحث آبائهم.
9 (of course, we are but of yesterday and are ignorant that our days on earth are like a shadow,)	9 لاننا نحن من امس ولا نعلم لان ايامنا على الارض ظل.
10 and they will teach you; they will speak with you and will offer you the eloquence of their hearts.	10 فهلا يعلمونك. يقولون لك ومن قلوبهم يخرجون اقوالا قائلين
11 Can the marsh plant live without moisture? Or can sedges grow without water?	11 هل ينمي البردي في غير الغمقة او تنبت الحلفاء بلا ماء.
12 When it is still in flower, and has not been pulled up by hand, it withers before all other plants.	12 وهو بعد في نضارته لم يقطع ييبس قبل كل العشب.
13 Just so are the ways of all who forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite will perish.	13 هكذا سبل كل الناسين الله ورجاء الفاجر يخيب
14 His frenzy will not please him, and his faith will be like a spider’s web.	14 فينقطع اعتماده ومتكله بيت العنكبوت.
15 He will lean on his house, and it will not stand; he will prop it up, but it will not rise.	15 يستند الى بيته فلا يثبت. يتمسك به فلا يقوم.
16 He seems to have moisture before the sun arrives; and at sunrise, his sprout shoots forth.	16 هو رطب تجاه الشمس وعلى جنته تنبت خراعيبه.
17 His roots will crowd together over a heap of stones, and among the stones he will remain.	17 واصوله مشتبكة في الرجمة فترى محل الحجارة.
18 If someone is devoured right beside him, he will deny him and will say: “I do not know you.”	18 ان اقتلعه من مكانه يجحده قائلا ما رايتك.
19 For this is the benefit of his way, that others in turn may spring up from the earth.	19 هذا هو فرح طريقه ومن التراب ينبت آخر
20 God will not discard the simple, nor will he extend his hand to the spiteful,	20 هوذا الله لا يرفض الكامل ولا يأخذ بيد فاعلي الشر.
21 even until your mouth is filled with laughter and your lips with rejoicing.	21 عندما يملأ فاك ضحكا وشفتيك هتافا.
22 Those who hate you, will be clothed with confusion, and the tabernacle of the impious will not continue.	22 يلبس مبغضوك خزيا. اما خيمة الاشرار فلا تكون
