Giobbe (ايوب) 13

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 هذا كله رأته عيني. سمعته اذني وفطنت به.	1 I have seen all this with my own eyes, heard with my own ears and understood.
2 ما تعرفونه عرفته انا ايضا. لست دونكم.	2 Whatever you know, I know too; I am in no way inferior to you.
3 ولكني اريد ان اكلم القدير وان أحاكم الى الله.	3 But my words are intended for Shaddai; I mean to remonstrate with God.
4 اما انتم فملفقو كذب. اطباء بطالون كلكم.	4 As for you, you are only charlatans, all worthless as doctors!
5 ليتكم تصمتون صمتا. يكون ذلك لكم حكمة.	5 Wil no one teach you to be quiet -- the only wisdom that becomes you!
6 اسمعوا الآن حجتي واصغوا الى دعاوي شفتيّ.	6 Kindly listen to my accusation and give your attention to the way I shall plead.
7 أتقولون لاجل الله ظلما وتتكلمون بغش لاجله.	7 Do you mean to defend God by prevarication and by dishonest argument,
8 أتحابون وجهه ام عن الله تخاصمون.	8 and, taking his side like this, appoint yourselves as his advocates?
9 أخير لكم ان يفحصكم ام تخاتلونه كما يخاتل الانسان.	9 How would you fare, if he were to scrutinise you? Can he be duped as mortals are duped?
10 توبيخا يوبخكم ان حابيتم الوجوه خفية.	10 He would inflict a harsh rebuke on you for your covert partiality.
11 فهلا يرهبكم جلاله ويسقط عليكم رعبه.	11 Does his majesty not affright you? Does his terror not overcome you?
12 خطبكم امثال رماد وحصونكم حصون من طين	12 Your received ideas are maxims of ash, your retorts, retorts of clay.
13 اسكتوا عني فاتكلم انا وليصبني مهما اصاب.	13 Be quiet! Kindly let me do the talking, happen to me what may.
14 لماذا آخذ لحمي باسناني واضع نفسي في كفي.	14 I am putting my flesh between my teeth, I am taking my life in my hands;
15 هوذا يقتلني. لا انتظر شيئا. فقط ازكي طريقي قدامه.	15 let him kill me if he will; I have no other hope than to justify my conduct in his eyes.
16 فهذا يعود الى خلاصي ان الفاجر لا يأتي قدامه.	16 And this is what wil save me, for the wicked would not dare to appear before him.
17 سمعا اسمعوا اقوالي وتصريحي بمسامعكم.	17 Listen careful y to my words, and pay attention to what I am going to say.
18 هانذا قد احسنت الدعوى. اعلم اني اتبرر.	18 You see, I shal proceed by form of law, knowing that I am upright.
19 من هو الذي يخاصمني حتى اصمت الآن واسلم الروح	19 Who wants to contest my case? In advance, I agree to be silenced and to die!
20 انما أمرين لا تفعل بي فحينئذ لا اختفي من حضرتك.	20 Only grant me two concessions, and then I shal not hide away from your face:
21 ابعد يديك عني ولا تدع هيبتك ترعبني	21 remove your hand, which lies so heavy on me, no longer make me cower from your terror.
22 ثم ادع فانا اجيب او اتكلم فتجاوبني.	22 Then cal me forward and I shal answer, or rather, I shall speak and you wil answer.
23 كم لي من الآثام والخطايا. اعلمني ذنبي وخطيتي.	23 How many faults and crimes have I committed? Tell me what my misdeed has been, what my sin?
24 لماذا تحجب وجهك وتحسبني عدوا لك.	24 Why do you hide your face and look on me as your enemy?
25 اترعب ورقة مندفعة وتطارد قشا يابسا.	25 Do you want to intimidate a wind-blown leaf, do you want to pursue a dry straw?
26 لانك كتبت عليّ أمورا مرّة وورثتني اثام صباي	26 You who lay bitter al egations against me and tax me with the faults of my youth
27 فجعلت رجليّ في المقطرة ولاحظت جميع مسالكي وعلى اصول رجليّ نبشت.	27 and have put my feet in the stocks; you examine my every step and measure my footprints one byone!
28 وانا كمتسوس يبلى كثوب اكله العث	28 For his part, he crumbles away like rotten wood, or like a moth-eaten garment,
