Giobbe (ايوب) 23

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فاجاب ايوب وقال	1 Again Job answered and said:
2 اليوم ايضا شكواي تمرد. ضربتي اثقل من تنهدي.	2 Though I know my complaint is bitter, his hand is heavy upon me in my groanings.
3 من يعطيني ان اجده فآتي الى كرسيه.	3 Oh, that today I might find him, that I might come to his judgment seat!
4 احسن الدعوى امامه واملأ فمي حججا.	4 I would set out my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;
5 فاعرف الاقوال التي بها يجيبني وافهم ما يقوله لي.	5 I would learn the words with which he would answer, and understand what he would reply to me.
6 أبكثرة قوة يخاصمني. كلا. ولكنه كان ينتبه اليّ.	6 Even should he contend against me with his great power, yet, would that he himself might heed me!
7 هنالك كان يحاجه المستقيم وكنت انجو الى الابد من قاضيّ.	7 There the upright man might reason with him, and I should once and for all preserve my rights.
8 هانذا اذهب شرقا فليس هو هناك وغربا فلا اشعر به	8 But if I go to the east, he is not there; or to the west, I cannot perceive him;
9 شمالا حيث عمله فلا انظره. يتعطف الجنوب فلا اراه	9 Where the north enfolds him, I behold him not; by the south he is veiled, and I see him not.
10 لانه يعرف طريقي. اذا جربني اخرج كالذهب.	10 Yet he knows my way; if he proved me, I should come forth as gold.
11 بخطواته استمسكت رجلي حفظت طريقه ولم أحد.	11 My foot has always walked in his steps; his way I have kept and have not turned aside.
12 من وصية شفتيه لم ابرح. اكثر من فريضتي ذخرت كلام فيه.	12 From the commands of his lips I have not departed; the words of his mouth I have treasured in my heart.
13 اما هو فوحده فمن يردّه. ونفسه تشتهي فيفعل.	13 But he had decided, and who can say him nay? What he desires, that he does.
14 لانه يتمم المفروض عليّ وكثير مثل هذه عنده.	14 For he will carry out what is appointed for me; and many such things may yet be in his mind.
15 من اجل ذلك ارتاع قدامه. اتأمل فارتعب منه.	15 Therefore am I dismayed before him; when I take thought, I fear him.
16 لان الله قد اضعف قلبي والقدير روّعني.	16 Indeed God has made my courage fail; the Almighty has put me in dismay.
17 لاني لم أقطع قبل الظلام ومن وجهي لم يغط الدجى	17 Yes, would that I had vanished in darkness, and that thick gloom were before me to conceal me.
