SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
1 فلهذا اضطرب قلبي وخفق من موضعه.1 At this, my very heart quakes and leaps out of its place.
2 اسمعوا سماعا رعد صوته والزمزمة الخارجة من فيه.2 Listen, oh listen, to the blast of his voice and the sound that issues from his mouth.
3 تحت كل السموات يطلقها كذا نوره الى اكناف الارض.3 His lightning is hurled across the heaven, it strikes to the extremities of earth.
4 بعد يزمجر صوت يرعد بصوت جلاله ولا يؤخرها اذ سمع صوته.4 After it comes a roaring sound, God thunders with majestic voice. He does not check his thunderboltsuntil his voice resounds no more.
5 الله يرعد بصوته عجبا. يصنع عظائم لا ندركها.5 Yes, certainly God shows us marvels and does great deeds that we cannot understand.
6 لانه يقول للثلج اسقط على الارض. كذا لوابل المطر وابل امطار عزه.6 When he says to the snow, 'Fal on the earth!' to the showers, 'Now rain hard!'
7 يختم على يد كل انسان ليعلم كل الناس خالقهم.7 he brings al human activity to a standstil , for everyone to acknowledge his work.
8 فتدخل الحيوانات المآوي وتستقر في اوجرتها.8 The animals go back to their dens and take shelter in their lairs.
9 من الجنوب تأتي الاعصار ومن الشمال البرد.9 The storm wind comes from the Mansion of the South, and the north winds usher in the cold.
10 من نسمة الله يجعل الجمد وتتضيق سعة المياه.10 At the breath of God, ice comes next, the surface of the waters hardens over.
11 ايضا بريّ يطرح الغيم. يبدد سحاب نوره.11 He weighs the clouds down with moisture, and the storm clouds radiate his lightning.
12 فهي مدورة متقلبة بادارته لتفعل كل ما يأمر به على وجه الارض المسكونة12 He himself guides their wheeling motion presiding over their seasonal changes. They carry out hisorders to the letter al over this earthly world.
13 سواء كان للتأديب او لارضه او للرحمة يرسلها13 Whether to punish earth's peoples or as a work of faithful love, he despatches them.
14 انصت الى هذا يا ايوب وقف وتأمل بعجائب الله.14 Listen to this, Job, without flinching and reflect on the marvel ous works of God.
15 أتدرك انتباه الله اليها او اضاءة نور سحابه.15 Do you know how God controls them or how his clouds make the lightning flash?
16 أتدرك موازنة السحاب معجزات الكامل المعارف.16 Do you know how he balances the clouds -- a miracle of consummate skil ?
17 كيف تسخن ثيابك اذا سكنت الارض من ريح الجنوب.17 When your clothes are hot to your body and the earth lies stil under the south wind,
18 هل صفّحت معه الجلد الممكّن كالمرآة المسبوكة.18 can you, like him, stretch out the sky, tempered like a mirror of cast metal?
19 علّمنا ما نقول له اننا لا نحسن الكلام بسبب الظلمة.19 Teach me what we should say to him: but better discuss no further, since we are in the dark.
20 هل يقص عليه كلامي اذا تكلمت. هل ينطق الانسان لكي يبتلع.20 Does he take note when I speak? When human beings give orders, does he take it in?
21 والآن لا يرى النور الباهر الذي هو في الجلد ثم تعبر الريح فتنقّيه.21 There are times when the light vanishes, behind darkening clouds; then comes the wind, sweepingthem away.
22 من الشمال يأتي ذهب. عند الله جلال مرهب.22 and brightness spreads from the north. God is clothed in fearful splendour:
23 القدير لا ندركه. عظيم القوة والحق وكثير البر. لا يجاوب.23 he, Shaddai, is far beyond our reach. Supreme in power, in equity, excel ing in saving justice, yet nooppressor-
24 لذلك فلتخفه الناس. كل حكيم القلب لا يراعي24 no wonder then that people fear him: everyone thoughtful holds him in awe!
