Giobbe (ايوب) 40

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجاب الرب ايوب فقال	1 Stil speaking to Job, Yahweh said:
2 هل يخاصم القدير موبّخه ام المحاجّ الله يجاوبه	2 Is Yahweh's opponent going to give way? Has God's critic thought up an answer?
3 فاجاب ايوب الرب وقال	3 Job replied to Yahweh:
4 ها انا حقير فماذا اجاوبك. وضعت يدي على فمي.	4 My words have been frivolous: what can I reply? I had better lay my hand over my mouth.
5 مرة تكلمت فلا اجيب ومرتين فلا ازيد	5 I have spoken once, I shal not speak again; I have spoken twice, I have nothing more to say.
6 فاجاب الرب ايوب من العاصفة فقال	6 Yahweh gave Job his answer from the heart of the tempest. He said:
7 الآن شدّ حقويك كرجل. اسألك فتعلمني.	7 Brace yourself like a fighter, I am going to ask the questions, and you are to inform me!
8 لعلك تناقض حكمي. تستذنبني لكي تتبرر انت.	8 Do you real y want to reverse my judgement, put me in the wrong and yourself in the right?
9 هل لك ذراع كما لله وبصوت مثل صوته ترعد.	9 Has your arm the strength of God's, can your voice thunder as loud?
10 تزيّن الآن بالجلال والعزّ والبس المجد والبهاء.	10 Come on, display your majesty and grandeur, robe yourself in splendour and glory.
11 فرّق فيض غضبك وانظر كل متعظم واخفضه.	11 Let the fury of your anger burst forth, humble the haughty at a glance!
12 انظر الى كل متعظم وذلّله ودس الاشرار في مكانهم.	12 At a glance, bring down al the proud, strike down the wicked where they stand.
13 اطمرهم في التراب معا واحبس وجوههم في الظلام.	13 Bury the lot of them in the ground, shut them, every one, in the Dungeon.
14 فانا ايضا احمدك لان يمينك تخلصك	14 And I shal be the first to pay you homage, since your own right hand is strong enough to save you.
15 هوذا بهيموث الذي صنعته معك. ياكل العشب مثل البقر.	15 But look at Behemoth, my creature, just as you are! He feeds on greenstuff like the ox,
16 ها هي قوته في متنيه وشدته في عضل بطنه.	16 but what strength he has in his loins, what power in his stomach muscles!
17 يخفض ذنبه كارزة. عروق فخذيه مضفورة.	17 His tail is as stiff as a cedar, the sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
18 عظامه انابيب نحاس. جرمها حديد ممطول.	18 His bones are bronze tubes, his frame like forged iron.
19 هو اول اعمال الله. الذي صنعه اعطاه سيفه.	19 He is the first of the works of God. His Maker threatened him with the sword,
20 لان الجبال تخرج له مرعى وجميع وحوش البر تلعب هناك.	20 forbidding him the mountain regions and al the wild animals that play there.
21 تحت السدرات يضطجع في ستر القصب والغمقة.	21 Under the lotus he lies, he hides among the reeds in the swamps.
22 تظلله السدرات بظلها. يحيط به صفصاف السواقي.	22 The leaves of the lotus give him shade, the willows by the stream shelter him.
23 هوذا النهر يفيض فلا يفر هو. يطمئن ولو اندفق الاردن في فمه.	23 If the river overflows, he does not worry: Jordan might come up to his mouth, but he would not care.
24 هل يؤخذ من امامه. هل يثقب انفه بخزامة	24 Who is going to catch him by the eyes or put poles through his nose?
	25 Leviathan, too! Can you catch him with a fish-hook or hold his tongue down with a rope?
	26 Can you put a cane through his nostrils or pierce his jaw with a hook?
	27 Will he plead lengthily with you, addressing you in diffident tones?
	28 Will he strike a bargain with you to become your slave for life?
	29 Will you make a pet of him, like a bird, keep him on a lead to amuse your little girls?
	30 Is he to be sold by the fishing guild and then retailed by merchants?
	31 Riddle his hide with darts? Or his head with fishing spears?
	32 You have only to lay a finger on him never to forget the struggle or risk it again!
