Giobbe (ايوب) 8

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