Job 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:	1 فاجاب اليفاز التيماني وقال
2 If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?	2 ان امتحن احد كلمة معك فهل تستاء. ولكن من يستطيع الامتناع عن الكلام.
3 Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:	3 ها انت قد ارشدت كثيرين وشددت ايادي مرتخية.
4 Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:	4 قد اقام كلامك العاثر وثبت الركب المرتعشة.
5 But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.	5 والآن اذ جاء عليك ضجرت. اذ مسّك ارتعت.
6 Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?	6 أليست تقواك هي معتمدك ورجاؤك كمال طرقك.
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?	7 اذكر من هلك وهو بري واين أبيد المستقيمون.
8 On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,	8 كما قد رايت ان الحارثين اثما والزارعين شقاوة يحصدونها.
9 Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.	9 بنسمة الله يبيدون وبريح انفه يفنون.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:	10 زمجرة الاسد وصوت الزئير وانياب الاشبال تكسرت.
11 The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.	11 الليث هالك لعدم الفريسة واشبال اللبوة تبددت
12 Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.	12 ثم اليّ تسللت كلمة فقبلت اذني منها ركزا.
13 In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,	13 في الهواجس من رؤى الليل عند وقوع سبات على الناس
14 Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:	14 اصابني رعب ورعدة فرجفت كل عظامي.
15 And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.	15 فمرّت روح على وجهي. اقشعر شعر جسدي.
16 There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:	16 وقفت ولكني لم اعرف منظرها. شبه قدام عينيّ. سمعت صوتا منخفضا
17 Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?	17 أالانسان ابرّ من الله ام الرجل اطهر من خالقه.
18 Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:	18 هوذا عبيده لا يأتمنهم والى ملائكته ينسب حماقة.
19 How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?	19 فكم بالحري سكان بيوت من طين الذين اساسهم في التراب ويسحقون مثل العث.
20 From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.	20 بين الصباح والمساء يحطمون. بدون منتبه اليهم الى الابد يبيدون
21 And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.	21 أما انتزعت منهم طنبهم. يموتون بلا حكمة
