Job 40

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The LORD then said to Job:	1 فاجاب الرب ايوب فقال
2 Will we have arguing with the Almighty by the critic? Let him who would correct God give answer!	2 هل يخاصم القدير موبّخه ام المحاجّ الله يجاوبه
3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:	3 فاجاب ايوب الرب وقال
4 Behold, I am of little account; what can I answer you? I put my hand over my mouth.	4 ها انا حقير فماذا اجاوبك. وضعت يدي على فمي.
5 Though I have spoken once, I will not do so again; though twice, I will do so no more.	5 مرة تكلمت فلا اجيب ومرتين فلا ازيد
6 Then the LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said:	6 فاجاب الرب ايوب من العاصفة فقال
7 Gird up your loins now, like a man. I will question you, and you tell me the answers!	7 الآن شدّ حقويك كرجل. اسألك فتعلمني.
8 Would you refuse to acknowledge my right? Would you condemn me that you may be justified?	8 لعلك تناقض حكمي. تستذنبني لكي تتبرر انت.
9 Have you an arm like that of God, or can you thunder with a voice like his?	9 هل لك ذراع كما لله وبصوت مثل صوته ترعد.
10 Adorn yourself with grandeur and majesty, and array yourself with glory and splendor.	10 تزيّن الآن بالجلال والعزّ والبس المجد والبهاء.
11 Let loose the fury of your wrath;	11 فرّق فيض غضبك وانظر كل متعظم واخفضه.
12 tear down the wicked and shatter them. Bring down the haughty with a glance;	12 انظر الى كل متعظم وذلّله ودس الاشرار في مكانهم.
13 bury them in the dust together; in the hidden world imprison them.	13 اطمرهم في التراب معا واحبس وجوههم في الظلام.
14 Then will I too acknowledge that your own right hand can save you.	14 فانا ايضا احمدك لان يمينك تخلصك
15 See, besides you I made Behemoth, that feeds on grass like an ox.	15 هوذا بهيموث الذي صنعته معك. ياكل العشب مثل البقر.
16 Behold the strength in his loins, and his vigor in the sinews of his belly.	16 ها هي قوته في متنيه وشدته في عضل بطنه.
17 He carries his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are like cables.	17 يخفض ذنبه كارزة. عروق فخذيه مضفورة.
18 His bones are like tubes of bronze; his frame is like iron rods.	18 عظامه انابيب نحاس. جرمها حديد ممطول.
19 He came at the beginning of God's ways, and was made the taskmaster of his fellows;	19 هو اول اعمال الله. الذي صنعه اعطاه سيفه.
20 For the produce of the mountains is brought to him, and of all wild animals he makes sport.	20 لان الجبال تخرج له مرعى وجميع وحوش البر تلعب هناك.
21 Under the lotus trees he lies, in coverts of the reedy swamp.	21 تحت السدرات يضطجع في ستر القصب والغمقة.
22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade; all about him are the poplars on the bank.	22 تظلله السدرات بظلها. يحيط به صفصاف السواقي.
23 If the river grows violent, he is not disturbed; he is tranquil though the torrent surges about his mouth.	23 هوذا النهر يفيض فلا يفر هو. يطمئن ولو اندفق الاردن في فمه.
24 Who can capture him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a trap?	24 هل يؤخذ من امامه. هل يثقب انفه بخزامة
25 Can you lead about Leviathan with a hook, or curb his tongue with a bit?
26 Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce through his cheek with a gaff?
27 Will he then plead with you, time after time, or address you with tender words?
28 Will he make an agreement with you that you may have him as a slave forever?
29 Can you play with him, as with a bird? Can you put him in leash for your maidens?
30 Will the traders bargain for him? Will the merchants divide him up?
31 Can you fill his hide with barbs, or his head with fish spears?
32 Once you but lay a hand upon him, no need to recall any other conflict!
