1 فاجاب اليهو وقال | 1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, |
2 أتحسب هذا حقا. قلت انا ابر من الله. | 2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? |
3 لانك قلت ماذا يفيدك بماذا انتفع اكثر من خطيتي. | 3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? |
4 انا ارد عليك كلاما وعلى اصحابك معك. | 4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. |
5 انظر الى السموات وابصر ولاحظ الغمام انها اعلى منك. | 5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. |
6 ان اخطأت فماذا فعلت به وان كثرت معاصيك فماذا عملت له. | 6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
7 ان كنت بارا فماذا اعطيته او ماذا ياخذه من يدك. | 7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? |
8 لرجل مثلك شرك ولابن آدم برك | 8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. |
9 من كثرة المظالم يصرخون. يستغيثون من ذراع الاعزاء. | 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
10 ولم يقولوا اين الله صانعي مؤتي الاغاني في الليل. | 10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; |
11 الذي يعلمنا اكثر من وحوش الارض ويجعلنا احكم من طيور السماء. | 11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? |
12 ثم يصرخون من كبرياء الاشرار ولا يستجيب. | 12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. |
13 ولكن الله لا يسمع كذبا والقدير لا ينظر اليه. | 13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
14 فاذا قلت انك لست تراه فالدعوى قدامه فاصبر له. | 14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. |
15 واما الآن فلأن غضبه لا يطالب ولا يبالي بكثرة الزلات | 15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: |
16 فغر ايوب فاه بالباطل وكبر الكلام بلا معرفة | 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. |
