Job 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Job, answering, said:	1 فاجاب ايوب وقال
2 Are you, therefore, alone among men, and will wisdom die with you?	2 صحيح انكم انتم شعب ومعكم تموت الحكمة.
3 And I have a heart just as you also do, and I am not inferior to you. For who is ignorant of these things, which you know?	3 غير انه لي فهم مثلكم. لست انا دونكم. ومن ليس عنده مثل هذه.
4 He who is mocked by his friends as I am, will call upon God, and he will listen to him because it is the sincerity of the just that is being mocked.	4 رجلا سخرة لصاحبه صرت. دعا الله فاستجابه. سخرة هو الصديق الكامل.
5 The lamp that is despised in the thoughts of the rich is ready for the appointed time.	5 للمبتلي هوان في افكار المطمئن مهيّا لمن زلت قدمه.
6 The tabernacles of robbers are numerous, and they provoke God boldly; whereas, it is he who has given all things into their hands.	6 خيام المخربين مستريحة والذين يغيظون الله مطمئنون الذين ياتون بالههم في يدهم
7 In truth, ask the mules, and they will teach you, and the birds of the sky, and they will reveal to you.	7 فاسأل البهائم فتعلمك وطيور السماء فتخبرك.
8 Speak with the earth, and it will respond to you, and the fish of the sea will explain.	8 او كلم الارض فتعلمك ويحدثك سمك البحر.
9 Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord has made all these things?	9 من لا يعلم من كل هؤلاء ان يد الرب صنعت هذا.
10 In his hand is the soul of all the living and the spirit of all the flesh of mankind.	10 الذي بيده نفس كل حيّ وروح كل البشر.
11 Does not the ear perceive words, and the palate, when eating, perceive flavor?	11 أفليست الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يستطعم طعامه.
12 In old age is wisdom, and in length of days is prudence.	12 عند الشيب حكمة وطول الايام فهم
13 With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding.	13 عنده الحكمة والقدرة. له المشورة والفطنة
14 If he tears down, there is no one who can build up; if he encloses a man, there is no one who can open.	14 هوذا يهدم فلا يبنى. يغلق على انسان فلا يفتح.
15 If he restrains the waters, everything will dry up; and if he sends them forth, they will subdue the land.	15 يمنع المياه فتيبس . ‎ يطلقها فتقلب الارض.
16 With him is strength and wisdom; he knows both the deceiver and he who is deceived.	16 عنده العزّ والفهم . ‎ له المضل والمضل.
17 He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity.	17 يذهب بالمشيرين اسرى ويحمق القضاة.
18 He removes the belt of kings and encircles their waist with a rope.	18 يحل مناطق الملوك ويشد احقاءهم بوثاق.
19 He leads away priests in dishonor and displaces nobles,	19 يذهب بالكهنة اسرى ويقلب الاقوياء.
20 altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged.	20 يقطع كلام الامناء وينزع ذوق الشيوخ.
21 He pours distain upon the leaders, relieving those who had been oppressed.	21 يلقي هوانا على الشرفاء ويرخي منطقة الاشداء.
22 He reveals the depths of the darkness, and he brings the shadow of death into the light.	22 يكشف العمائق من الظلام ويخرج ظل الموت الى النور.
23 He multiplies peoples, and destroys them, and, having been overthrown, he restores them anew.	23 يكثر الامم ثم يبيدها. يوسع للامم ثم يجليها.
24 He transforms the heart of the leaders of the people on earth, and misleads those who in vain advance upon the inviolable.	24 ينزع عقول رؤساء شعب الارض ويضلهم في تيه بلا طريق.
25 They will grope as in the darkness, not the light, and he will make them stagger like drunkards.	25 يتلمسون في الظلام وليس نور ويرنحهم مثل السكران
