Giobbe (ايوب) 1

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 كان رجل في ارض عوص اسمه ايوب. وكان هذا الرجل كاملا ومستقيما يتقي الله ويحيد عن الشر.	1 There was a man in the land of Hus, whose name was Job, and that man was simple and upright, and fearing God, and avoiding evil.
2 وولد له سبعة بنين وثلاث بنات.	2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
3 وكانت مواشيه سبعة آلاف من الغنم وثلاثة آلاف جمل وخمس مئة فدان بقر وخمس مئة اتان وخدمه كثيرين جدا. فكان هذا الرجل اعظم كل بني المشرق.	3 And his possession was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a family exceeding great: and this man was great among all the people of the east.
4 وكان بنوه يذهبون ويعملون وليمة في بيت كل واحد منهم في يومه ويرسلون ويستدعون اخواتهم الثلاث ليأكلن ويشربن معهم.	4 And his sons went, and made a feast by houses every one in his day. And sending they called their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
5 وكان لما دارت ايام الوليمة ان ايوب ارسل فقدسهم وبكّر في الغد واصعد محرقات على عددهم كلهم. لان ايوب قال ربما اخطأ بنيّ وجدفوا على الله في قلوبهم. هكذا كان ايوب يفعل كل الايام	5 And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days.
6 وكان ذات يوم انه جاء بنو الله ليمثلوا امام الرب وجاء الشيطان ايضا في وسطهم.	6 Now on a certain day when the sons of God came to stand before the Lord, Satan also was present among them.
7 فقال الرب للشيطان من اين جئت. فاجاب الشيطان الرب وقال من الجولان في الارض ومن التمشي فيها.	7 And the Lord said to him: Whence comest thou ? And he answered and said: I have gone round about the earth, and walked through it.
8 فقال الرب للشيطان هل جعلت قلبك على عبدي ايوب. لانه ليس مثله في الارض. رجل كامل ومستقيم يتقي الله ويحيد عن الشر.	8 And the Lord said to him: Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a simple and upright man, and fearing God, and avoiding evil?
9 فاجاب الشيطان الرب وقال هل مجانا يتقي ايوب الله.	9 And Satan answering, said: Doth Job fear God in vain ?
10 أليس انك سيّجت حوله وحول بيته وحول كل ما له من كل ناحية. باركت اعمال يديه فانتشرت مواشيه في الارض.	10 Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth ?
11 ولكن ابسط يدك الآن ومس كل ما له فانه في وجهك يجدف عليك.	11 But stretch forth thy hand a little, and touch all that he hath, and see if he blesseth thee not to thy face.
12 فقال الرب للشيطان هوذا كل ما له في يدك. وانما اليه لا تمد يدك. ثم خرج الشيطان من امام وجه الرب	12 Then the Lord said to Satan: Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand: only put not forth thy hand upon his person. And Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
13 وكان ذات يوم وابناؤه وبناته ياكلون ويشربون خمرا في بيت اخيهم الاكبر	13 Now upon a certain day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their eldest brother,
14 ان رسولا جاء الى ايوب وقال. البقر كانت تحرث والاتن ترعى بجانبها	14 There came a messenger to Job, and said: The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
15 فسقط عليها السبئيون واخذوها وضربوا الغلمان بحد السيف ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.	15 And the Sabeans rushed in, and took all away, and slew the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
16 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. نار الله سقطت من السماء فاحرقت الغنم والغلمان وأكلتهم ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.	16 And while he was yet speaking, another came, and said: The fire of God fell from heaven, and striking the sheep and the servants, hath consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
17 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. الكلدانيون عيّنوا ثلاث فرق فهجموا على الجمال واخذوها وضربوا الغلمان بحد السيف ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.	17 And while he also was yet speaking, there came another, and said: The Chaldeans made three troops, and have fallen upon the camels, and taken them, moreover they have slain the servants with the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell thee.
18 وبينما هو يتكلم اذ جاء آخر وقال. بنوك وبناتك كانوا ياكلون ويشربون خمرا في بيت اخيهم الاكبر	18 He was yet speaking, and behold another came in, and said: Thy sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their elder brother:
19 واذا ريح شديدة جاءت من عبر القفر وصدمت زوايا البيت الاربع فسقط على الغلمان فماتوا ونجوت انا وحدي لاخبرك.	19 A violent wind came on a sudden from the side of the desert, and shook the four corners of the house, and it fell upon thy children and they are dead, and I alone have escaped to fell thee.
20 فقام ايوب ومزّق جبّته وجزّ شعر راسه وخرّ على الارض وسجد	20 Then Job rose up, and rent his garments, and having shaven his head fell down upon the ground and worshipped,
21 وقال عريانا خرجت من بطن امي وعريانا اعود الى هناك. الرب اعطى والرب اخذ فليكن اسم الرب مباركا.	21 And said: Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: as it hath pleased the Lord so is it done: blessed be the name of the Lord.
22 في كل هذا لم يخطئ ايوب ولم ينسب لله جهالة	22 In all these things Job sinned not by his lips, nor spoke he any foolish thing against God.
