Giobbe (ايوب) 11

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 فاجاب صوفر النعماتي وقال	1 Then Sophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
2 أكثرة الكلام لا يجاوب ام رجل مهذار يتبرر.	2 Shall not he that speaketh much, hear also? or shall a man full of talk be justified?
3 أصلفك يفحم الناس ام تلخ وليس من يخزيك.	3 Shall men hold their peace to thee only? and when thou hast mocked others, shall no man confute thee?
4 اذ تقول تعليمي زكي وانا بار في عينيك.	4 For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight.
5 ولكن يا ليت الله يتكلم ويفتح شفتيه معك	5 And I wish that God would speak with thee, and would open his lips to thee,
6 ويعلن لك خفيّات الحكمة انها مضاعفة الفهم فتعلم ان الله يغرمك باقل من اثمك	6 That he might shew thee the secrets of wisdom, and that his law is manifold, and thou mightest understand that he exacteth much less of thee, than thy iniquity deserveth.
7 أإلى عمق الله تتصل ام الى نهاية القدير تنتهي.	7 Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and wilt find out the Almighty perfectly?
8 هو اعلى من السموات فماذا عساك ان تفعل. اعمق من الهاوية فماذا تدري.	8 He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do ? he is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?
9 اطول من الارض طوله واعرض من البحر.	9 The measure of him is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
10 ان بطش او اغلق او جمع فمن يرده.	10 If he shall overturn all things, or shall press them together, who shall contradict him?
11 لانه هو يعلم اناس السوء ويبصر الاثم فهل لا ينتبه.	11 For he knoweth the vanity of men, and when he seeth iniquity, doth he not consider it?
12 اما الرجل ففارغ عديم الفهم وكجحش الفراء يولد الانسان	12 A vain man is lifted up into pride, and thinketh himself born free like a wild ass's colt.
13 ان اعددت انت قلبك وبسطت اليه يديك	13 Rut thou hast hardened thy heart, and hast spread thy hands to him.
14 ان ابعدت الاثم الذي في يدك ولا يسكن الظلم في خيمتك	14 If thou wilt put away from thee the iniquity that is in thy hand, and lot not injustice remain in thy tabernacle:
15 حينئذ ترفع وجهك بلا عيب وتكون ثابتا ولا تخاف.	15 Then mayst thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear.
16 لانك تنسى المشقة. كمياه عبرت تذكرها.	16 Thou shalt also forget misery, and remember it only as waters that are passed away.
17 وفوق الظهيرة يقوم حظك. الظلام يتحول صباحا.	17 And brightness like that of the noonday, shall arise to thee at evening: and when thou shalt think thyself consumed, thou shalt rise as the day star.
18 وتطمئن لانه يوجد رجاء. تتجسس حولك وتضطجع آمنا.	18 And thou shalt have confidence, hope being set before thee, and being buried thou shalt sleep secure.
19 وتربض وليس من يزعج ويتضرع الى وجهك كثيرون.	19 Thou shalt rest, and there shall be none to make thee afraid: and many shall entreat thy face.
20 اما عيون الاشرار فتتلف ومناصهم يبيد ورجاؤهم تسليم النفس	20 But the eyes of the wicked shall decay, and the way to escape shall fail them, and their hope the abomination of the soul.
