SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فاجاب الرب ايوب فقال1 The LORD then said to Job:
2 هل يخاصم القدير موبّخه ام المحاجّ الله يجاوبه2 Will we have arguing with the Almighty by the critic? Let him who would correct God give answer!
3 فاجاب ايوب الرب وقال3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
4 ها انا حقير فماذا اجاوبك. وضعت يدي على فمي.4 Behold, I am of little account; what can I answer you? I put my hand over my mouth.
5 مرة تكلمت فلا اجيب ومرتين فلا ازيد5 Though I have spoken once, I will not do so again; though twice, I will do so no more.
6 فاجاب الرب ايوب من العاصفة فقال6 Then the LORD addressed Job out of the storm and said:
7 الآن شدّ حقويك كرجل. اسألك فتعلمني.7 Gird up your loins now, like a man. I will question you, and you tell me the answers!
8 لعلك تناقض حكمي. تستذنبني لكي تتبرر انت.8 Would you refuse to acknowledge my right? Would you condemn me that you may be justified?
9 هل لك ذراع كما لله وبصوت مثل صوته ترعد.9 Have you an arm like that of God, or can you thunder with a voice like his?
10 تزيّن الآن بالجلال والعزّ والبس المجد والبهاء.10 Adorn yourself with grandeur and majesty, and array yourself with glory and splendor.
11 فرّق فيض غضبك وانظر كل متعظم واخفضه.11 Let loose the fury of your wrath;
12 انظر الى كل متعظم وذلّله ودس الاشرار في مكانهم.12 tear down the wicked and shatter them. Bring down the haughty with a glance;
13 اطمرهم في التراب معا واحبس وجوههم في الظلام.13 bury them in the dust together; in the hidden world imprison them.
14 فانا ايضا احمدك لان يمينك تخلصك14 Then will I too acknowledge that your own right hand can save you.
15 هوذا بهيموث الذي صنعته معك. ياكل العشب مثل البقر.15 See, besides you I made Behemoth, that feeds on grass like an ox.
16 ها هي قوته في متنيه وشدته في عضل بطنه.16 Behold the strength in his loins, and his vigor in the sinews of his belly.
17 يخفض ذنبه كارزة. عروق فخذيه مضفورة.17 He carries his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are like cables.
18 عظامه انابيب نحاس. جرمها حديد ممطول.18 His bones are like tubes of bronze; his frame is like iron rods.
19 هو اول اعمال الله. الذي صنعه اعطاه سيفه.19 He came at the beginning of God's ways, and was made the taskmaster of his fellows;
20 لان الجبال تخرج له مرعى وجميع وحوش البر تلعب هناك.20 For the produce of the mountains is brought to him, and of all wild animals he makes sport.
21 تحت السدرات يضطجع في ستر القصب والغمقة.21 Under the lotus trees he lies, in coverts of the reedy swamp.
22 تظلله السدرات بظلها. يحيط به صفصاف السواقي.22 The lotus trees cover him with their shade; all about him are the poplars on the bank.
23 هوذا النهر يفيض فلا يفر هو. يطمئن ولو اندفق الاردن في فمه.23 If the river grows violent, he is not disturbed; he is tranquil though the torrent surges about his mouth.
24 هل يؤخذ من امامه. هل يثقب انفه بخزامة24 Who can capture him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a trap?
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!
