Job 34

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Then Elihu continued and said:	1 فاجاب اليهو وقال
2 Hear, O wise men, my discourse, and you that have knowledge, hear me!	2 اسمعوا اقوالي ايها الحكماء واصغوا لي ايها العارفون.
3 For the ear tests words, as the taste does food.	3 لان الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يذوق طعاما.
4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn between us what is good.	4 لنمتحن لانفسنا الحق ونعرف بين انفسنا ما هو طيب
5 For Job has said, "I am innocent, but God has taken what is my due.	5 لان ايوب قال تبررت والله نزع حقي.
6 Notwithstanding my right I am set at nought; in my wound the arrow rankles, sinless though I am."	6 عند محاكمتي اكذب. جرحي عديم الشفاء من دون ذنب.
7 What man is like Job? He drinks in blasphemies like water,	7 فاي انسان كايوب يشرب الهزء كالماء
8 Keeps company with evildoers and goes along with wicked men,	8 ويسير متحدا مع فاعلي الاثم وذاهبا مع اهل الشر.
9 When he says, "It profits a man nought that he is pleasing to God."	9 لانه قال لا ينتفع الانسان بكونه مرضيا عند الله
10 Therefore, men of understanding, hearken to me: far be it from God to do wickedness; far from the Almighty to do wrong!	10 لاجل ذلك اسمعوا لي يا ذوي الالباب. حاشا لله من الشر وللقدير من الظلم.
11 Rather, he requites men for their conduct, and brings home to a man his way of life.	11 لانه يجازي الانسان على فعله وينيل الرجل كطريقه.
12 Surely, God cannot act wickedly, the Almighty cannot violate justice.	12 فحقا ان الله لا يفعل سوءا والقدير لا يعوج القضاء.
13 Who gave him government over the earth, or who else set all the land in its place?	13 من وكله بالارض ومن صنع المسكونه كلها.
14 If he were to take back his spirit to himself, withdraw to himself his breath,	14 ان جعل عليه قلبه ان جمع الى نفسه روحه ونسمته
15 All flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust.	15 يسلم الروح كل بشر جميعا ويعود الانسان الى التراب.
16 Now, do you, O Job, hear this! Hearken to the words I speak!	16 فان كان لك فهم فاسمع هذا واصغ الى صوت كلماتي.
17 Can an enemy of justice indeed be in control, or will you condemn the supreme Just One,	17 ألعل من يبغض الحق يتسلط ام البار الكبير تستذنب.
18 Who says to a king, "You are worthless!" and to nobles, "You are wicked!"	18 أيقال للملك يا لئيم وللندباء يا اشرار.
19 Who neither favors the person of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor? For they are all the work of his hands;	19 الذي لا يحابي بوجوه الرؤساء ولا يعتبر موسعا دون فقير. لانهم جميعهم عمل يديه.
20 in a moment they die, even at midnight. He brings on nobles, and takes them away, removing the powerful without lifting a hand;	20 بغتة يموتون وفي نصف الليل. يرتج الشعب ويزولون وينزع الاعزاء لا بيد.
21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he beholds all his steps.	21 لان عينيه على طرق الانسان وهو يرى كل خطواته.
22 There is no darkness so dense that evildoers can hide in it.	22 لا ظلام ولا ظل موت حيث تختفي عمّال الاثم.
23 For he forewarns no man of his time to come before God in judgment.	23 لانه لا يلاحظ الانسان زمانا للدخول في المحاكمة مع الله.
24 Without a trial he breaks the mighty, and sets others in their stead,	24 يحطم الاعزاء من دون فحص ويقيم آخرين مكانهم.
25 Therefore he discerns their works; he turns at night and crushes them.	25 لكنه يعرف اعمالهم ويقلّبهم ليلا فينسحقون.
	26 لكونهم اشرارا يصفقهم في مرأى الناظرين.
27 Because they turned away from him and heeded none of his ways,	27 لانهم انصرفوا من ورائه وكل طرقه لم يتأملوها.
28 But caused the cries of the poor to reach him, so that he heard the plea of the afflicted.	28 حتى بلّغوا اليه صراخ المسكين فسمع زعقة البائسين.
29 If he remains tranquil, who then can condemn? If he hides his face, who then can behold him?	29 اذا هو سكّن فمن يشغب واذا حجب وجهه فمن يراه سواء كان على امة او على انسان.
	30 حتى لا يملك الفاجر ولا يكون شركا للشعب
31 When anyone says to God, "I was misguided; I will offend no more.	31 ولكن هل للّه قال احتملت. لا اعود افسد.
32 Teach me wherein I have sinned; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more,"	32 ما لم ابصره فأرنيه انت. ان كنت قد فعلت اثما فلا اعود افعله.
33 Would you then say that God must punish, since you reject what he is doing? It is you who must choose, not I; speak, therefore, what you know.	33 هل كرأيك يجازيه قائلا لانك رفضت فانت تختار لا انا. وبما تعرفه تكلم.
34 Men of understanding will say to me, every wise man who hears my views:	34 ذوو الالباب يقولون لي بل الرجل الحكيم الذي يسمعني يقول
35 "Job speaks without intelligence, and his words are without sense."	35 ان ايوب يتكلم بلا معرفة وكلامه ليس بتعقّل.
36 Let Job be tried to the limit, since his answers are those of the impious;	36 فليت ايوب كان يمتحن الى الغاية من اجل اجوبته كاهل الاثم.
37 For he is adding rebellion to his sin by brushing off our arguments and addressing many words to God.	37 لكنه اضاف الى خطيته معصية. يصفق بيننا ويكثر كلامه على الله
