SMITH VAN DYKENEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 فاجاب ايوب وقال1 Then Job replied and said:
2 صحيح انكم انتم شعب ومعكم تموت الحكمة.2 No doubt you are the intelligent folk, and with you wisdom shall die!
3 غير انه لي فهم مثلكم. لست انا دونكم. ومن ليس عنده مثل هذه.3 But I have intelligence as well as you; for who does not know such things as these?
4 رجلا سخرة لصاحبه صرت. دعا الله فاستجابه. سخرة هو الصديق الكامل.4 I have become the sport of my neighbors: "The one whom God answers when he calls upon him, The just, the perfect man," is a laughing-stock;
5 للمبتلي هوان في افكار المطمئن مهيّا لمن زلت قدمه.5 The undisturbed esteem my downfall a disgrace such as awaits unsteady feet;
6 خيام المخربين مستريحة والذين يغيظون الله مطمئنون الذين ياتون بالههم في يدهم6 Yet the tents of robbers are prosperous, and those who provoke God are secure.
7 فاسأل البهائم فتعلمك وطيور السماء فتخبرك.7 But now ask the beasts to teach you, and the birds of the air to tell you;
8 او كلم الارض فتعلمك ويحدثك سمك البحر.8 Or the reptiles on earth to instruct you, and the fish of the sea to inform you.
9 من لا يعلم من كل هؤلاء ان يد الرب صنعت هذا.9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of God has done this?
10 الذي بيده نفس كل حيّ وروح كل البشر.10 In his hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life breath of all mankind.
11 أفليست الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يستطعم طعامه.11 Does not the ear judge words as the mouth tastes food?
12 عند الشيب حكمة وطول الايام فهم12 So with old age is wisdom, and with length of days understanding.
13 عنده الحكمة والقدرة. له المشورة والفطنة13 With him are wisdom and might; his are counsel and understanding.
14 هوذا يهدم فلا يبنى. يغلق على انسان فلا يفتح.14 If he breaks a thing down, there is no rebuilding; if he imprisons a man, there is no release.
15 يمنع المياه فتيبس . ‎ يطلقها فتقلب الارض.15 He holds back the waters and there is drought; he sends them forth and they overwhelm the land.
16 عنده العزّ والفهم . ‎ له المضل والمضل.16 With him are strength and prudence; the misled and the misleaders are his.
17 يذهب بالمشيرين اسرى ويحمق القضاة.17 He sends counselors away barefoot, and of judges he makes fools.
18 يحل مناطق الملوك ويشد احقاءهم بوثاق.18 He loosens the bonds imposed by kings and leaves but a waistcloth to bind the king's own loins.
19 يذهب بالكهنة اسرى ويقلب الاقوياء.19 and lets their never-failing waters flow away.
20 يقطع كلام الامناء وينزع ذوق الشيوخ.20 He silences the trusted adviser, and takes discretion from the aged.
21 يلقي هوانا على الشرفاء ويرخي منطقة الاشداء.21 He breaks down the barriers of the streams
22 يكشف العمائق من الظلام ويخرج ظل الموت الى النور.22 The recesses of the darkness he discloses, and brings the gloom forth to the light.
23 يكثر الامم ثم يبيدها. يوسع للامم ثم يجليها.23 He makes nations great and he destroys them; he spreads peoples abroad and he abandons them.
24 ينزع عقول رؤساء شعب الارض ويضلهم في تيه بلا طريق.24 He takes understanding from the leaders of the land,
25 يتلمسون في الظلام وليس نور ويرنحهم مثل السكران25 till they grope in the darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunken men.
