Giobbe (ايوب) 15

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجاب اليفاز التيماني وقال	1 Eliphaz of Teman spoke next. He said:
2 ألعل الحكيم يجيب عن معرفة باطلة ويملأ بطنه من ريح شرقية.	2 Does anyone wise respond with windy arguments, or feed on an east wind?
3 فيحتج بكلام لا يفيد وباحاديث لا ينتفع بها.	3 Or make a defence with ineffectual words and speeches good for nothing?
4 اما انت فتنافي المخافة وتناقض التقوى لدى الله.	4 You do worse: you suppress reverence, you discredit discussion before God.
5 لان فمك يذيع اثمك وتختار لسان المحتالين.	5 Your very fault incites you to speak like this, hence you adopt this language of cunning.
6 ان فمك يستذنبك لا انا وشفتاك تشهدان عليك	6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips bear witness against you.
7 أصوّرت اول الناس ام أبدئت قبل التلال.	7 Are you the first-born of the human race, brought into the world before the hills?
8 هل تنصّت في مجلس الله او قصرت الحكمة على نفسك.	8 Have you been a listener at God's council, or established a monopoly of wisdom?
9 ماذا تعرفه ولا نعرفه نحن وماذا تفهم وليس هو عندنا.	9 What knowledge do you have that we have not, what understanding that is not ours too?
10 عندنا الشيخ والاشيب اكبر اياما من ابيك.	10 One of us is an old, grey-headed man loaded with more years than your father!
11 اقليلة عندك تعزيات الله والكلام معك بالرفق	11 Can you ignore these divine consolations and the moderate tone of our words?
12 لماذا ياخذك قلبك ولماذا تختلج عيناك	12 How passion carries you away! And how you rol your eyes,
13 حتى ترد على الله وتخرج من فيك اقوالا.	13 when you vent your anger on God and speeches come tripping off your tongue!
14 من هو الانسان حتى يزكو او مولود المرأة حتى يتبرر.	14 How can anyone be pure, anyone born of woman be upright?
15 هوذا قديسوه لا يأتمنهم والسموات غير طاهرة بعينيه.	15 God cannot rely even on his holy ones, to him, even the heavens seem impure.
16 فبالحري مكروه وفاسد الانسان الشارب الاثم كالماء	16 How much more, this hateful, corrupt thing, humanity, which soaks up wickedness like water!
17 أوحي اليك اسمع لي فاحدث بما رأيته	17 Listen to me, I have a lesson for you: I am going to impart my own experience
18 ما اخبر به حكماء عن آبائهم فلم يكتموه.	18 and the tradition of the sages who have remained faithful to their ancestors,
19 الذين لهم وحدهم أعطيت الارض ولم يعبر بينهم غريب.	19 to whom alone the land was given -- no foreigner included among them.
20 الشرير هو يتلوى كل ايامه وكل عدد السنين المعدودة للعاتي.	20 The life of the wicked is unceasing torment, the years al otted to the tyrant are numbered.
21 صوت رعوب في اذنيه في ساعة سلام ياتيه المخرب.	21 A cry of panic echoes in his ear; when al is peace, his destroyer swoops down on him.
22 لا يأمل الرجوع من الظلمة وهو مرتقب للسيف.	22 No more can he count on escaping from the dark, but knows that he is destined for the sword,
23 تائه هو لاجل الخبز حيثما يجده ويعلم ان يوم الظلمة مهيأ بين يديه.	23 marked down as meat for the vulture. He knows that his ruin is at hand.
24 يرهبه الضر والضيق. يتجبران عليه كملك مستعد للوغى.	24 The hour of darkness terrifies him, distress and anguish assail him as when a king is poised for theassault.
25 لانه مدّ على الله يده وعلى القدير تجبر	25 He raised his hand against God, boldly he defied Shaddai!
26 عاديا عليه متصلب العنق باوقاف مجانه معبأة.	26 Head lowered, he charged him, with his massively bossed shield.
27 لانه قد كسا وجهه سمنا وربى شحما على كليتيه	27 His face had grown ful and fat, and his thighs too heavy with flesh.
28 فيسكن مدنا خربة بيوتا غير مسكونة عتيدة ان تصير رجما.	28 He had occupied the towns he had destroyed, with their uninhabited houses about to fal into ruins;
29 لا يستغني ولا تثبت ثروته ولا يمتد في الارض مقتناه.	29 but no great profit to him, his luck will not hold, he wil cast his shadow over the country no longer,
30 لا تزول عنه الظلمة. خراعيبه تيبسها السموم وبنفخة فمه يزول.	30 (he wil not escape the dark). A flame wil scorch his young shoots, the wind will carry off his blossom.
31 لا يتكل على السوء. يضل. لان السوء يكون اجرته.	31 Let him not trust in his great height or delusion will be his.
32 قبل يومه يتوفى وسعفه لا يخضرّ.	32 His palm trees wil wither before their time and his branches never again be green.
33 يساقط كالجفنة حصرمه وينثر كالزيتون زهره.	33 Like the vine, he wil shake off his unripe fruit, like the olive tree, shed his blossom.
34 لان جماعة الفجار عاقر والنار تأكل خيام الرشوة.	34 Yes, sterile is the spawn of the sinner, and fire consumes the tents of the venal.
35 حبل شقاوة وولد اثما وبطنه أنشأ غشا	35 Whoever conceives malice, breeds disaster, bears as offspring only a false hope.
