SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجاب بلدد الشوحي وقال1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:
2 الى متى تضعون اشراكا للكلام. تعقّلوا وبعد نتكلم.2 What prevents you others from saying something? Think -- for it is our turn to speak!
3 لماذا حسبنا كالبهيمة وتنجسنا في عيونكم.3 Why do you regard us as animals, considering us no more than brutes?
4 يا ايها المفترس نفسه في غيظه هل لاجلك تخلى الارض او يزحزح الصخر من مكانه4 Tear yourself to pieces if you will, but the world, for al your rage, wil not turn to desert, the rocks wilnot shift from their places.
5 نعم. نور الاشرار ينطفئ ولا يضيء لهيب ناره.5 The light of the wicked must certainly be put out, the lamp that gives him light cease to shine.
6 النور يظلم في خيمته وسراجه فوقه ينطفئ.6 In his tent the light is dimmed, the lamp that shone on him is snuffed.
7 تقصر خطوات قوته وتصرعه مشورته.7 His vigorous stride loses its power, his own designs falter.
8 لان رجليه تدفعانه في المصلاة فيمشي الى شبكة.8 For into the net his own feet carry him, he walks into the snares.
9 يمسك الفخ بعقبه وتتمكن منه الشرك.9 A spring grips him by the heel, a trap snaps shut, and he is caught.
10 مطمورة في الارض حبالته ومصيدته في السبيل.10 Hidden in the ground is a snare to catch him, pitfal s lie across his path.
11 ترهبه اهوال من حوله وتذعره عند رجليه.11 Terrors threaten him from al sides following him step by step.
12 تكون قوته جائعة والبوار مهيأ بجانبه.12 Hunger becomes his companion, by his side Disaster stands.
13 ياكل اعضاء جسده يأكل اعضاءه بكر الموت.13 Disease devours his skin, Death's First-Born gnaws his limbs.
14 ينقطع عن خيمته عن اعتماده ويساق الى ملك الاهوال.14 He wil be torn from the shelter of his tent, and you wil drag him to the King of Terrors.
15 يسكن في خيمته من ليس له. يذر على مربضه كبريت.15 You can live in the tent, since it is no longer his, and brimstone wil be scattered on his sheepfold.
16 من تحت تيبس اصوله ومن فوق يقطع فرعه.16 Below, his roots dry out and his branches are blasted above.
17 ذكره يبيد من الارض ولا اسم له على وجه البر.17 His memory fades from the land, his name is forgotten in the countryside.
18 يدفع من النور الى الظلمة ومن المسكونة يطرد.18 Driven from the light into the darkness, he is banished from the world,
19 لا نسل ولا عقب له بين شعبه ولا شارد في محاله.19 without issue or posterity among his own people or a single survivor where he used to live.
20 يتعجب من يومه المتأخرون ويقشعر الاقدمون.20 His end appals the west and fills the east with terror.
21 انما تلك مساكن فاعلي الشر وهذا مقام من لا يعرف الله21 Such indeed is the fate of the places where wickedness dwel s -- the home of everyone who knowsnot God.
