SMITH VAN DYKENEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجاب اليهو وقال1 Elihu continued his speech. He said:
2 اسمعوا اقوالي ايها الحكماء واصغوا لي ايها العارفون.2 And now, you sages, listen to what I say, lend me your ears, you learned men.
3 لان الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يذوق طعاما.3 The ear distinguishes the value of what is said, just as the palate can tel one food from another.
4 لنمتحن لانفسنا الحق ونعرف بين انفسنا ما هو طيب4 Let us consider together God's ruling and decide what we all mean by good.
5 لان ايوب قال تبررت والله نزع حقي.5 Job has been saying, 'I am upright and God denies me fair judgement.
6 عند محاكمتي اكذب. جرحي عديم الشفاء من دون ذنب.6 My judge is treating me cruel y, my wound is incurable, for no fault of mine.'
7 فاي انسان كايوب يشرب الهزء كالماء7 Can anyone else exist like Job, who laps up mockery like water,
8 ويسير متحدا مع فاعلي الاثم وذاهبا مع اهل الشر.8 who consorts with evil-doers and marches in step with the wicked?
9 لانه قال لا ينتفع الانسان بكونه مرضيا عند الله9 Did he not say, 'No one derives any benefit from enjoying the society of God'?
10 لاجل ذلك اسمعوا لي يا ذوي الالباب. حاشا لله من الشر وللقدير من الظلم.10 Listen to me then, like intel igent people. Far be evil from God or injustice from Shaddai!
11 لانه يجازي الانسان على فعله وينيل الرجل كطريقه.11 For he pays people back for what they do, treating each as his own conduct deserves.
12 فحقا ان الله لا يفعل سوءا والقدير لا يعوج القضاء.12 Be sure of it: God never does wrong, Shaddai does not pervert what is just.
13 من وكله بالارض ومن صنع المسكونه كلها.13 Did someone else entrust the world to his care was he given charge of the universe by someoneelse?
14 ان جعل عليه قلبه ان جمع الى نفسه روحه ونسمته14 If he were to recal his spirit, to concentrate his breath back in himself,
15 يسلم الروح كل بشر جميعا ويعود الانسان الى التراب.15 all flesh would instantly perish and al people would return to dust.
16 فان كان لك فهم فاسمع هذا واصغ الى صوت كلماتي.16 If you have any intel igence, listen to this, lend your ear to the sound of my words.
17 ألعل من يبغض الحق يتسلط ام البار الكبير تستذنب.17 Could an enemy of fair judgement ever govern? Would you dare condemn the Upright One, theAlmighty,
18 أيقال للملك يا لئيم وللندباء يا اشرار.18 who says to a king, 'You are a scoundrel!' and to nobles, 'You are wicked!',
19 الذي لا يحابي بوجوه الرؤساء ولا يعتبر موسعا دون فقير. لانهم جميعهم عمل يديه.19 who is unimpressed by princes and makes no distinction between rich and poor, since al alike havebeen made by him?
20 بغتة يموتون وفي نصف الليل. يرتج الشعب ويزولون وينزع الاعزاء لا بيد.20 They die suddenly, at dead of night, they perish -- these great ones -- and disappear: it costs him noeffort to remove a tyrant.
21 لان عينيه على طرق الانسان وهو يرى كل خطواته.21 For his eyes keep watch on human ways, and he observes every step.
22 لا ظلام ولا ظل موت حيث تختفي عمّال الاثم.22 No darkness, no shadow dark as death where wrong-doers can hide!
23 لانه لا يلاحظ الانسان زمانا للدخول في المحاكمة مع الله.23 He serves no writ on anyone, no summons to appear before God's court:
24 يحطم الاعزاء من دون فحص ويقيم آخرين مكانهم.24 he breaks the powerful without enquiry and sets up others in their places.
25 لكنه يعرف اعمالهم ويقلّبهم ليلا فينسحقون.25 He knows the sort of things they do! He overthrows them at night, to be trampled on.
26 لكونهم اشرارا يصفقهم في مرأى الناظرين.26 He beats them like criminals chained up for al to see,
27 لانهم انصرفوا من ورائه وكل طرقه لم يتأملوها.27 since they have turned their backs on him, having understood so little of his ways
28 حتى بلّغوا اليه صراخ المسكين فسمع زعقة البائسين.28 as to make the cries of the weak rise to him and let him hear the appeal of the afflicted.
29 اذا هو سكّن فمن يشغب واذا حجب وجهه فمن يراه سواء كان على امة او على انسان.29 But if he is stil silent and no one can move him, if he veils his face, so that no one can see him, he istaking pity on nations and individuals,
30 حتى لا يملك الفاجر ولا يكون شركا للشعب30 is setting some wrong-doer free from the meshes of affliction.
31 ولكن هل للّه قال احتملت. لا اعود افسد.31 When such a one says to God, 'I was misled, I shal not do wrong any more;
32 ما لم ابصره فأرنيه انت. ان كنت قد فعلت اثما فلا اعود افعله.32 although I have sinned, instruct me; although I did wrong, I will not do it again,'
33 هل كرأيك يجازيه قائلا لانك رفضت فانت تختار لا انا. وبما تعرفه تكلم.33 in your opinion, should he punish such a one -- you who have rejected his decisions? This is for youto decide -- not for me!- so kindly enlighten us!
34 ذوو الالباب يقولون لي بل الرجل الحكيم الذي يسمعني يقول34 Ordinary sensible people, however, wil say to me, and so wil any sage who has been listening tome,
35 ان ايوب يتكلم بلا معرفة وكلامه ليس بتعقّل.35 'Job's words are spoken without any knowledge, what he says shows no intel igence.
36 فليت ايوب كان يمتحن الى الغاية من اجل اجوبته كاهل الاثم.36 Kindly examine him thoroughly, since his answers imply that he is a criminal.
37 لكنه اضاف الى خطيته معصية. يصفق بيننا ويكثر كلامه على الله37 For to his sin he now adds rebellion, bringing law to an end among us and heaping abuse on God.'
