Giobbe (ايوب) 8

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 فاجاب بلدد الشوحي وقال	1 Bildad of Shuah spoke next. He said:
2 الى متى تقول هذا وتكون اقوال فيك ريحا شديدة.	2 How much longer are you going to talk like this and go blustering on in this way?
3 هل الله يعوّج القضاء او القدير يعكس الحق.	3 Can God deflect the course of right or Shaddai falsify justice?
4 اذ اخطأ اليه بنوك دفعهم الى يد معصيتهم.	4 If your sons sinned against him, he has punished them for their wrong-doing.
5 فان بكرت انت الى الله وتضرعت الى القدير.	5 You for your part, if you are pure and honest, must now seek God, plead with Shaddai.
6 ان كنت انت زكيا مستقيما فانه الآن يتنبه لك ويسلم مسكن برك.	6 Forthwith his light wil shine on you and he wil restore an upright man's house to prosperity.
7 وان تكن اولاك صغيرة فآخرتك تكثر جدا	7 Your former state wil seem as nothing to you, so great wil your future be.
8 اسأل القرون الاولى وتأكد مباحث آبائهم.	8 Question the generation that has passed, meditate on the experience of its ancestors-
9 لاننا نحن من امس ولا نعلم لان ايامنا على الارض ظل.	9 for we children of yesterday, we know nothing, our life on earth passes like a shadow-
10 فهلا يعلمونك. يقولون لك ومن قلوبهم يخرجون اقوالا قائلين	10 but they wil teach you, they will tel you, and their thought is expressed in these sayings,
11 هل ينمي البردي في غير الغمقة او تنبت الحلفاء بلا ماء.	11 'Can papyrus flourish except in marshes? Without water can the rushes grow?
12 وهو بعد في نضارته لم يقطع ييبس قبل كل العشب.	12 Even when green and before being cut, fastest of al plants they wither.
13 هكذا سبل كل الناسين الله ورجاء الفاجر يخيب	13 Such is the fate of al who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless.
14 فينقطع اعتماده ومتكله بيت العنكبوت.	14 His hope is nothing but gossamer, his confidence a spider's web.
15 يستند الى بيته فلا يثبت. يتمسك به فلا يقوم.	15 Let him lean on his house, it wil not stand firm; cling to it, it wil not hold.
16 هو رطب تجاه الشمس وعلى جنته تنبت خراعيبه.	16 Like some lush plant in the sunlight, he sent his young shoots sprouting over the garden;
17 واصوله مشتبكة في الرجمة فترى محل الحجارة.	17 but his roots were twined in a heap of stones, he drew his life among the rocks.
18 ان اقتلعه من مكانه يجحده قائلا ما رايتك.	18 Snatch him from his bed, and it denies it ever saw him.
19 هذا هو فرح طريقه ومن التراب ينبت آخر	19 Now he rots on the roadside, and others are springing up in the soil.
20 هوذا الله لا يرفض الكامل ولا يأخذ بيد فاعلي الشر.	20 Believe me, God neither spurns anyone of integrity, nor lends his aid to the evil.
21 عندما يملأ فاك ضحكا وشفتيك هتافا.	21 Once again laughter may fil your mouth and cries of joy break from your lips.
22 يلبس مبغضوك خزيا. اما خيمة الاشرار فلا تكون	22 Your enemies will be covered with shame and the tent of the wicked wil vanish!'
