JOB 12

ايوب 12

1  Then Job answered and said:

1  فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ:

2  "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!

2  [صَحِيحٌ إِنَّكُمْ أَنْتُمْ شَعْبٌ وَمَعَكُمْ تَمُوتُ الْحِكْمَةُ!

3  But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

3  غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لِي فَهْمٌ مِثْلَكُمْ. لَسْتُ أَنَا دُونَكُمْ. وَمَنْ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ مِثْلُ هَذِهِ؟

4  "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.

4  رَجُلاً أُضْحُوكَةٌ لِصَاحِبِهِ صِرْتُ. دَعَا اللهَ فَاسْتَجَابَهُ. أُضْحُوكَةٌ هُوَ الصِّدِّيقُ الْكَامِلُ.

5  A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.

5  لِلْمُبْتَلِي هَوَانٌ فِي أَفْكَارِ الْمُطْمَئِنِّ مُهَيَّأٌ لِمَنْ زَلَّتْ قَدَمُهُ.

6  The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure-- In what God provides by His hand.

6  خِيَامُ الْمُخَرِّبِينَ مُسْتَرِيحَةٌ وَالَّذِينَ يُغِيظُونَ اللهَ مُطْمَئِنُّونَ الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ بِإِلَهِهِمْ فِي يَدِهِمْ!

7  "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

7  [فَاسْأَلِ الْبَهَائِمَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ وَطُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ فَتُخْبِرَكَ.

8  Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.

8  أَوْ كَلِّمِ الأَرْضَ فَتُعَلِّمَكَ وَيُحَدِّثَكَ سَمَكُ الْبَحْرِ.

9  Who among all these does not know That the hand of the Lord has done this,

9  مَنْ لاَ يَعْلَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَنَّ يَدَ الرَّبِّ صَنَعَتْ هَذَا!

10  In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?

10  الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ نَفَسُ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَرُوحُ كُلِّ الْبَشَرِ.

11  Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?

11  أَفَلَيْسَتِ الأُذُنُ تَمْتَحِنُ الأَقْوَالَ كَمَا أَنَّ الْحَنَكَ يَسْتَطْعِمُ طَعَامَهُ؟

12  Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding.

12  عِنْدَ الشَّيْبِ حِكْمَةٌ وَطُولُ الأَيَّامِ فَهْمٌ.

13  "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

13  [عِنْدَهُ الْحِكْمَةُ وَالْقُدْرَةُ. لَهُ الْمَشُورَةُ وَالْفِطْنَةُ.

14  If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.

14  هُوَذَا يَهْدِمُ فَلاَ يُبْنَى. يُغْلِقُ عَلَى إِنْسَانٍ فَلاَ يُفْتَحُ.

15  If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.

15  يَمْنَعُ الْمِيَاهَ فَتَيْبَسُ. يُطْلِقُهَا فَتَقْلِبُ الأَرْضَ.

16  With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

16  عِنْدَهُ الْعِزُّ وَالْفَهْمُ. لَهُ الْمُضِلُّ وَالْمُضَلُّ.

17  He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges.

17  يَذْهَبُ بِالْمُشِيرِينَ أَسْرَى وَيُحَمِّقُ الْقُضَاةَ.

18  He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.

18  يَحُلُّ مَنَاطِقَ الْمُلُوكِ وَيَشُدُّ أَحْقَاءَهُمْ بِوِثَاقٍ.

19  He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty.

19  يَذْهَبُ بِالْكَهَنَةِ أَسْرَى وَيَقْلِبُ الأَقْوِيَاءَ.

20  He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

20  يَقْطَعُ كَلاَمَ الأُمَنَاءِ وَيَنْزِعُ ذَوْقَ الشُّيُوخِ.

21  He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty.

21  يُلْقِي هَوَاناً عَلَى الشُّرَفَاءِ وَيُرْخِي مِنْطَقَةَ الأَشِدَّاءِ.

22  He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.

22  يَكْشِفُ الْعَمَائِقَ مِنَ الظَّلاَمِ وَيُخْرِجُ ظِلَّ الْمَوْتِ إِلَى النُّورِ.

23  He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.

23  يُكَثِّرُ الأُمَمَ ثُمَّ يُبِيدُهَا. يُوَسِّعُ لِلأُمَمِ ثُمَّ يُشَتِّتُها.

24  He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.

24  يَنْزِعُ عُقُولَ رُؤَسَاءِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ وَيُضِلُّهُمْ فِي تِيهٍ بِلاَ طَرِيقٍ.

25  They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

25  يَتَلَمَّسُونَ فِي الظَّلاَمِ وَلَيْسَ نُورٌ وَيُرَنِّحُهُمْ مِثْلَ السَّكْرَانِ.
