1And Job answered and said,
1فاجاب ايوب وقال
2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
2صحيح انكم انتم شعب ومعكم تموت الحكمة.
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
3غير انه لي فهم مثلكم. لست انا دونكم. ومن ليس عنده مثل هذه.
4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
4رجلا سخرة لصاحبه صرت. دعا الله فاستجابه. سخرة هو الصديق الكامل.
5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
5للمبتلي هوان في افكار المطمئن مهيّا لمن زلت قدمه.
6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
6خيام المخربين مستريحة والذين يغيظون الله مطمئنون الذين ياتون بالههم في يدهم
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
7فاسأل البهائم فتعلمك وطيور السماء فتخبرك.
8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
8او كلم الارض فتعلمك ويحدثك سمك البحر.
9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
9من لا يعلم من كل هؤلاء ان يد الرب صنعت هذا.
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
10الذي بيده نفس كل حيّ وروح كل البشر.
11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
11أفليست الاذن تمتحن الاقوال كما ان الحنك يستطعم طعامه.
12With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
12عند الشيب حكمة وطول الايام فهم
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
13عنده الحكمة والقدرة. له المشورة والفطنة
14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
14هوذا يهدم فلا يبنى. يغلق على انسان فلا يفتح.
15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
15يمنع المياه فتيبس . يطلقها فتقلب الارض.
16With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
16عنده العزّ والفهم . له المضل والمضل.
17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
17يذهب بالمشيرين اسرى ويحمق القضاة.
18He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
18يحل مناطق الملوك ويشد احقاءهم بوثاق.
19He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
19يذهب بالكهنة اسرى ويقلب الاقوياء.
20He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
20يقطع كلام الامناء وينزع ذوق الشيوخ.
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
21يلقي هوانا على الشرفاء ويرخي منطقة الاشداء.
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
22يكشف العمائق من الظلام ويخرج ظل الموت الى النور.
23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
23يكثر الامم ثم يبيدها. يوسع للامم ثم يجليها.
24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
24ينزع عقول رؤساء شعب الارض ويضلهم في تيه بلا طريق.
25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
25يتلمسون في الظلام وليس نور ويرنحهم مثل السكران
