¹Then Job answered and said,

¹فاجاب ايوب وقال

²I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

²قد سمعت كثيرا مثل هذا. معزون متعبون كلكم.

³Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

³هل من نهاية لكلام فارغ. او ماذا يهيجك حتى تجاوب.

⁴I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

⁴انا ايضا استطيع ان اتكلم مثلكم لو كانت انفسكم مكان نفسي وان اسرد عليكم اقوالا وأنغض راسي اليكم.

⁵But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

⁵بل كنت اشددكم بفمي وتعزية شفتيّ تمسككم

⁶Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

⁶ان تكلمت لم تمتنع كآبتي. وان سكت فماذا يذهب عني.

⁷But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

⁷انه الآن ضجّرني. خربت كل جماعتي.

⁸And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

⁸قبضت عليّ. وجد شاهد. قام عليّ هزالي يجاوب في وجهي.

⁹He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

⁹غضبه افترسني واضطهدني. حرّق عليّ اسنانه. عدوي يحدد عينيه عليّ.

¹⁰They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

¹⁰فغروا عليّ افواههم. لطموني على فكّي تعييرا. تعاونوا عليّ جميعا.

¹¹God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

¹¹دفعني الله الى الظالم وفي ايدي الاشرار طرحني.

¹²I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

¹²كنت مستريحا فزعزعني وامسك بقفاي فحطمني ونصبني له غرضا.

¹³His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

¹³احاطت بي رماته. شق كليتيّ ولم يشفق. سفك مرارتي على الارض.

¹⁴He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

¹⁴يقتحمني اقتحاما على اقتحام. يعدو عليّ كجبار.

¹⁵I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.

¹⁵خطت مسحا على جلدي ودسست في التراب قرني.

¹⁶My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

¹⁶احمر وجهي من البكاء وعلى هدبي ظل الموت.

¹⁷Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

¹⁷مع انه لا ظلم في يدي وصلاتي خالصة

¹⁸O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

¹⁸يا ارض لا تغطي دمي ولا يكن مكان لصراخي.

¹⁹Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

¹⁹ايضا الآن هوذا في السموات شهيدي وشاهدي في الاعالي.

²⁰My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

²⁰المستهزئون بي هم اصحابي. لله تقطر عيني

²¹O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

²¹لكي يحاكم الانسان عند الله كابن آدم لدى صاحبه.

²²When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

²²اذا مضت سنون قليلة اسلك في طريق لا اعود منها
