1Then Job answered and said,
1فاجاب ايوب وقال
2Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
2اليوم ايضا شكواي تمرد. ضربتي اثقل من تنهدي.
3Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
3من يعطيني ان اجده فآتي الى كرسيه.
4I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
4احسن الدعوى امامه واملأ فمي حججا.
5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
5فاعرف الاقوال التي بها يجيبني وافهم ما يقوله لي.
6Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
6أبكثرة قوة يخاصمني. كلا. ولكنه كان ينتبه اليّ.
7There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
7هنالك كان يحاجه المستقيم وكنت انجو الى الابد من قاضيّ.
8Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
8هانذا اذهب شرقا فليس هو هناك وغربا فلا اشعر به
9On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
9شمالا حيث عمله فلا انظره. يتعطف الجنوب فلا اراه
10But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
10لانه يعرف طريقي. اذا جربني اخرج كالذهب.
11My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
11بخطواته استمسكت رجلي حفظت طريقه ولم أحد.
12Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
12من وصية شفتيه لم ابرح. اكثر من فريضتي ذخرت كلام فيه.
13But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
13اما هو فوحده فمن يردّه. ونفسه تشتهي فيفعل.
14For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
14لانه يتمم المفروض عليّ وكثير مثل هذه عنده.
15Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
15من اجل ذلك ارتاع قدامه. اتأمل فارتعب منه.
16For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
16لان الله قد اضعف قلبي والقدير روّعني.
17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
17لاني لم أقطع قبل الظلام ومن وجهي لم يغط الدجى
