¹فاجاب ايوب وقال

¹And Job answereth and saith: —

²كيف اعنت من لا قوة له وخلصت ذراعا لا عزّ لها.

²What — thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

³كيف اشرت على من لا حكمة له واظهرت الفهم بكثرة.

³What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

⁴لمن اعلنت اقوالا ونسمة من خرجت منك

⁴With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

⁵الأخيلة ترتعد من تحت المياه وسكانها.

⁵The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

⁶الهاوية عريانة قدامه والهلاك ليس له غطاء.

⁶Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

⁷يمد الشمال على الخلاء ويعلّق الارض على لا شيء.

⁷Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

⁸يصرّ المياه في سحبه فلا يتمزق الغيم تحتها.

⁸Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

⁹يحجب وجه كرسيه باسطا عليه سحابه.

⁹Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

¹⁰رسم حدّا على وجه المياه عند اتصال النور بالظلمة.

¹⁰A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

¹¹اعمدة السموات ترتعد وترتاع من زجره.

¹¹Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

¹²بقوته يزعج البحر وبفهمه يسحق رهب.

¹²By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

¹³بنفخته السموات مسفرة ويداه ابدأتا الحية الهاربة.

¹³By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

¹⁴ها هذه اطراف طرقه وما اخفض الكلام الذي نسمعه منه. واما رعد جبروته فمن يفهم

¹⁴Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
