1فاجاب اليهو وقال
1Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2أتحسب هذا حقا. قلت انا ابر من الله.
2Thinkest thou this to be [thy] right, [Or] sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's,
3لانك قلت ماذا يفيدك بماذا انتفع اكثر من خطيتي.
3That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? [And], What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
4انا ارد عليك كلاما وعلى اصحابك معك.
4I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.
5انظر الى السموات وابصر ولاحظ الغمام انها اعلى منك.
5Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.
6ان اخطأت فماذا فعلت به وان كثرت معاصيك فماذا عملت له.
6If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
7ان كنت بارا فماذا اعطيته او ماذا ياخذه من يدك.
7If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
8لرجل مثلك شرك ولابن آدم برك
8Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou art; And thy righteousness [may profit] a son of man.
9من كثرة المظالم يصرخون. يستغيثون من ذراع الاعزاء.
9By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
10ولم يقولوا اين الله صانعي مؤتي الاغاني في الليل.
10But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night,
11الذي يعلمنا اكثر من وحوش الارض ويجعلنا احكم من طيور السماء.
11Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
12ثم يصرخون من كبرياء الاشرار ولا يستجيب.
12There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
13ولكن الله لا يسمع كذبا والقدير لا ينظر اليه.
13Surely God will not hear an empty [cry], Neither will the Almighty regard it.
14فاذا قلت انك لست تراه فالدعوى قدامه فاصبر له.
14How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!
15واما الآن فلأن غضبه لا يطالب ولا يبالي بكثرة الزلات
15But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;
16فغر ايوب فاه بالباطل وكبر الكلام بلا معرفة
16Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.
