¹فاجاب اليهو وقال

¹Moreover Elihu answered and said,

²أتحسب هذا حقا. قلت انا ابر من الله.

²Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than ùGod's?

³لانك قلت ماذا يفيدك بماذا انتفع اكثر من خطيتي.

³For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?

⁴انا ارد عليك كلاما وعلى اصحابك معك.

⁴I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.

⁵انظر الى السموات وابصر ولاحظ الغمام انها اعلى منك.

⁵Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

⁶ان اخطأت فماذا فعلت به وان كثرت معاصيك فماذا عملت له.

⁶If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? 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 to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?

⁸لرجل مثلك شرك ولابن آدم برك

⁸Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.

⁹من كثرة المظالم يصرخون. يستغيثون من ذراع الاعزاء.

⁹By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out 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 fowl of the heavens?

¹²ثم يصرخون من كبرياء الاشرار ولا يستجيب.

¹²There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.

¹³ولكن الله لا يسمع كذبا والقدير لا ينظر اليه.

¹³Surely ùGod will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

¹⁴فاذا قلت انك لست تراه فالدعوى قدامه فاصبر له.

¹⁴Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.

¹⁵واما الآن فلأن غضبه لا يطالب ولا يبالي بكثرة الزلات

¹⁵But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?

¹⁶فغر ايوب فاه بالباطل وكبر الكلام بلا معرفة

¹⁶For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
