¹فلهذا اضطرب قلبي وخفق من موضعه.

¹Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:

²اسمعوا سماعا رعد صوته والزمزمة الخارجة من فيه.

²Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.

³تحت كل السموات يطلقها كذا نوره الى اكناف الارض.

³He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

⁴بعد يزمجر صوت يرعد بصوت جلاله ولا يؤخرها اذ سمع صوته.

⁴After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.

⁵الله يرعد بصوته عجبا. يصنع عظائم لا ندركها.

⁵ùGod thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.

⁶لانه يقول للثلج اسقط على الارض. كذا لوابل المطر وابل امطار عزه.

⁶For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.

⁷يختم على يد كل انسان ليعلم كل الناس خالقهم.

⁷He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

⁸فتدخل الحيوانات المآوي وتستقر في اوجرتها.

⁸And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.

⁹من الجنوب تأتي الاعصار ومن الشمال البرد.

⁹From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.

¹⁰من نسمة الله يجعل الجمد وتتضيق سعة المياه.

¹⁰By the breath of ùGod ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹ايضا بريّ يطرح الغيم. يبدد سحاب نوره.

¹¹Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;

¹²فهي مدورة متقلبة بادارته لتفعل كل ما يأمر به على وجه الارض المسكونة

¹²And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,

¹³سواء كان للتأديب او لارضه او للرحمة يرسلها

¹³Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.

¹⁴انصت الى هذا يا ايوب وقف وتأمل بعجائب الله.

¹⁴Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of ùGod.

¹⁵أتدرك انتباه الله اليها او اضاءة نور سحابه.

¹⁵Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

¹⁶أتدرك موازنة السحاب معجزات الكامل المعارف.

¹⁶Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷كيف تسخن ثيابك اذا سكنت الارض من ريح الجنوب.

¹⁷How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

¹⁸هل صفّحت معه الجلد الممكّن كالمرآة المسبوكة.

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?

¹⁹علّمنا ما نقول له اننا لا نحسن الكلام بسبب الظلمة.

¹⁹Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.

²⁰هل يقص عليه كلامي اذا تكلمت. هل ينطق الانسان لكي يبتلع.

²⁰Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.

²¹والآن لا يرى النور الباهر الذي هو في الجلد ثم تعبر الريح فتنقّيه.

²¹And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

²²من الشمال يأتي ذهب. عند الله جلال مرهب.

²²From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.

²³القدير لا ندركه. عظيم القوة والحق وكثير البر. لا يجاوب.

²³The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.

²⁴لذلك فلتخفه الناس. كل حكيم القلب لا يراعي

²⁴Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
