1فاجاب ايوب وقال
1Then Job answered,
2قد سمعت كثيرا مثل هذا. معزون متعبون كلكم.
2“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters!
3هل من نهاية لكلام فارغ. او ماذا يهيجك حتى تجاوب.
3Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4انا ايضا استطيع ان اتكلم مثلكم لو كانت انفسكم مكان نفسي وان اسرد عليكم اقوالا وأنغض راسي اليكم.
4I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,
5بل كنت اشددكم بفمي وتعزية شفتيّ تمسككم
5but I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you.
6ان تكلمت لم تمتنع كآبتي. وان سكت فماذا يذهب عني.
6“Though I speak, my grief is not subsided. Though I forbear, what am I eased?
7انه الآن ضجّرني. خربت كل جماعتي.
7But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company.
8قبضت عليّ. وجد شاهد. قام عليّ هزالي يجاوب في وجهي.
8You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.
9غضبه افترسني واضطهدني. حرّق عليّ اسنانه. عدوي يحدد عينيه عليّ.
9He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
10فغروا عليّ افواههم. لطموني على فكّي تعييرا. تعاونوا عليّ جميعا.
10They have gaped on me with their mouth. They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
11دفعني الله الى الظالم وفي ايدي الاشرار طرحني.
11God delivers me to the ungodly, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12كنت مستريحا فزعزعني وامسك بقفاي فحطمني ونصبني له غرضا.
12I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target.
13احاطت بي رماته. شق كليتيّ ولم يشفق. سفك مرارتي على الارض.
13His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall on the ground.
14يقتحمني اقتحاما على اقتحام. يعدو عليّ كجبار.
14He breaks me with breach on breach. He runs on me like a giant.
15خطت مسحا على جلدي ودسست في التراب قرني.
15I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and have thrust my horn in the dust.
16احمر وجهي من البكاء وعلى هدبي ظل الموت.
16My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids.
17مع انه لا ظلم في يدي وصلاتي خالصة
17Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18يا ارض لا تغطي دمي ولا يكن مكان لصراخي.
18“Earth, don’t cover my blood. Let my cry have no place to rest.
19ايضا الآن هوذا في السموات شهيدي وشاهدي في الاعالي.
19Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven. He who vouches for me is on high.
20المستهزئون بي هم اصحابي. لله تقطر عيني
20My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,
21لكي يحاكم الانسان عند الله كابن آدم لدى صاحبه.
21that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!
22اذا مضت سنون قليلة اسلك في طريق لا اعود منها
22For when a few years have come, I shall go the way of no return.
