1فاجاب ايوب وقال
1Then Job answered,
2حتى متى تعذبون نفسي وتسحقونني بالكلام.
2“How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3هذه عشر مرات اخزيتموني. لم تخجلوا من ان تحكروني.
3You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
4وهبني ضللت حقا. عليّ تستقر ضلالتي.
4If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5ان كنتم بالحق تستكبرون عليّ فثبتوا عليّ عاري.
5If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;
6فاعلموا اذا ان الله قد عوّجني ولف عليّ احبولته.
6know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7ها اني اصرخ ظلما فلا أستجاب. ادعو وليس حكم.
7“Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8قد حوّط طريقي فلا اعبر وعلى سبلي جعل ظلاما.
8He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9ازال عني كرامتي ونزع تاج راسي.
9He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10هدمني من كل جهة فذهبت. وقلع مثل شجرة رجائي.
10He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree.
11واضرم عليّ غضبه وحسبني كاعدائه.
11He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
12معا جاءت غزاته واعدّوا عليّ طريقهم وحلّوا حول خيمتي.
12His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.
13قد ابعد عني اخوتي. ومعارفي زاغوا عني.
13“He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14اقاربي قد خذلوني والذين عرفوني نسوني.
14My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
15نزلاء بيتي وامائي يحسبونني اجنبيا. صرت في اعينهم غريبا.
15Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.
16عبدي دعوت فلم يجب. بفمي تضرعت اليه.
16I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
17نكهتي مكروهة عند امرأتي وخممت عند ابناء احشائي.
17My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
18الاولاد ايضا قد رذلوني. اذا قمت يتكلمون عليّ.
18Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
19كرهني كل رجالي والذين احببتهم انقلبوا عليّ.
19All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
20عظمي قد لصق بجلدي ولحمي ونجوت بجلد اسناني.
20My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
21تراءفوا تراءفوا انتم عليّ يا اصحابي لان يد الله قد مسّتني.
21“Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
22لماذا تطاردونني كما الله ولا تشبعون من لحمي
22Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23ليت كلماتي الآن تكتب. يا ليتها رسمت في سفر
23“Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!
24ونقرت الى الابد في الصخر بقلم حديد وبرصاص.
24That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!
25اما انا فقد علمت ان وليّي حيّ والآخر على الارض يقوم
25But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
26وبعد ان يفنى جلدي هذا وبدون جسدي ارى الله
26After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,
27الذي اراه انا لنفسي وعيناي تنظران وليس آخر. الى ذلك تتوق كليتاي في جوفي.
27Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.
28فانكم تقولون لماذا نطارده. والكلام الاصلي يوجد عندي.
28If you say, ‘How we will persecute him!’ because the root of the matter is found in me,
29خافوا على انفسكم من السيف لان الغيظ من آثام السيف. لكي تعلموا ما هو القضاء
29be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.”
