1Then Job answered,
1فاجاب ايوب وقال
2“Even today my complaint is rebellious. His hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.
2اليوم ايضا شكواي تمرد. ضربتي اثقل من تنهدي.
3Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!
3من يعطيني ان اجده فآتي الى كرسيه.
4I would set my cause in order before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
4احسن الدعوى امامه واملأ فمي حججا.
5I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would tell me.
5فاعرف الاقوال التي بها يجيبني وافهم ما يقوله لي.
6Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would listen to me.
6أبكثرة قوة يخاصمني. كلا. ولكنه كان ينتبه اليّ.
7There the upright might reason with him, so I should be delivered forever from my judge.
7هنالك كان يحاجه المستقيم وكنت انجو الى الابد من قاضيّ.
8“If I go east, he is not there; if west, I can’t find him;
8هانذا اذهب شرقا فليس هو هناك وغربا فلا اشعر به
9He works to the north, but I can’t see him. He turns south, but I can’t catch a glimpse of him.
9شمالا حيث عمله فلا انظره. يتعطف الجنوب فلا اراه
10But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.
10لانه يعرف طريقي. اذا جربني اخرج كالذهب.
11My foot has held fast to his steps. I have kept his way, and not turned aside.
11بخطواته استمسكت رجلي حفظت طريقه ولم أحد.
12I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
12من وصية شفتيه لم ابرح. اكثر من فريضتي ذخرت كلام فيه.
13But he stands alone, and who can oppose him? What his soul desires, even that he does.
13اما هو فوحده فمن يردّه. ونفسه تشتهي فيفعل.
14For he performs that which is appointed for me. Many such things are with him.
14لانه يتمم المفروض عليّ وكثير مثل هذه عنده.
15Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.
15من اجل ذلك ارتاع قدامه. اتأمل فارتعب منه.
16For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.
16لان الله قد اضعف قلبي والقدير روّعني.
17Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.
17لاني لم أقطع قبل الظلام ومن وجهي لم يغط الدجى
