1Moreover Elihu answered,
1فاجاب اليهو وقال
2“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’
2أتحسب هذا حقا. قلت انا ابر من الله.
3That you ask, ‘What advantage will it be to you? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’
3لانك قلت ماذا يفيدك بماذا انتفع اكثر من خطيتي.
4I will answer you, and your companions with you.
4انا ارد عليك كلاما وعلى اصحابك معك.
5Look to the heavens, and see. See the skies, which are higher than you.
5انظر الى السموات وابصر ولاحظ الغمام انها اعلى منك.
6If you have sinned, what effect do you have against him? If your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
6ان اخطأت فماذا فعلت به وان كثرت معاصيك فماذا عملت له.
7If you are righteous, what do you give him? Or what does he receive from your hand?
7ان كنت بارا فماذا اعطيته او ماذا ياخذه من يدك.
8Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are, and your righteousness may profit a son of man.
8لرجل مثلك شرك ولابن آدم برك
9“By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out. They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
9من كثرة المظالم يصرخون. يستغيثون من ذراع الاعزاء.
10But none says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
10ولم يقولوا اين الله صانعي مؤتي الاغاني في الليل.
11who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?’
11الذي يعلمنا اكثر من وحوش الارض ويجعلنا احكم من طيور السماء.
12There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.
12ثم يصرخون من كبرياء الاشرار ولا يستجيب.
13Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
13ولكن الله لا يسمع كذبا والقدير لا ينظر اليه.
14How much less when you say you don’t see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!
14فاذا قلت انك لست تراه فالدعوى قدامه فاصبر له.
15But now, because he has not visited in his anger, neither does he greatly regard arrogance.
15واما الآن فلأن غضبه لا يطالب ولا يبالي بكثرة الزلات
16Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, and he multiplies words without knowledge.”
16فغر ايوب فاه بالباطل وكبر الكلام بلا معرفة
