1وَعَادَ أَيُّوبُ يَنْطِقُ بِمَثَلِهِ فَقَالَ:
1And Job again took up his parable, and said:
2«يَا لَيْتَنِي كَمَا فِي ٱلشُّهُورِ ٱلسَّالِفَةِ وَكَٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلَّتِي حَفِظَنِي ٱللهُ فِيهَا،
2Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;
3حِينَ أَضَاءَ سِرَاجَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِي، وَبِنُورِهِ سَلَكْتُ ٱلظُّلْمَةَ.
3When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;
4كَمَا كُنْتُ فِي أَيَّامِ خَرِيفِي، وَرِضَا ٱللهِ عَلَى خَيْمَتِي،
4As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was upon my tent;
5وَٱلْقَدِيرُ بَعْدُ مَعِي وَحَوْلِي غِلْمَانِي،
5When the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were about me;
6إِذْ غَسَلْتُ خَطَوَاتِي بِٱللَّبَنِ، وَٱلصَّخْرُ سَكَبَ لِي جَدَاوِلَ زَيْتٍ.
6When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!
7حِينَ كُنْتُ أَخْرُجُ إِلَى ٱلْبَابِ فِي ٱلْقَرْيَةِ، وَأُهَيِّئُ فِي ٱلسَّاحَةِ مَجْلِسِي.
7When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,
8رَآنِي ٱلْغِلْمَانُ فَٱخْتَبَأُوا، وَٱلْأَشْيَاخُ قَامُوا وَوَقَفُوا.
8The young men saw me and hid themselves, and the aged rose up and stood;
9ٱلْعُظَمَاءُ أَمْسَكُوا عَنِ ٱلْكَلَامِ، وَوَضَعُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ.
9The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;
10صَوْتُ ٱلشُّرَفَاءِ ٱخْتَفَى، وَلَصِقَتْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ بِأَحْنَاكِهِمْ.
10The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11لِأَنَّ ٱلْأُذُنَ سَمِعَتْ فَطَوَّبَتْنِي، وَٱلْعَيْنَ رَأَتْ فَشَهِدَتْ لِي،
11For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;
12لِأَنِّي أَنْقَذْتُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ ٱلْمُسْتَغِيثَ وَٱلْيَتِيمَ وَلَا مُعِينَ لَهُ.
12Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.
13بَرَكَةُ ٱلْهَالِكِ حَلَّتْ عَلَيَّ، وَجَعَلْتُ قَلْبَ ٱلْأَرْمَلَةِ يُسَرُّ.
13The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14لَبِسْتُ ٱلْبِرَّ فَكَسَانِي. كَجُبَّةٍ وَعِمَامَةٍ كَانَ عَدْلِي.
14I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.
15كُنْتُ عُيُونًا لِلْعُمْيِ، وَأَرْجُلًا لِلْعُرْجِ.
15I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16أَبٌ أَنَا لِلْفُقَرَاءِ، وَدَعْوَى لَمْ أَعْرِفْهَا فَحَصْتُ عَنْهَا.
16I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.
17هَشَّمْتُ أَضْرَاسَ ٱلظَّالِمِ، وَمِنْ بَيْنِ أَسْنَانِهِ خَطَفْتُ ٱلْفَرِيسَةَ.
17And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.
18فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي فِي وَكْرِي أُسَلِّمُ ٱلرُّوحَ، وَمِثْلَ ٱلسَّمَنْدَلِ أُكَثِّرُ أَيَّامًا.
18Then I said: 'I shall die with my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the phoenix;
19أَصْلِي كَانَ مُنْبَسِطًا إِلَى ٱلْمِيَاهِ، وَٱلطَّلُّ بَاتَ عَلَى أَغْصَانِي.
19My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;
20كَرَامَتِي بَقِيَتْ حَدِيثَةً عِنْدِي، وَقَوْسِي تَجَدَّدَتْ فِي يَدِي.
20My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow shall be renewed in my hand.'
21لِي سَمِعُوا وَٱنْتَظَرُوا، وَنَصَتُوا عِنْدَ مَشُورَتِي.
21Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.
22بَعْدَ كَلَامِي لَمْ يُثَنُّوا، وَقَوْلِي قَطَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
22After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
23وَٱنْتَظَرُونِي مِثْلَ ٱلْمَطَرِ، وَفَغَرُوا أَفْوَاهَهُمْ كَمَا لِلْمَطَرِ ٱلْمُتَأَخِّرِ.
23And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
24إِنْ ضَحِكْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا، وَنُورَ وَجْهِي لَمْ يُعَبِّسُوا.
24If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
25كُنْتُ أَخْتَارُ طَرِيقَهُمْ وَأَجْلِسُ رَأْسًا، وَأَسْكُنُ كَمَلِكٍ فِي جَيْشٍ، كَمَنْ يُعَزِّي ٱلنَّائِحِينَ.
25I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
