1Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
1فَأَجَابَ بِلْدَدُ ٱلشُّوحِيُّ وَقَالَ:
2“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.
2«إِلَى مَتَى تَقُولُ هَذَا، وَتَكُونُ أَقْوَالُ فِيكَ رِيحًا شَدِيدَةً؟
3Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?
3هَلِ ٱللهُ يُعَوِّجُ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، أَوِ ٱلْقَدِيرُ يَعْكِسُ ٱلْحَقَّ؟
4When your children sinned against Him, He gave them over to their rebellion.
4إِذْ أَخْطَأَ إِلَيْهِ بَنُوكَ، دَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى يَدِ مَعْصِيَتِهِمْ.
5But if you would earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,
5فَإِنْ بَكَّرْتَ أَنْتَ إِلَى ٱللهِ وَتَضَرَّعْتَ إِلَى ٱلْقَدِيرِ،
6if you are pure and upright, even now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous estate.
6إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ زَكِيًّا مُسْتَقِيمًا، فَإِنَّهُ ٱلْآنَ يَتَنَبَّهُ لَكَ وَيُسْلِمُ مَسْكَنَ بِرِّكَ.
7Though your beginnings were modest, your latter days will flourish.
7وَإِنْ تَكُنْ أُولَاكَ صَغِيرَةً فَآخِرَتُكَ تَكْثُرُ جِدًّا.
8Please inquire of past generations and consider the discoveries of their fathers.
8«اِسْأَلِ ٱلْقُرُونَ ٱلْأُولَى وَتَأَكَّدْ مَبَاحِثَ آبَائِهِمْ،
9For we were born yesterday and know nothing; our days on earth are but a shadow.
9لِأَنَّنَا نَحْنُ مِنْ أَمْسٍ وَلَا نَعْلَمُ، لِأَنَّ أَيَّامَنَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ظِلٌّ.
10Will they not teach you and tell you, and speak from their understanding?
10فَهَلَّا يُعْلِمُونَكَ؟ يَقُولُونَ لَكَ، وَمِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ يُخْرِجُونَ أَقْوَالًا قَائِلِينَ:
11Does papyrus grow where there is no marsh? Do reeds flourish without water?
11هَلْ يَنْمِي ٱلْبَرْدِيُّ فِي غَيْرِ ٱلْغَمَقَةِ، أَوْ تَنْبُتُ ٱلْحَلْفَاءُ بِلَا مَاءٍ؟
12While the shoots are still uncut, they dry up quicker than grass.
12وَهُوَ بَعْدُ فِي نَضَارَتِهِ لَمْ يُقْطَعْ، يَيْبَسُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ ٱلْعُشْبِ.
13Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so the hope of the godless will perish.
13هَكَذَا سُبُلُ كُلِّ ٱلنَّاسِينَ ٱللهَ، وَرَجَاءُ ٱلْفَاجِرِ يَخِيبُ،
14His confidence is fragile; his security is in a spider’s web.
14فَيَنْقَطِعُ ٱعْتِمَادُهُ، وَمُتَّكَلُهُ بَيْتُ ٱلْعَنْكَبُوتِ!
15He leans on his web, but it gives way; he holds fast, but it does not endure.
15يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ فَلَا يَثْبُتُ. يَتَمَسَّكُ بِهِ فَلَا يَقُومُ.
16He is a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden.
16هُوَ رَطْبٌ تُجَاهَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَعَلَى جَنَّتِهِ تَنْبُتُ خَرَاعِيبُهُ.
17His roots wrap around the rock heap; he looks for a home among the stones.
17وَأُصُولُهُ مُشْتَبِكَةٌ فِي ٱلرُّجْمَةِ، فَتَرَى مَحَلَّ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ.
18If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
18إِنِ ٱقْتَلَعَهُ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ، يَجْحَدُهُ قَائِلًا: مَا رَأَيْتُكَ!
19Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.
19هَذَا هُوَ فَرَحُ طَرِيقِهِ، وَمِنَ ٱلتُّرَابِ يَنْبُتُ آخَرُ.
20Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.
20«هُوَذَا ٱللهُ لَا يَرْفُضُ ٱلْكَامِلَ، وَلَا يَأْخُذُ بِيَدِ فَاعِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ.
21He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.
21عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ فَاكَ ضَحِكًا، وَشَفَتَيْكَ هُتَافًا،
22Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
22يَلْبَسُ مُبْغِضُوكَ خِزْيًا، أَمَّا خَيْمَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ فَلَا تَكُونُ».
