Job 26

فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ:

But Job answered and said,

«كَيْفَ أَعَنْتَ مَنْ لاَ قُوَّةَ لَهُ، وَخَلَّصْتَ ذِرَاعًا لاَ عِزَّ لَهَا؟

How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

كَيْفَ أَشَرْتَ عَلَى مَنْ لاَ حِكْمَةَ لَهُ، وَأَظْهَرْتَ الْفَهْمَ بِكَثْرَةٍ؟

How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالاً، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟

To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

«اَلأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا.

Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

الْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَالْهَلاَكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ.

Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

يَمُدُّ الشَّمَالَ عَلَى الْخَلاَءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى لاَ شَيْءٍ.

He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

يَصُرُّ الْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلاَ يَتَمَزَّقُ الْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

يَحْجِبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ.

He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ اتِّصَالِ النُّورِ بِالظُّلْمَةِ.

He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

أَعْمِدَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ.

The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ الْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.

He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

بِنَفْخَتِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا الْحَيَّةَ الْهَارِبَةَ.

By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

هَا هذِهِ أَطْرَافُ طُرُقِهِ، وَمَا أَخْفَضَ الْكَلاَمَ الَّذِي نَسْمَعُهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا رَعْدُ جَبَرُوتِهِ فَمَنْ يَفْهَمُ؟».

Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
