Job 26

But Job answered and said,

فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ:

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

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

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

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

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

لِمَنْ أَعْلَنْتَ أَقْوَالاً، وَنَسَمَةُ مَنْ خَرَجَتْ مِنْكَ؟

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

«اَلأَخْيِلَةُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْمِيَاهِ وَسُكَّانِهَا.

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

الْهَاوِيَةُ عُرْيَانَةٌ قُدَّامَهُ، وَالْهَلاَكُ لَيْسَ لَهُ غِطَاءٌ.

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

يَمُدُّ الشَّمَالَ عَلَى الْخَلاَءِ، وَيُعَلِّقُ الأَرْضَ عَلَى لاَ شَيْءٍ.

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

يَصُرُّ الْمِيَاهَ فِي سُحُبِهِ فَلاَ يَتَمَزَّقُ الْغَيْمُ تَحْتَهَا.

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

يَحْجِبُ وَجْهَ كُرْسِيِّهِ بَاسِطًا عَلَيْهِ سَحَابَهُ.

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

رَسَمَ حَدًّا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمِيَاهِ عِنْدَ اتِّصَالِ النُّورِ بِالظُّلْمَةِ.

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

أَعْمِدَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ تَرْتَعِدُ وَتَرْتَاعُ مِنْ زَجْرِهِ.

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

بِقُوَّتِهِ يُزْعِجُ الْبَحْرَ، وَبِفَهْمِهِ يَسْحَقُ رَهَبَ.

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

بِنَفْخَتِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ مُسْفِرَةٌ وَيَدَاهُ أَبْدَأَتَا الْحَيَّةَ الْهَارِبَةَ.

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?

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