Job 10

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

1 “I loathe my own life; I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

SVD

1 «قَدْ كَرِهَتْ نَفْسِي حَيَاتِي. أُسَيِّبُ شَكْوَايَ. أَتَكَلَّمُ فِي مَرَارَةِ نَفْسِي

BSB

2 I will say to God: Do not condemn me! Let me know why You prosecute me.

SVD

2 قَائِلًا لِلهِ: لَا تَسْتَذْنِبْنِي. فَهِّمْنِي لِمَاذَا تُخَاصِمُنِي!

BSB

3 Does it please You to oppress me, to reject the work of Your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?

SVD

3 أَحَسَنٌ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَظْلِمَ، أَنْ تُرْذِلَ عَمَلَ يَدَيْكَ، وَتُشْرِقَ عَلَى مَشُورَةِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟

BSB

4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?

SVD

4 أَلَكَ عَيْنَا بَشَرٍ، أَمْ كَنَظَرِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ تَنْظُرُ؟

BSB

5 Are Your days like those of a mortal, or Your years like those of a man,

SVD

5 أَأَيَّامُكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ، أَمْ سِنُوكَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلرَّجُلِ،

BSB

6 that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin—

SVD

6 حَتَّى تَبْحَثَ عَنْ إِثْمِي وَتُفَتِّشَ عَلَى خَطِيَّتِي؟

BSB

7 though You know that I am not guilty, and there is no deliverance from Your hand?

SVD

7 فِي عِلْمِكَ أَنِّي لَسْتُ مُذْنِبًا، وَلَا مُنْقِذَ مِنْ يَدِكَ.

BSB

8 Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me. Would You now turn and destroy me?

SVD

8 «يَدَاكَ كَوَّنَتَانِي وَصَنَعَتَانِي كُلِّي جَمِيعًا، أَفَتَبْتَلِعُنِي؟

BSB

9 Please remember that You molded me like clay. Would You now return me to dust?

SVD

9 اُذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ جَبَلْتَنِي كَٱلطِّينِ، أَفَتُعِيدُنِي إِلَى ٱلتُّرَابِ؟

BSB

10 Did You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese?

SVD

10 أَلَمْ تَصُبَّنِي كَٱللَّبَنِ، وَخَثَّرْتَنِي كَٱلْجُبْنِ؟

BSB

11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

SVD

11 كَسَوْتَنِي جِلْدًا وَلَحْمًا، فَنَسَجْتَنِي بِعِظَامٍ وَعَصَبٍ.

BSB

12 You have granted me life and loving devotion, and Your care has preserved my spirit.

SVD

12 مَنَحْتَنِي حَيَاةً وَرَحْمَةً، وَحَفِظَتْ عِنَايَتُكَ رُوحِي.

BSB

13 Yet You concealed these things in Your heart, and I know that this was in Your mind:

SVD

13 لَكِنَّكَ كَتَمْتَ هَذِهِ فِي قَلْبِكَ. عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ هَذَا عِنْدَكَ:

BSB

14 If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.

SVD

14 إِنْ أَخْطَأْتُ تُلَاحِظُنِي وَلَا تُبْرِئُنِي مِنْ إِثْمِي.

BSB

15 If I am guilty, woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.

SVD

15 إِنْ أَذْنَبْتُ فَوَيْلٌ لِي، وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي. إِنِّي شَبْعَانُ هَوَانًا وَنَاظِرٌ مَذَلَّتِي.

BSB

16 Should I hold my head high, You would hunt me like a lion, and again display Your power against me.

SVD

16 وَإِنِ ٱرْتَفَعْتُ تَصْطَادُنِي كَأَسَدٍ، ثُمَّ تَعُودُ وَتَتَجَبَّرُ عَلَيَّ.

BSB

17 You produce new witnesses against me and multiply Your anger toward me. Hardships assault me in wave after wave.

SVD

17 تُجَدِّدُ شُهُودَكَ تُجَاهِي، وَتَزِيدُ غَضَبَكَ عَلَيَّ. نُوبٌ وَجَيْشٌ ضِدِّي.

BSB

18 Why then did You bring me from the womb? Oh, that I had died, and no eye had seen me!

SVD

18 «فَلِمَاذَا أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ؟ كُنْتُ قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ٱلرُّوحَ وَلَمْ تَرَنِي عَيْنٌ!

BSB

19 If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.

SVD

19 فَكُنْتُ كَأَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ، فَأُقَادَ مِنَ ٱلرَّحِمِ إِلَى ٱلْقَبْرِ.

BSB

20 Are my days not few? Withdraw from me, that I may have a little comfort,

SVD

20 أَلَيْسَتْ أَيَّامِي قَلِيلَةً؟ ٱتْرُكْ! كُفَّ عَنِّي فَأَتَبَلَّجَ قَلِيلًا،

BSB

21 before I go—never to return—to a land of darkness and gloom,

SVD

21 قَبْلَ أَنْ أَذْهَبَ وَلَا أَعُودَ. إِلَى أَرْضِ ظُلْمَةٍ وَظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ،

BSB

22 to a land of utter darkness, of deep shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”

SVD

22 أَرْضِ ظَلَامٍ مِثْلِ دُجَى ظِلِّ ٱلْمَوْتِ وَبِلَا تَرْتِيبٍ، وَإِشْرَاقُهَا كَٱلدُّجَى».
