| BSB 1 Then Zophar the Naamathite replied: | SVD 1 فَأَجَابَ صُوفَرُ ٱلنَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَقَالَ: |
| BSB 2 “So my anxious thoughts compel me to answer, because of the turmoil within me. | SVD 2 «مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ هَوَاجِسِي تُجِيبُنِي، وَلِهَذَا هَيَجَانِي فِيَّ. |
| BSB 3 I have heard a rebuke that insults me, and my understanding prompts a reply. | SVD 3 تَعْيِيرَ تَوْبِيخِي أَسْمَعُ. وَرُوحٌ مِنْ فَهْمِي يُجِيبُنِي. |
| BSB 4 Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth, | SVD 4 «أَمَا عَلِمْتَ هَذَا مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ، مُنْذُ وُضِعَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ، |
| BSB 5 the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary? | SVD 5 أَنَّ هُتَافَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ، وَفَرَحَ ٱلْفَاجِرِ إِلَى لَحْظَةٍ! |
| BSB 6 Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds, | SVD 6 وَلَوْ بَلَغَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ طُولُهُ، وَمَسَّ رَأْسُهُ ٱلسَّحَابَ، |
| BSB 7 he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’ | SVD 7 كَجُلَّتِهِ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ يَبِيدُ. ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْهُ يَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ هُوَ؟ |
| BSB 8 He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night. | SVD 8 كَٱلْحُلْمِ يَطِيرُ فَلَا يُوجَدُ، وَيُطْرَدُ كَطَيْفِ ٱللَّيْلِ. |
| BSB 9 The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him. | SVD 9 عَيْنٌ أَبْصَرَتْهُ لَا تَعُودُ تَرَاهُ، وَمَكَانُهُ لَنْ يَرَاهُ بَعْدُ. |
| BSB 10 His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth. | SVD 10 بَنُوهُ يَتَرَضَّوْنَ ٱلْفُقَرَاءَ، وَيَدَاهُ تَرُدَّانِ ثَرْوَتَهُ. |
| BSB 11 The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust. | SVD 11 عِظَامُهُ مَلآنَةٌ شَبِيبَةً، وَمَعَهُ فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ تَضْطَجِعُ. |
| BSB 12 Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue, | SVD 12 إِنْ حَلَا فِي فَمِهِ ٱلشَّرُّ، وَأَخْفَاهُ تَحْتَ لِسَانِهِ، |
| BSB 13 though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth, | SVD 13 أَشْفَقَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْهُ، بَلْ حَبَسَهُ وَسَطَ حَنَكِهِ، |
| BSB 14 yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him. | SVD 14 فَخُبْزُهُ فِي أَمْعَائِهِ يَتَحَوَّلُ، مَرَارَةَ أَصْلَالٍ فِي بَطْنِهِ. |
| BSB 15 He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach. | SVD 15 قَدْ بَلَعَ ثَرْوَةً فَيَتَقَيَّأُهَا. ٱللهُ يَطْرُدُهَا مِنْ بَطْنِهِ. |
| BSB 16 He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him. | SVD 16 سَمَّ ٱلْأَصْلَالِ يَرْضَعُ. يَقْتُلُهُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَفْعَى. |
| BSB 17 He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream. | SVD 17 لَا يَرَى ٱلْجَدَاوِلَ أَنْهَارَ سَوَاقِيَ عَسَلٍ وَلَبَنٍ. |
| BSB 18 He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading. | SVD 18 يَرُدُّ تَعَبَهُ وَلَا يَبْلَعُهُ. كَمَالٍ تَحْتَ رَجْعٍ. وَلَا يَفْرَحُ. |
| BSB 19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build. | SVD 19 لِأَنَّهُ رَضَّضَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينَ، وَتَرَكَهُمْ، وَٱغْتَصَبَ بَيْتًا وَلَمْ يَبْنِهِ. |
| BSB 20 Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure. | SVD 20 لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ فِي بَطْنِهِ قَنَاعَةً، لَا يَنْجُو بِمُشْتَهَاهُ. |
| BSB 21 Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure. | SVD 21 لَيْسَتْ مِنْ أَكْلِهِ بَقِيَّةٌ، لِأَجْلِ ذَلِكَ لَا يَدُومُ خَيْرُهُ. |
| BSB 22 In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him. | SVD 22 مَعَ مِلْءِ رَغْدِهِ يَتَضَايَقُ. تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ يَدُ كُلِّ شَقِيٍّ. |
| BSB 23 When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats. | SVD 23 يَكُونُ عِنْدَمَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ، أَنَّ ٱللهَ يُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِ حُمُوَّ غَضَبِهِ، وَيُمْطِرُهُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ. |
| BSB 24 Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him. | SVD 24 يَفِرُّ مِنْ سِلَاحِ حَدِيدٍ. تَخْرِقُهُ قَوْسُ نُحَاسٍ. |
| BSB 25 It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him. | SVD 25 جَذَبَهُ فَخَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِهِ، وَٱلْبَارِقُ مِنْ مَرَارَتِهِ مَرَقَ. عَلَيْهِ رُعُوبٌ. |
| BSB 26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent. | SVD 26 كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ مُخْتَبَأَةٌ لِذَخَائِرِهِ. تَأْكُلُهُ نَارٌ لَمْ تُنْفَخْ. تَرْعَى ٱلْبَقِيَّةَ فِي خَيْمَتِهِ. |
| BSB 27 The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him. | SVD 27 ٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ تُعْلِنُ إِثْمَهُ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ تَنْهَضُ عَلَيْهِ. |
| BSB 28 The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath. | SVD 28 تَزُولُ غَلَّةُ بَيْتِهِ. تُهْرَاقُ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِهِ. |
| BSB 29 This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.” | SVD 29 هَذَا نَصِيبُ ٱلْإِنْسَانِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مِنْ عِنْدِ ٱللهِ، وَمِيرَاثُ أَمْرِهِ مِنَ ٱلْقَدِيرِ». |
