| BSB 1 Then Job answered: | SVD 1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: |
| BSB 2 “Listen carefully to my words; let this be your consolation to me. | SVD 2 «اِسْمَعُوا قَوْلِي سَمْعًا، وَلْيَكُنْ هَذَا تَعْزِيَتَكُمْ. |
| BSB 3 Bear with me while I speak; then, after I have spoken, you may go on mocking. | SVD 3 اِحْتَمِلُونِي وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ، وَبَعْدَ كَلَامِي ٱسْتَهْزِئُوا. |
| BSB 4 Is my complaint against a man? Then why should I not be impatient? | SVD 4 أَمَّا أَنَا فَهَلْ شَكْوَايَ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ، فَلِمَاذَا لَا تَضِيقُ رُوحِي؟ |
| BSB 5 Look at me and be appalled; put your hand over your mouth. | SVD 5 تَفَرَّسُوا فِيَّ وَتَعَجَّبُوا وَضَعُوا ٱلْيَدَ عَلَى ٱلْفَمِ. |
| BSB 6 When I remember, terror takes hold, and my body trembles in horror. | SVD 6 «عِنْدَمَا أَتَذَكَّرُ أَرْتَاعُ، وَأَخَذَتْ بَشَرِي رِعْدَةٌ. |
| BSB 7 Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power? | SVD 7 لِمَاذَا تَحْيَا ٱلْأَشْرَارُ وَيَشِيخُونَ، نَعَمْ وَيَتَجَبَّرُونَ قُوَّةً؟ |
| BSB 8 Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes. | SVD 8 نَسْلُهُمْ قَائِمٌ أَمَامَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ، وَذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ. |
| BSB 9 Their homes are safe from fear; no rod of punishment from God is upon them. | SVD 9 بُيُوتُهُمْ آمِنَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَصَا ٱللهِ. |
| BSB 10 Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry. | SVD 10 ثَوْرُهُمْ يُلْقِحُ وَلَا يُخْطِئُ. بَقَرَتُهُمْ تُنْتِجُ وَلَا تُسْقِطُ. |
| BSB 11 They send forth their little ones like a flock; their children skip about, | SVD 11 يُسْرِحُونَ مِثْلَ ٱلْغَنَمِ رُضَّعَهُمْ، وَأَطْفَالُهُمْ تَرْقُصُ. |
| BSB 12 singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute. | SVD 12 يَحْمِلُونَ ٱلدُّفَّ وَٱلْعُودَ، وَيُطْرِبُونَ بِصَوْتِ ٱلْمِزْمَارِ. |
| BSB 13 They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol in peace. | SVD 13 يَقْضُونَ أَيَّامَهُمْ بِٱلْخَيْرِ. فِي لَحْظَةٍ يَهْبِطُونَ إِلَى ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ. |
| BSB 14 Yet they say to God: ‘Leave us alone! For we have no desire to know Your ways. | SVD 14 فَيَقُولُونَ لِلهِ: ٱبْعُدْ عَنَّا، وَبِمَعْرِفَةِ طُرُقِكَ لَا نُسَرُّ. |
| BSB 15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain if we pray to Him?’ | SVD 15 مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْقَدِيرُ حَتَّى نَعْبُدَهُ؟ وَمَاذَا نَنْتَفِعُ إِنِ ٱلْتَمَسْنَاهُ؟ |
| BSB 16 Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked. | SVD 16 «هُوَذَا لَيْسَ فِي يَدِهِمْ خَيْرُهُمْ. لِتَبْعُدْ عَنِّي مَشُورَةُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ. |
| BSB 17 How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction? | SVD 17 كَمْ يَنْطَفِئُ سِرَاجُ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَيَأْتِي عَلَيْهِمْ بَوَارُهُمْ؟ أَوْ يَقْسِمُ لَهُمْ أَوْجَاعًا فِي غَضَبِهِ؟ |
| BSB 18 Are they like straw before the wind, like chaff swept away by a storm? | SVD 18 أَوْ يَكُونُونَ كَٱلتِّبْنِ قُدَّامَ ٱلرِّيحِ، وَكَالْعُصَافَةِ ٱلَّتِي تَسْرِقُهَا ٱلزَّوْبَعَةُ؟ |
| BSB 19 It is said that God lays up one’s punishment for his children. Let God repay the man himself, so he will know it. | SVD 19 ٱللهُ يَخْزِنُ إِثْمَهُ لِبَنِيهِ. لِيُجَازِهِ نَفْسَهُ فَيَعْلَمَ. |
| BSB 20 Let his eyes see his own destruction; let him drink for himself the wrath of the Almighty. | SVD 20 لِتَنْظُرْ عَيْنَاهُ هَلَاكَهُ، وَمِنْ حُمَةِ ٱلْقَدِيرِ يَشْرَبْ. |
| BSB 21 For what does he care about his household after him, when the number of his months has run out? | SVD 21 فَمَا هِيَ مَسَرَّتُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ بَعْدَهُ، وَقَدْ تَعَيَّنَ عَدَدُ شُهُورِهِ؟ |
| BSB 22 Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since He judges those on high? | SVD 22 «أَٱللهُ يُعَلَّمُ مَعْرِفَةً، وَهُوَ يَقْضِي عَلَى ٱلْعَالِينَ؟ |
| BSB 23 One man dies full of vigor, completely secure and at ease. | SVD 23 هَذَا يَمُوتُ فِي عَيْنِ كَمَالِهِ. كُلُّهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ وَسَاكِنٌ. |
| BSB 24 His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow. | SVD 24 أَحْوَاضُهُ مَلآنَةٌ لَبَنًا، وَمُخُّ عِظَامِهِ طَرِيٌّ. |
| BSB 25 Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity. | SVD 25 وَذَلِكَ يَمُوتُ بِنَفْسٍ مُرَّةٍ وَلَمْ يَذُقْ خَيْرًا. |
| BSB 26 But together they lie down in the dust, and worms cover them both. | SVD 26 كِلَاهُمَا يَضْطَجِعَانِ مَعًا فِي ٱلتُّرَابِ وَٱلدُّودُ يَغْشَاهُمَا. |
| BSB 27 Behold, I know your thoughts full well, the schemes by which you would wrong me. | SVD 27 «هُوَذَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَفْكَارَكُمْ وَٱلنِّيَّاتِ ٱلَّتِي بِهَا تَظْلِمُونَنِي. |
| BSB 28 For you say, ‘Where now is the nobleman’s house, and where are the tents in which the wicked dwell?’ | SVD 28 لِأَنَّكُمْ تَقُولُونَ: أَيْنَ بَيْتُ ٱلْعَاتِي؟ وَأَيْنَ خَيْمَةُ مَسَاكِنِ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ؟ |
| BSB 29 Have you never asked those who travel the roads? Do you not accept their reports? | SVD 29 أَفَلَمْ تَسْأَلُوا عَابِرِي ٱلسَّبِيلِ، وَلَمْ تَفْطِنُوا لِدَلَائِلِهِمْ؟ |
| BSB 30 Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of calamity, delivered from the day of wrath. | SVD 30 إِنَّهُ لِيَوْمِ ٱلْبَوَارِ يُمْسَكُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ. لِيَوْمِ ٱلسَّخَطِ يُقَادُونَ. |
| BSB 31 Who denounces his behavior to his face? Who repays him for what he has done? | SVD 31 مَنْ يُعْلِنُ طَرِيقَهُ لِوَجْهِهِ؟ وَمَنْ يُجَازِيهِ عَلَى مَا عَمِلَ؟ |
| BSB 32 He is carried to the grave, and watch is kept over his tomb. | SVD 32 هُوَ إِلَى ٱلْقُبُورِ يُقَادُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْمَدْفَنِ يُسْهَرُ. |
| BSB 33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him; everyone follows behind him, and those before him are without number. | SVD 33 حُلْوٌ لَهُ مَدَرُ ٱلْوَادِي. يَزْحَفُ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ وَرَاءَهُ، وَقُدَّامَهُ مَا لَا عَدَدَ لَهُ. |
| BSB 34 So how can you comfort me with empty words? For your answers remain full of falsehood.” | SVD 34 فَكَيْفَ تُعَزُّونَنِي بَاطِلًا وَأَجْوِبَتُكُمْ بَقِيَتْ خِيَانَةً؟». |
