| BSB 1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. | NAV 1 ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ أَيُّوبُ، فَشَتَمَ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ، |
| BSB 2 And this is what he said: | NAV 2 وَقَالَ: |
| BSB 3 “May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’ | NAV 3 «لَيْتَهُ بَادَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدْتُ فِيهِ، وَفَنِيَ اللَّيْلُ الَّذِي قِيلَ فِيهِ: قَدْ حُبِلَ بِطِفْلٍ ذَكَرٍ. |
| BSB 4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it. | NAV 4 لِيَتَحَوَّلْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ إِلَى ظَلامٍ. لَا يَرْعَاهُ اللهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ، وَلا يُشْرِقُ عَلَيْهِ نَهَارٌ. |
| BSB 5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it. | NAV 5 لِيَسْتَوْلِ عَلَيْهِ الظَّلامُ وَظِلُّ الْمَوْتِ. لِيَكْتَنِفْهُ سَحَابٌ وَلْتُرَوِّعْهُ ظُلُمَاتُ النَّهَارِ. |
| BSB 6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months. | NAV 6 أَمَّا ذَلِكَ اللَّيْلُ فَلْيَعْتَقِلْهُ الدُّجَى الْمُتَكَاثِفُ، وَلا يَبْتَهِجْ مَعَ سَائِرِ أَيَّامِ السَّنَةِ، وَلا يُحْصَ فِي عَدَدِ الشُّهُورِ. |
| BSB 7 Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it. | NAV 7 لِيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ اللَّيْلُ عَاقِراً، لَا يَتَرَدَّدُ فِيهِ هُتَافٌ. |
| BSB 8 May it be cursed by those who curse the day—those prepared to rouse Leviathan. | NAV 8 لِيَلْعَنْهُ السَّحَرَةُ الْحَاذِقُونَ فِي إِيْقَاظِ التِّنِّينِ! |
| BSB 9 May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn. | NAV 9 لِتُظْلِمْ كَوَاكِبُ شَفَقِهِ، وَلْيَرْتَقِبِ النُّورَ مِنْ غَيْرِ طَائِلٍ، وَلا يَرَ هُدُبَ الْفَجْرِ، |
| BSB 10 For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes. | NAV 10 لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُغْلِقْ رَحِمَ أُمِّي وَلَمْ يَسْتُرِ الشَّقَاءَ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ. |
| BSB 11 Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb? | NAV 11 لِمَ لَمْ أَمُتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ، وَلِمَ لَمْ أُسْلِمِ الرُّوحَ عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّي؟ |
| BSB 12 Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed? | NAV 12 لِمَاذَا وَجَدْتُ الرُّكَبَ لِتُعِينَنَي وَالثُّدِيَّ لِتُرْضِعَنِي؟ |
| BSB 13 For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest | NAV 13 وَإلَّا لَظَلَلْتُ مُضْطَجِعاً سَاكِناً، وَلَكُنْتُ نَائِماً مُسْتَرِيحاً |
| BSB 14 with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins, | NAV 14 مَعَ مُلُوكِ الأَرْضِ وَمُشِيرِيهَا، الَّذِينَ بَنَوْا أَهْرَاماً لأَنْفُسِهِمْ. |
| BSB 15 or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. | NAV 15 أَوْ مَعَ الرُّؤَسَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَنَزُوا ذَهَباً وَمَلأُوا بُيُوتَهُمْ فِضَّةً. |
| BSB 16 Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight? | NAV 16 أَوْ لِمَاذَا لَمْ أُطْمَرْ فِي الأَرْضِ كَسِقْطٍ لَمْ يَرَ النُّورَ؟ |
| BSB 17 There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest. | NAV 17 فَهُنَاكَ يَكُفُّ الأَشْرَارُ عَنْ إِثَارَةِ الْمَتَاعِبِ، وَهُنَاكَ يَرْتَاحُ الْمُرْهَقُونَ. |
| BSB 18 The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor. | NAV 18 هُنَاكَ يَطْمَئِنُّ الأَسْرَى جَمِيعاً، إِذْ لَا يُلاحِقُهُمْ صَوْتُ الْمُسَخِّرِ. |
| BSB 19 Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master. | NAV 19 هُنَاكَ يَكُونُ الصَّغِيرُ كَالْكَبِيرِ، وَالْعَبْدُ مُتَحَرِّراً مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. |
| BSB 20 Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul, | NAV 20 لِمَ يُوْهَبُ الشَّقِيُّ نُوراً، وَذَوُو النُّفُوسِ الْمُرَّةِ حَيَاةً؟ |
| BSB 21 who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure, | NAV 21 الَّذِينَ يَتُوقُونَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ فَلا يُقْبِلُ، وَيَنْقُبُونَ عَنْهُ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يَنْقُبُونَ عَنِ الْكُنُوزِ الْخَفِيَّةِ، |
| BSB 22 who rejoice and greatly exult when they reach the grave? | NAV 22 الَّذِينَ يَنْتَشُونَ غِبْطَةً، وَيَسْتَبْشِرُونَ حِينَ يَعْثُرُونَ عَلَى ضَرِيحٍ! |
| BSB 23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? | NAV 23 بَلْ لِمَاذَا يُوْهَبُ نُورٌ وَحَيَاةٌ لِرَجُلٍ ضَلَّتْ بِهِ طَرِيقُهُ، وَسَدَّ اللهُ حَوْلَهُ؟ |
| BSB 24 I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water. | NAV 24 اسْتَبْدَلْتُ طَعَامِي بِالأَنِينِ، وَزَفْرَتِي تَنْسَكِبُ كَالْمِيَاهِ، |
| BSB 25 For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me. | NAV 25 لأَنَّهُ قَدْ حَلَّ بِي مَا كُنْتُ أَخْشَاهُ، وَأَصَابَنِي مَا كُنْتُ أَرْتَعِبُ مِنْهُ. |
| BSB 26 I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.” | NAV 26 فَلا طُمَأْنِينَةَ لِي وَلا اسْتَقْرَارَ وَلا رَاحَةَ، بَعْدَ أَنِ اجْتَاحَتْنِي الْكُرُوبُ». |
