| BSB 1 Then Job answered: | SVD 1 فَأَجَابَ أَيُّوبُ وَقَالَ: |
| BSB 2 “Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God? | SVD 2 «صَحِيحٌ. قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ كَذَا، فَكَيْفَ يَتَبَرَّرُ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ عِنْدَ ٱللهِ؟ |
| BSB 3 If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand. | SVD 3 إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُحَاجَّهُ، لَا يُجِيبُهُ عَنْ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَلْفٍ. |
| BSB 4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered? | SVD 4 هُوَ حَكِيمُ ٱلْقَلْبِ وَشَدِيدُ ٱلْقُوَّةِ. مَنْ تَصَلَّبَ عَلَيْهِ فَسَلِمَ؟ |
| BSB 5 He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger. | SVD 5 ٱلْمُزَحْزِحُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَلَا تَعْلَمُ، ٱلَّذِي يَقْلِبُهَا فِي غَضَبِهِ. |
| BSB 6 He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble. | SVD 6 ٱلْمُزَعْزِعُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْ مَقَرِّهَا، فَتَتَزَلْزَلُ أَعْمِدَتُهَا. |
| BSB 7 He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars. | SVD 7 ٱلْآمِرُ ٱلشَّمْسَ فَلَا تُشْرِقُ، وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى ٱلنُّجُومِ. |
| BSB 8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. | SVD 8 ٱلْبَاسِطُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَحْدَهُ، وَٱلْمَاشِي عَلَى أَعَالِي ٱلْبَحْرِ. |
| BSB 9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. | SVD 9 صَانِعُ ٱلنَّعْشِ وَٱلْجَبَّارِ وَٱلثُّرَيَّا وَمَخَادِعِ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. |
| BSB 10 He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number. | SVD 10 فَاعِلُ عَظَائِمَ لَا تُفْحَصُ، وَعَجَائِبَ لَا تُعَدُّ. |
| BSB 11 Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him. | SVD 11 «هُوَذَا يَمُرُّ عَلَيَّ وَلَا أَرَاهُ، وَيَجْتَازُ فَلَا أَشْعُرُ بِهِ. |
| BSB 12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’ | SVD 12 إِذَا خَطَفَ فَمَنْ يَرُدُّهُ؟ وَمَنْ يَقُولُ لَهُ: مَاذَا تَفْعَلُ؟ |
| BSB 13 God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him. | SVD 13 ٱللهُ لَا يَرُدُّ غَضَبَهُ. يَنْحَنِي تَحْتَهُ أَعْوَانُ رَهَبَ. |
| BSB 14 How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him? | SVD 14 كَمْ بِٱلْأَقَلِّ أَنَا أُجَاوِبُهُ وَأَخْتَارُ كَلَامِي مَعَهُ؟ |
| BSB 15 For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy. | SVD 15 لِأَنِّي وَإِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ لَا أُجَاوِبُ، بَلْ أَسْتَرْحِمُ دَيَّانِي. |
| BSB 16 If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice. | SVD 16 لَوْ دَعَوْتُ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي، لَمَا آمَنْتُ بِأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ صَوْتِي. |
| BSB 17 For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause. | SVD 17 ذَاكَ ٱلَّذِي يَسْحَقُنِي بِٱلْعَاصِفَةِ، وَيُكْثِرُ جُرُوحِي بِلَا سَبَبٍ. |
| BSB 18 He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness. | SVD 18 لَا يَدَعُنِي آخُذُ نَفَسِي، وَلَكِنْ يُشْبِعُنِي مَرَائِرَ. |
| BSB 19 If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him? | SVD 19 إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ جِهَةِ قُوَّةِ ٱلْقَوِيِّ، يَقُولُ: هَأَنَذَا. وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱلْقَضَاءِ يَقُولُ: مَنْ يُحَاكِمُنِي؟ |
| BSB 20 Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty. | SVD 20 إِنْ تَبَرَّرْتُ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيَّ فَمِي، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ كَامِلًا يَسْتَذْنِبُنِي. |
| BSB 21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life. | SVD 21 «كَامِلٌ أَنَا. لَا أُبَالِي بِنَفْسِي. رَذَلْتُ حَيَاتِي. |
| BSB 22 It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’ | SVD 22 هِيَ وَاحِدَةٌ. لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: إِنَّ ٱلْكَامِلَ وَٱلشِّرِّيرَ هُوَ يُفْنِيهِمَا. |
| BSB 23 When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent. | SVD 23 إِذَا قَتَلَ ٱلسَّوْطُ بَغْتَةً، يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِتَجْرِبَةِ ٱلْأَبْرِيَاءِ. |
| BSB 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it? | SVD 24 ٱلْأَرْضُ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لِيَدِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ. يُغَشِّي وُجُوهَ قُضَاتِهَا. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ هُوَ، فَإِذًا مَنْ؟ |
| BSB 25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good. | SVD 25 أَيَّامِي أَسْرَعُ مِنْ عَدَّاءٍ، تَفِرُّ وَلَا تَرَى خَيْرًا. |
| BSB 26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey. | SVD 26 تَمُرُّ مَعَ سُفُنِ ٱلْبَرْدِيِّ. كَنَسْرٍ يَنْقَضُّ إِلَى قَنَصِهِ. |
| BSB 27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’ | SVD 27 إِنْ قُلْتُ: أَنْسَى كُرْبَتِي، أُطْلِقُ وَجْهِي وَأَتَبَلَّجُ، |
| BSB 28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me. | SVD 28 أَخَافُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَوْجَاعِي عَالِمًا أَنَّكَ لَا تُبَرِّئُنِي. |
| BSB 29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain? | SVD 29 أَنَا مُسْتَذْنَبٌ، فَلِمَاذَا أَتْعَبُ عَبَثًا؟ |
| BSB 30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye, | SVD 30 وَلَوِ ٱغْتَسَلْتُ فِي ٱلثَّلْجِ، وَنَظَّفْتُ يَدَيَّ بِٱلْإِشْنَانِ، |
| BSB 31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me. | SVD 31 فَإِنَّكَ فِي ٱلنَّقْعِ تَغْمِسُنِي حَتَّى تَكْرَهَنِي ثِيَابِي. |
| BSB 32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court. | SVD 32 لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ هُوَ إِنْسَانًا مِثْلِي فَأُجَاوِبَهُ، فَنَأْتِي جَمِيعًا إِلَى ٱلْمُحَاكَمَةِ. |
| BSB 33 Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both. | SVD 33 لَيْسَ بَيْنَنَا مُصَالِحٌ يَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى كِلَيْنَا. |
| BSB 34 Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me. | SVD 34 لِيَرْفَعْ عَنِّي عَصَاهُ وَلَا يَبْغَتْنِي رُعْبُهُ. |
| BSB 35 Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own. | SVD 35 إِذًا أَتَكَلَّمُ وَلَا أَخَافُهُ، لِأَنِّي لَسْتُ هَكَذَا عِنْدَ نَفْسِي. |
