Chapter:
042
V 001 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
V 002 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be
withholden from thee.
V 003 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I
uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not.
V 004 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and
declare thou unto me.
V 005 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye
seeth thee.
V 006 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
V 007 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto
Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against
thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the
thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
V 008 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go
to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my
servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with
you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which
is right, like my servant Job.
V 009 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the
Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD
also accepted Job.
V 010 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his
friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
V 011 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters,
and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread
with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all
the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a
piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
V 012 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning:
for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a
thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
V 013 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
V 014 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the
second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
V 015 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters
of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
V 016 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons,
and his sons' sons, even four generations.
V 017 So Job died, being old and full of days. |

أيوب يتذلل تائباً
1-
فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ لِلرَّبِّ:
2-
«قَدْ أَدْرَكْتُ أَنَّكَ تَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَلاَ يَتَعَذَّرُ
عَلَيْكَ أَمْرٌ.
3-
تَسْأَلُنِي: مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُخْفِي الْمَشُورَةَ
مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ؟ حَقّاً قَدْ نَطَقْتُ بِأُمُورٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا،
بِعَجَائِبَ تَفُوقُ إِدْرَاكِي.
4-
اسْمَعِ الآنَ وَأَنَا أَتَكَلَّمُ،
أَسْأَلُكَ وَأَنْتَ تُعَلِّمُنِي.
5-
بِسَمْعِ الأُذُنِ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ
عَنْكَ وَالآنَ رَأَتْكَ عَيْنِي،
6-
لِذَلِكَ أَلُومُ نَفْسِي وَأَتُوبُ
مُعَفِّراً ذَاتِي بِالتُّرَابِ وَالرَّمَادِ».
ذبائح المحرقات
7-
وَبَعْدَ أَنِ انْتَهَى
الرَّبُّ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَةِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ لأَلِيفَازَ التَّيْمَانِيِّ:
«لَقَدِ احْتَدَمَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى كِلاَ صَدِيقَيْكَ، لأَنَّكُمْ
لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالصَّوَابِ عَنِّي كَمَا نَطَقَ عَبْدِي أَيُّوبُ.
8-
فَخُذُوا الآنَ لَكُمْ
سَبْعَةَ ثِيرَانٍ وَسَبْعَةَ كِبَاشٍ، وَامْضُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ
وَقَرِّبُوهَا ذَبِيحَةَ مُحْرَقَةٍ عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ،
فَيُصَلِّيَ مِنْ
أَجْلِكُمْ، فَأَعْفُوَ عَنْكُمْ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ، لِئَلاَّ أُعَاقِبَكُمْ
بِمُقْتَضَى حَمَاقَتِكُمْ، لأَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَنْطِقُوا بِالْحَقِّ عَنِّي
كَعَبْدِي أَيُّوبَ».
9-
فَذَهَبَ أَلِيفَازُ التَّيْمَانِيُّ وَبِلْدَدُ
الشُّوحِيُّ وَصُوفَرُ النَّعْمَاتِيُّ وَفَعَلُوا كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ.
وَأَكْرَمَ الرَّبُّ أَيُّوبَ.
بركات الرب على أيوب
10-
وَعِنْدَمَا صَلَّى أَيُّوبُ
مِن أَجْلِ أَصْدِقَائِهِ رَدَّهُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ عُزْلَةِ مَنْفَاهُ،
وَضَاعَفَ كُلَّ مَا كَانَ لَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ.
11-
وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ
إِخْوَتُهُ وَأَخَوَاتُهُ وَكُلُّ مَعَارِفِهِ السَّابِقِينَ،
وَتَنَاوَلُوا مَعَهُ طَعَاماً فِي بَيْتِهِ، وَأَبْدَوْا لَهُ كُلَّ
رِفْقٍ، وَعَزُّوهُ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا أَنْزَلَهُ بِهِ الرَّبُّ مِنْ بَلْوَى،
وَقَدَّمَ لَهُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ بَعْضَ الْمَالِ وَخَاتَماً مِنْ
ذَهَبٍ.
12-
وَبَارَكَ الرَّبُّ آخِرَةَ
أَيُّوبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أُولاَهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ
أَلْفَ خَرُوفٍ وَسِتَّةُ آلافٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ وَأَلْفُ زَوْجٍ مِنَ
الْبَقَرِ وَأَلْفُ أَتَانٍ.
13-
وَرَزَقَهُ اللهُ سَبْعَةَ
بَنِينَ وَثَلاَثَ بَنَاتٍ،
14-
فَدَعَا الأُولَى يَمِيمَةَ،
وَالثَّانِيَةَ قَصِيعَةَ وَالثَّالِثَةَ قَرْنَ هَفُّوكَ.
15-
وَلَمْ
تُوْجَدْ فِي كُلِّ الْبِلاَدِ نِسَاءٌ جَمِيلاَتٌ مِثْلَ بَنَاتِ
أَيُّوبَ، وَوَهَبَهُنَّ أَبُوهُنَّ مِيرَاثاً بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِنَّ.
16-
وَعَاشَ أَيُّوبُ بَعْدَ تَجْرِبَتِهِ مِئَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً،
وَاكْتَحَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ بِرُؤْيَةِ أَبْنَائِهِ وَأَحْفَادِهِ إِلَى
الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ.
17-
ثُمَّ مَاتَ أَيُّوبُ شَيْخاً، وَقَدْ شَبِعَ مِنَ
الأَيَّامِ.
