دفتر دوم - بخش ۱۳ - تمامی قصهٔ زنده شدن استخوانها به دعای عیسی علیه السلام / Book Two - Section 13 - The Complete Story of the Resurrection of the Bones by the Prayer of Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

خواند عیسی نام حق بر استخواناز برای التماس آن جوان
Jesus recited God's name over the bones,
At the entreaty of that young man.
حکم یزدان از پی آن خام مردصورت آن استخوان را زنده کرد
God's command, for the sake of that raw man,
Gave living form to those bones.
از میان بر جست یک شیر سیاهپنجه ای زد کرد نقشش را تباه
From their midst a black lion leaped forth;
It struck one paw-blow and destroyed his form.
کله اش بر کند مغزش ریخت زودمغز جوزی کاندرو مغزی نبود
It tore off his head and quickly spilled his brain,
The brain of a walnut in which there was no kernel.
گر ورا مغزی بدی اشکستنشخود نبودی نقص الا بر تنش
Had he possessed a kernel, its breaking
Would have been no loss except to his body.
گفت عیسی چون شتابش کوفتیگفت زان رو که تو زو آشوفتی
Jesus said, "Why did you strike him so hastily?"
It said, "Because you were troubled by him."
گفت عیسی چون نخوردی خون مردگفت در قسمت نبودم رزق خورد
Jesus said, "Why did you not drink the man's blood?"
It said, "It was not allotted to me as food."
ای بسا کس همچو آن شیر ژیانصید خود ناخورده رفته از جهان
How many a person, like that fierce lion,
Has gone from the world without eating his own prey.
قسمتش کاهی نه و حرصش چو کوهوجه نه و کرده تحصیل وجوه
His portion is not even a straw, yet his greed is like a mountain;
He has no resources, yet he has been seeking resources.
ای میسر کرده بر ما در جهانسخره و بیگار ما را وا رهان
O You who have made things easy for us in the world,
Free us from our forced service and unpaid toil.
طعمه بنموده بما وان بوده شستآنچنان بنما بما آن را که هست
You showed us bait, but that bait was a hook;
Show it to us as it truly is.
گفت آن شیر ای مسیحا این شکاربود خالص از برای اعتبار
That lion said, "O Messiah, this prey
Was purely for instruction.
گر مرا روزی بدی اندر جهانخود چه کارستی مرا با مردگان
If I had sustenance in the world,
What business would I have with the dead?"
این سزای آنک یابد آب صافهمچو خر در جو بمیزد از گزاف
This is the reward of one who finds clear water
And, like a donkey, urinates wantonly in the stream.
گر بداند قیمت آن جوی خراو به جای پا نهد در جوی سر
If the donkey knew the worth of that stream,
It would place its head, not its foot, in the stream.
او بیابد آنچنان پیغامبریمیر آبی زندگانی پروری
It would find such a prophet,
A prince of water, a nurturer of life.
چون نمیرد پیش او کز امر کنای امیر آب ما را زنده کن
How would it not die before him, saying, by the command 'Be,'
"O prince of water, make us live"?
هین سگ نفس ترا زنده مخواهکو عدو جان تست از دیرگاه
Take heed: do not ask that the dog of your nafs be made alive,
For it has long been the enemy of your soul.
خاک بر سر استخوانی را که آنمانع این سگ بود از صید جان
Dust on the head of any bone that
Would keep this dog from hunting the soul.
سگ نه ای بر استخوان چون عاشقیدیوچه وار از چه بر خون عاشقی
You are not a dog: why are you in love with a bone?
Like a little demon, why are you in love with blood?
آن چه چشمست آن که بیناییش نیستز امتحانها جز که رسواییش نیست
What kind of eye is one that has no sight?
From trials it gains nothing but disgrace.
سهو باشد ظنها را گاه گاهاین چه ظنست این که کور آمد ز راه
Conjectures may sometimes be mistaken;
But what sort of conjecture is this, blind from the road?
دیده آ بر دیگران نوحه گریمدتی بنشین و بر خود می گری
You have come as a mourner for others;
Sit a while and weep for yourself.
ز ابر گریان شاخ سبز و تر شودزانک شمع از گریه روشن تر شود
From the weeping cloud the branch grows green and fresh,
For the candle becomes brighter through weeping.
هر کجا نوحه کنند آنجا نشینزانک تو اولیتری اندر حنین
Wherever they lament, sit there,
For you are more entitled to lamentation.
زانک ایشان در فراق فانی اندغافل از لعل بقای کانی اند
For they are in separation from the perishing,
Heedless of the ruby of abidingness in the mine.
زانک بر دل نقش تقلیدست بندرو به آب چشم بندش را برند
For the imprint of imitation is a fetter on the heart;
Go, with the water of the eye, carry away its fetter.
زانک تقلید آفت هر نیکویستکه بود تقلید اگر کوه قویست
For imitation is the bane of every excellence;
What is imitation, even if it is a mighty mountain?
گر ضریری لمترست و تیز خشمگوشت پاره ش دان چو او را نیست چشم
If a blind man is stubborn and quick-tempered,
Regard him as a piece of flesh, since he has no eye.
گر سخن گوید ز مو باریکترآن سرش را زان سخن نبود خبر
Even if he speaks more finely than a hair,
His head has no knowledge of that speech.
مستیی دارد ز گفت خود ولیکاز بر وی تا به می راهیست نیک
He is intoxicated by his own speech, yet
From him to the wine there is a long road indeed.
همچو جویست او نه او آبی خوردآب ازو بر آب خوران بگذرد
He is like a stream: he himself drinks no water;
The water passes through him to those who drink.
آب در جو زان نمی گیرد قرارزانک آن جو نیست تشنه و آب خوار
Water does not remain in the stream
Because that stream is not thirsty or a water-drinker.
همچو نایی نالهٔ زاری کندلیک بیگار خریداری کند
Like a reed-flute he makes a plaintive moan,
But he toils as hired labor for a buyer.
نوحه گر باشد مقلد در حدیثجز طمع نبود مراد آن خبیث
The imitator is a mourner in discourse;
That wretch's aim is nothing but greed.
نوحه گر گوید حدیث سوزناکلیک کو سوز دل و دامان چاک
The mourner tells a burning tale,
But where are the heart's burning and the torn garment?
از محقق تا مقلد فرقهاستکین چو داوودست و آن دیگر صداست
There are many differences between the realized one and the imitator:
This one is like David, and the other is only an echo.
منبع گفتار این سوزی بودوان مقلد کهنه آموزی بود
The source of this one's speech is burning;
That imitator is merely schooled in old learning.
هین مشو غره بدان گفت حزینبار بر گاوست و بر گردون حنین
Take heed: do not be deluded by that sorrowful speech;
The load is on the ox, and the groaning is from the cart.
هم مقلد نیست محروم از ثوابنوحه گر را مزد باشد در حساب
Still, the imitator is not deprived of reward;
The mourner has wages in the reckoning.
کافر و مؤمن خدا گویند لیکدرمیان هر دو فرقی هست نیک
Unbeliever and believer both say 'God,'
But between the two there is a great difference.
آن گدا گوید خدا از بهر نانمتقی گوید خدا از عین جان
That beggar says 'God' for the sake of bread;
The God-fearing one says 'God' from the very soul.
گر بدانستی گدا از گفت خویشپیش چشم او نه کم ماندی نه بیش
If the beggar knew what his own saying meant,
Before his eyes neither less nor more would remain.
سالها گوید خدا آن نان خواههمچو خر مصحف کشد از بهر کاه
For years that bread-seeker says 'God,'
Like a donkey carrying a Qur'an for the sake of straw.
گر به دل در تافتی گفت لبشذره ذره گشته بودی قالبش
If the utterance of his lips shone into his heart,
His body would have become particle by particle.
نام دیوی ره برد در ساحریتو به نام حق پشیزی می بری
A demon's name opens a path in sorcery;
You, with the name of God, gain not a penny.
