بخش ۵۵ - صفة مقادیر ابروج والکواکب السیّارة / Section 55 - On the Description of the Sizes of the Constellations and the Wandering Stars

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

غافلند این منجمان از کارنیست در کارشان دل بیدار
These astrologers are ignorant of their work;
there is no awakened heart in their endeavors.
همه را زرق و حیلت است آلتنیست از علم و حلمشان عدت
Deception and trickery are their only tools;
they have no share of knowledge and forbearance.
شمس کز کره هست در مقدارز صد و بیست و چار بار شمار
The Sun, which in magnitude compared to the Earth
is counted as one hundred and twenty-four times larger,
خانه او را اسد نهادستنددور دور از خرد فتادستند
they have designated Leo as its house—
how far, how far they have fallen from reason!
زهره کز ربع کره بیگانه ستثور و میزان ورا چرا خانه ست
Venus, which is a stranger to even a quarter of the Earth's size,
why should Taurus and Libra be its houses?
نیست تیر از کره یکی اجزابا دو خانه است سنبله و جوزا
Mercury is not even a single fraction of the Earth's sphere,
yet it has two houses: Virgo and Gemini.
نیست در کارشان بسی تمییزخیز و بر ریش آن منجم تیز
There is not much discernment in their practice;
arise and mock the beard of that astrologer!
می نویسند خیره بر تقویمنیک و بد بر عموم اینت حکیم
They write blindly in the almanac,
assigning good and bad fortunes to the public—what a 'wise man'!
بس تبجح کنند بر دانشهیچ دانش نداده یزدانش
They boast greatly of their knowledge,
though God has granted them no knowledge at all.
نیست فرقی میان مردم دهرهمه یکسان بود طوالع شهر
There is no difference among the people of the world;
the horoscopes of the whole city are identical.
همه بادست حکم باد انگارتو ز احکام خیره دست بدار
All their judgments are wind; consider them as wind,
and wash your hands of these foolish rulings.
نیست جز هرزه مندل و تنجیمزن بود سغبهٔ چنین تعلیم
The magic circle and astrology are nothing but nonsense;
only the gullible are duped by such teachings.
سخن فال گو ندارد سودباد پیمود کآسمان پیمود
The words of the fortune-teller have no benefit;
he who measured the heavens merely measured the wind.
نیست الا به قدرت یزداننیک و بد در طبایع و ارکان
There is nothing, except by the power of God,
that is good or bad in temperaments and elements.
بی قضا خلق یک نفس نزندمرد عاقل چنین جرس نزند
Without divine decree, creation cannot draw a single breath;
a wise man does not sound such a hollow bell.
