“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?

Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?

Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8 Di da e afaewane digili ba: lu, eno hamedafa digili ba: mu. Bai e da dima gegei amo di da hamedafa gogolemu.
If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
9 Nowa da Lifaiada: ne ba: sea, beda: ga gasa hamedene, osoba diadaha.
Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?
10 Dunu da e ougima: ne didilisisia, e da mi hanaidafa ba: sa. Dunu afae da ea midadi gadenene aligimu hamedei ba: mu.
No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?
11 Nowa da e doagala: sea, se hame nabi ba: ma: bela: ? Osobo bagade dunu afae da amane hamomu hamedei.
Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
12 Na Lifaiada: ne ea emo ea hou dima adomu galebe. Ea gasa bagade hou amola dima olelemu.
I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.
13 Dunu huluane da ea dabua gadofo houga: mu da hamedei. Amola ea da: igene ga: su amo somu hamedei.
Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?
14 E da bese agesoi bagade gala. Ea lafi dagama: ne, nowa da sesema: bela: ?
Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?
15 Ea baligi da da: igene ga: su dadalesu amoga hamoi. Ilia da madelagili la: la: gi, amola igi defele ga: nasi gala.
His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.
16 Afae afae da enoma gilisili disisibiba: le, mifo da ili adobodili masunu logo hame ba: sa.
One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.
17 Ilia da noga: le gilisimusa: madelagiba: le, afafamu da hamedei.
They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.
18 Lifaiada: ne da hadisia: sea, hadigi agoai nene gala: sa. Amola ea si da eso mabe ea hadigi agoai ba: sa.
His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19 Ea lafidili, lalu gona: su agoai gadili ahoa. Amola ea lafidili, lalu geso bagohame gadili ahoa.
Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!
20 Ea mi gelabodili, lalu mobi (amo da gagalobo osobo ofodo hagududili nebe defele) da maha.
Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21 Ea mifoga lalu nema: ne fulabosa. Ea lafidili, lalu gona: su da heloagala: sa.
His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.
22 Ea galogoa da gasa bagadeba: le, ema doaga: be dunu huluane da beda: gia: sa.
Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.
23 Ea gadofoa dibi asaboi da hame ba: sa. Ea gadofo da ouli defele, ga: nasidafa.
The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
24 Ea dogo da widi goudasu igi agoai, ga: nasidafa. E da beda: su hamedafa dawa:
His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!
25 E da wa: legadosea, baligili gasa bagade dunu amolawane da beda: gia: sa. Ilia da bagadewane beda: iba: le, hahanidafa ba: sa.
When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.
26 E fofa: gimusa: , gegesu gobihei da hamedafa gala. Goge agei, amola dadi da ema se ima: ne hamedafa gala.
The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.
27 E da ouli, amo gisi defele, gasa hamedei ba: sa. Amola e da balase amo ifa dasai defele ba: sa.
He regards iron as straw and bronze as rotten wood.
28 E da dadi gala: be amoga hobeamusa: ; hame dawa: Dunu da ema gelega gala: be da gisi bioiga gala: be agoane hagisa.
No arrow can make him flee; slingstones become like chaff to him.
29 Ea ba: sea, gegesu gigi da gisi biole hagi agoai ba: sa, amola dunu da ema dadiga gala: sea, e da amoba: le ousa.
A club is regarded as straw, and he laughs at the sound of the lance.
30 Ea hagomo gagi da laga osoboga hamoi ofodo gagoudane fofonoboi defele ba: sa. Ilia da osobo gidinasu defele, fafu osobo dogonana.
His undersides are jagged potsherds, spreading out the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 E da hano wayabo bagade, hano gobei dubu heda: be agoai amola susuligi di bubunuma heda: be agoai, hamosa.
He makes the depths seethe like a cauldron; he makes the sea like a jar of ointment.
32 E da hano wayabo bagade da: iya ahoasea, e da ela: mei logo agoane hamosa. E da hano dubu foloai agoai hamosa.
He leaves a glistening wake behind him; one would think the deep had white hair!
33 Osobo bagadega, e agoai hame ba: sa. E da beda: su hamedafa dawa:
Nothing on earth is his equal— a creature devoid of fear!
34 E da hidale, eno ohe fi huluane ilima ba: le gudusa. E da sigua ohe fi huluane ilima hina bagade agoai esala.
He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.”
