Job 41
1 Leviathan to cakoih hoi na tathok thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe anih ih palai to qui hoiah na pathlet pae thai tih maw?
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 A hnah to na daw pae moe, anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoiah na taqawt pae thai tih maw?
Canst thou put a rope into his nose? or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3 Anih mah tahmenhaih na hni ueloe, nang khaeah lok kanaem to thui tih maw?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Anih loe hing thung na tamna ah oh hanah, nang khaeah lokmaihaih sah tih maw?
Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
5 Anih to tavaa hoi amhai baktiah nam hai haih han maw? To tih ai boeh loe nangmah ih nongpatanawk hanah anih to qui hoiah na pathlet pae han maw?
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Nam puinawk mah anih han buhraenghaih sah pae tih maw? Anih to hmuen zaw kaminawk khaeah athum o sak tih maw?
Shall the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Sum kamsum hoiah anih ih ahin to na thunh thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe a lu to tanga thunhaih tayae hoiah na thunh thai tih maw?
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?
8 Anih nuiah ban to mah koeng ah, anih tuk hanah poek hmah.
Lay thine hand upon him; remember the battle, and do so no more.
9 Khenah, anih pazawk han poekhaih loe azom pui ni; anih hnu kami loe amthaek bup mak ai maw?
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 Anih to mi mah doeh pahrue thai mak ai; to tiah om nahaeloe mi maw ka hmaa ah angdoe thai tih?
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up: who then is he that can stand before me?
11 Ka sak pathok let hanah mi mah maw na pakaa thai tih? Van tlim ih hmuennawk boih loe kai ih ni.
Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
12 Leviathan ih khokbannawk, a thacakhaih hoi kahoih takpumnawk thui ai ah ka om thai mak ai.
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his comely proportion.
13 Mi mah maw anih ih ahin to khok pae thai tih? Mi mah maw anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoi tathok hanah a taengah caeh thai tih?
Who can strip off his outer garment? who shall come within his double bridle?
14 Mi mah maw anih ih mikhmai thok to paong pae thai tih? Anih ih haanawk loe zit thoh.
Who can open the doors of his face? round about his teeth is terror.
15 Kacak ah catui daeng baktih toengah, kangbok a nui ih ahin loe anih amoekhaih ah oh.
His strong scales are [his] pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.
16 Takhi akun thaih han ai ah, ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet.
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 Ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet moe, kacakah angbet caeng pongah khram thai ai.
They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 Anih pasih naah hmai ampha, a mik loe akhawn bangah pakhrip ih mik baktiah oh.
His neesings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Anih ih pakha thung hoiah hmai aengh hoi hmai kangqong to tacawt.
Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20 Tui tangdawh thlukbuk laom thung hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktih toengah, a hnakhaw thung hoiah hmaikhue to tacawt.
Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, as of a seething pot and [burning] rushes.
21 Anih anghahhaih takhi mah hmaisaae to amngaehsak moe, anih ih pakha thung hoiah kangqong hmai to tacawt.
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
22 Anih ih tahnong ah thacakhaih to oh, anih hmaa ah loe palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah oh.
In his neck abideth strength, and terror danceth before him.
23 Anih ih ngan thaquinawk loe nawnto amraep o, angthui thai ai, cakrap.
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24 Anih ih palung loe thlung baktiah amtak; ue, cang kaehhaih thlung baktiah amtak.
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25 Anih angthawk tahang naah, thacak kaminawk loe zithaih hoiah oh o; anih tamai boh naah om o thai ai.
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: by reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
26 Anih loe sumsen mah caa ai; tayae, palaa hoi ahnuk ahma kamsum tayae mah doeh caa ai.
If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27 Anih loe sum to caphaeh baktiah poek moe, sumkamling doeh kahmawn thing baktiah a poek.
He counteth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
28 Palaa mah anih to cawnsak thai mak ai; lawkthluem doeh tavai baktiah ni a poek.
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Anih han loe thingboeng doeh cangkung baktiah ni oh; tayae hoi takhawh han pahuem naah anih mah pahnuithuih.
Clubs are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
30 Anih ih zok loe kanoe laom koi baktiah oh; tangnong nui ih sum kanoe haa caehhaih ahmuen baktiah oh.
His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: he spreadeth [as it were] a threshing wain upon the mire.
31 Anih mah kathuk tuipui to laom thung ih tangdawh tui baktiah haeh moe, tuipui to laom nokhaih moithawk baktiah a sak.
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like ointment.
32 A caeh taak ih loklam loe ampha pongah, tuipui loe sam kanglung baktiah oh.
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Anih baktiah zithaih tawn ai ah sak ih hmuen maeto doeh long nuiah om ai.
Upon earth there is not his like, that is made without fear.
34 Anih loe kasang hmuennawk to khet; anih loe amoekhaih hmuennawk boih ih siangpahrang ah oh, tiah a naa.
He beholdeth every thing that is high: he is king over all the sons of pride.
