< Job 41 >
1 Ngakoija Leviathan namat thei ding ham? Ahiloule aha a khaokol nabu peh thei ding ham?
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 Anahhom sunga khao nathil lut theija, ahiloule akhalhang thihhem a nasut vang thei ding ham?
Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3 Nakhoto ding ngeh na a, hung taova ahiloule nalainat pi dinga hung tao tuntun nam?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Ahinkho a nasoh a panga nanatong dinga nanop peh ding hinam?
Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
5 Nangin hiche khu vacha banga nangailut bol thei hiya, ahiloule nachapang neunu kichepna dinga napeh thei ding ham?
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Kivei mihon athiljoh nau mun ho a joh dinga ahung kichoh diu hinam?
Will the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
7 Avun khu tengcha a nasut khah theija, ahiloule aluchang ngathal a nakap khah thei ding ham?
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
8 Achunga nakhut ngam in lang hile chun kidounan ahin jui ding khu geldoh in natin, avel a nabol patep kit lou hel ding ahitai.
Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.
9 Ahipoi hiche mat ding got chu phatchomna bei ahin, sadel hatpa thiltup jong chu kisuhnem peh ding ahi.
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 Chuleh a itih a koima chan asuhnoh phah ngamlou ahin, koiham kamasanga ding ngam ding chu.
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?
11 Kangaichat pet tah a kalepeh kit ding thil eipe chu koi ham? Vannoija thil umjouse hi keija ahi.
Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
12 Leviathan tibah ho hoidan chuleh athahat oupe dan chule agongso hoidan ho kasei nomme.
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
13 Avun khu kon alahdoh peh theija chule athoa um agalvon khu kon amulet pai thei ding ham?
Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?
14 Akhalhang khu kon akal keh a ahondoh ding ham? Ajeh chu aha khu tijat jat um behseh jeng ahi.
Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15 Alip ho chu pho banga agol gol a detchet a mahor kinam banga thakhat'a kinam detchet ahi.
[His] strong scales are [his] pride, Shut up together [as with] a close seal.
16 Kimatchet a umkhom ahijeh chun akah a hui jangkhat cha jong alut theipoi.
One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
17 Alip khat chu aban'a alip chunga hub eh detchet a, khat leh khat kikam toa kimulet pai theilou ahi.
They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.
18 Anah akhon tengle avahlap lap jengin, amitchang teni jong jingkah nichangsat pet toh abange.
His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Akamsunga konin meisi apahlah lah jin, meikou ahung vahdoh ji'e.
Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.
20 Meichunga twibel kisonga, twihu pot bangin anahhomma konin meikhu ahung kitung doh ji'e.
Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.
21 Akamsunga konna meikou alendoh ji jeh chun, ahai husa chun meihol ahal kou jeng jin ahi.
His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
22 Leviathan ngongchang thahatna chun chene jouse a kichat tijatna asosah e.
In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him.
23 Aphe ho chu atah in chuleh adetchet in, akimulet thei poi.
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24 Alungchang chu song bangin atah in sumhei song bangin atah e.
His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25 Ahung kithodoh tengle thahat chungnung ho akicha jiuvin, kichat tijatnan amanchah kheh jin ahi.
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
26 Chemjam, tengcha, thalchang ahiloule tengcha neoho khat chan asutang joupoi.
If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27 Thih jong imacha ahisah poi. Hiche thilsem ding hin changpol tobangbep bou ahin, chuleh sum-eng jong thing motsa tobangbep ahi.
He counteth iron as straw, [And] brass as rotten wood.
28 Thalchang in adeljam joupon, song aboma kisep jong chu hampan ajepkhah abang bep e.
The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Akivoh ho jong chu ham donthah toh abahsah in chule tengcha neu euvel vul hung leng jong chu anuisat bep e.
Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
30 A oipoh chu haihal hemtah tobang alip in atom in ama chena nung chu loukai nang pan lou akainangna nung abahsah ji'e.
His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: He spreadeth [as it were] a threshing-wain upon the mire.
31 Leviathan chun twi lah'a aum tengle twi chu belphul abahsah ji'e. Twikhanglen tojong thao kiloijol abahsah jin ahi.
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 Twi lah'a ache tengle twi kinong ho chu aval lah lah jin, gah vet ding'in twikhanglen chu akang in akilang ji'e.
He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Leiset chunga ama kibahpi aumpon, ama tobanga kichat neilou thilsem ganhing dang aumpoi.
Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.
34 Thilsem ganhing jouse lah a akiletsah pen ahin, amahi ganhing jouse leng ahi.
He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.
