Job 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
| أَيُمْكِنُ أَنْ تَصْطَادَ لَوِيَاثَانَ (الْحَيَوَانَ الْبَحْرِيَّ) بِشِصٍّ، أَوْ تَرْبِطَ لِسَانَهُ بِحَبْلٍ؟ | ١ |
2 Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
| أَتَقْدِرُ أَنْ تَضَعَ خِزَامَةً فِي أَنْفِهِ، أَوْ تَثْقُبَ فَكَّهُ بِخُطَّافٍ؟ | ٢ |
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?
| أَيُكْثِرُ مِنْ تَضَرُّعَاتِهِ إِلَيْكَ أَمْ يَسْتَعْطِفُكَ؟ | ٣ |
4 Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
| أَيُبْرِمُ مَعَكَ عَهْداً لِتَتَّخِذَهُ عَبْداً مُؤَبَّداً لَكَ؟ | ٤ |
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
| أَتُلاعِبُهُ كَمَا تُلاعِبُ الْعُصْفُورَ، أَمْ تُطَوِّقُهُ بِتُرْسٍ لِيَكُونَ لُعْبَةً لِفَتَيَاتِكَ؟ | ٥ |
6 Will the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
| أَيُسَاوِمُ عَلَيْهِ التُّجَّارُ، أَمْ يَتَقَاسَمُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ؟ | ٦ |
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
| أَتَمْلأُ جِلْدَهُ بِالْحِرَابِ وَرَأْسَهُ بِأَسِنَّةِ الرِّمَاحِ؟ | ٧ |
8 Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.
| إِنْ حَاوَلْتَ الْقَبْضَ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِكَ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَذْكُرُ ضَرَاوَةَ قِتَالِهِ وَلا تَعُودُ تُقْدِمُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثَانِيَةً! | ٨ |
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
| أَيُّ أَمَلٍ فِي إِخْضَاعِهِ قَدْ خَابَ، وَمُجَرَّدُ النَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ يَبْعَثُ عَلَى الفَزَعِ. | ٩ |
10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?
| لَا أَحَدَ يَمْلِكُ جُرْأَةً كَافِيَةً لِيَسْتَثِيرَهُ. فَمَنْ إِذاً، يَقْوَى عَلَى مُجَابَهَتِي؟ | ١٠ |
11 Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
| لِمَنْ أَنَا مَدِينٌ فَأُوفِيَهُ؟ كُلُّ مَا تَحْتَ جَمِيعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ هُوَ لِي. | ١١ |
12 I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
| دَعْنِي أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ أَطْرَافِ لَوِيَاثَانَ وَعَنْ قُوَّتِهِ وَتَنَاسُقِ قَامَتِهِ. | ١٢ |
13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?
| مَنْ يَخْلَعُ كِسَاءَهُ أَوْ يَدْنُو مِنْ مُتَنَاوَلِ صَفَّيْ أَضْرَاسِهِ؟ | ١٣ |
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
| مَنْ يَفْتَحُ شَدْقَيْهِ؟ إِنَّ دَائِرَةَ أَسْنَانِهِ مُرْعِبَةٌ! | ١٤ |
15 [His] strong scales are [his] pride, Shut up together [as with] a close seal.
| ظَهْرُهُ مَصْنُوعٌ مِنْ حَرَاشِفَ كَتُرُوسٍ مَصْفُوفَةٍ مُتَلاصِقَةٍ بِإِحْكَامٍ، وَكَأَنَّهَا مَضْغُوطَةٌ بِخَاتَمٍ، | ١٥ |
16 One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
| مُتَلاصِقَةٌ لَا يَنْفُذُ مِنْ بَيْنِهَا الْهَوَاءُ، | ١٦ |
17 They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.
| مُتَّصِلَةٌ بَعْضُهَا بِبَعْضٍ، مُتَلَبِّدَةٌ لَا تَنْفَصِلُ. | ١٧ |
18 His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
| عِطَاسُهُ يُوْمِضُ نُوراً، وَعَيْنَاهُ كَأَجْفَانِ الْفَجْرِ، | ١٨ |
19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.
| مِنْ فَمِهِ تَخْرُجُ مَشَاعِلُ مُلْتَهِبَةٌ، وَيَتَطَايَرُ مِنْهُ شَرَارُ نَارٍ، | ١٩ |
20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.
| يَنْبَعِثُ مِنْ مِنْخَرَيْهِ دُخَانٌ وَكَأَنَّهُ مِن قِدْرٍ يَغْلِي أَوْ مِرْجَلٍ. | ٢٠ |
21 His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
| يُضْرِمُ نَفَسُهُ الْجَمْرَ، وَمِنْ فَمِهِ يَنْطَلِقُ اللَّهَبُ. | ٢١ |
22 In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him.
| فِي عُنُقِهِ تَكْمُنُ قُوَّةٌ، وَأَمَامَ عَيْنَيْهِ يَعْدُو الْهَوْلُ. | ٢٢ |
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
| ثَنَايَا لَحْمِهِ مُحْكَمَةُ التَّمَاسُكِ، مَسْبُوكَةٌ عَلَيْهِ لَا تَتَحَرَّكُ. | ٢٣ |
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.
| قَلْبُهُ صُلْبٌ كَالصَّخْرِ، صَلْدٌ كَالرَّحَى السُّفْلَى. | ٢٤ |
25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
| عِنْدَمَا يَنْهَضُ يَدِبُّ الْفَزَعُ فِي الأَقْوِيَاءِ، وَمِنْ جَلَبَتِهِ يَعْتَرِيهِمْ شَلَلٌ. | ٢٥ |
26 If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
| لَا يَنَالُ مِنْهُ السَّيْفُ الَّذِي يُصِيبُهُ، وَلا الرُّمْحُ وَلا السَّهْمُ وَلا الْحَرْبَةُ. | ٢٦ |
27 He counteth iron as straw, [And] brass as rotten wood.
| يَحْسِبُ الْحَدِيدَ كَالْقَشِّ وَالنُّحَاسَ كَالْخَشَبِ النَّخِرِ. | ٢٧ |
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
| لَا يُرْغِمُهُ السَّهْمُ عَلَى الْفِرَارِ، وَحِجَارَةُ الْمِقْلاعِ لَدَيْهِ كَالْقَشِّ. | ٢٨ |
29 Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
| الْهِرَاوَةُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ كَالْعُصَافَةِ، وَيَهْزَأُ بِاهْتِزَازِ الرُّمْحِ الْمُصَوَّبِ إِلَيْهِ. | ٢٩ |
30 His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: He spreadeth [as it were] a threshing-wain upon the mire.
| بَطْنُهُ كَقِطَعِ الْخَزَفِ الْحَادَّةِ. إِذَا تَمَدَّدَ عَلَى الطِّينِ يَتْرُكُ آثَاراً مُمَاثِلَةً لِآثَارِ النَّوْرَجِ. | ٣٠ |
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
| يَجْعَلُ اللُّجَّةَ تَغْلِي كَالْقِدْرِ، وَالْبَحْرَ يَجِيشُ كَقِدْرِ الطِّيبِ. | ٣١ |
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.
| يَتْرُكُ خَلْفَهُ خَطّاً مِنْ زَبَدٍ أَبْيَضَ، فَيُخَالُ أَنَّ الْبَحْرَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ الشَّيْبُ. | ٣٢ |
33 Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.
| لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ فَوْقَ الأَرْضِ لأَنَّهُ مَخْلُوقٌ عَدِيمُ الْخَوْفِ. | ٣٣ |
34 He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.
| يَحْتَقِرُ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ مُتَعَالٍ، وَهُوَ مَلِكٌ عَلَى ذَوِي الْكِبْرِيَاءِ». | ٣٤ |
