< Job 41 >
1 Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?
के एउटा बल्छीले तैंले लिव्यातन्लाई तान्न सक्छस्? अर्थात् एउटा डोरीले त्यसको बङ्गारा बाँध्न सक्छस्?
2 Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?
के त्यसको नाकमा तैंले डोरी लगाउन सक्छस्? एउटा बल्छीले त्यसको बङ्गारा छेड्न सक्छस्?
3 Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?
के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
4 Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?
के त्यसले तँसित करार गर्नेछ, जसले गर्दा सदाको निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई कमारो बनाउनुपर्छ?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?
तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्नेछस् र?
6 Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?
के मछुवाहरूका समूहरूले त्यसको लागि बार्गेनिङ् गर्नेछन्? के तिनीहरूले त्यसको व्यापार गर्न व्यापारीहरूका बिचमा भाग लगाउनेछन्?
7 Will you fill up bags with his hide, and let his head be used as a home for fishes?
के तैंले त्यसको छालामा चक्कु हान्न, अर्थात् टाउकोमा माछा मार्ने भाला हान्न सक्छस्?
8 Place your hand upon him; remember the battle and speak no more.
एकपल्ट त्यसमाथि आफ्नो हात राख्, अनि तँलाई त्यो युद्धको सम्झना हुनेछ, र फेरि तैंले कदापि त्यसो गर्नेछैनस् ।
9 Behold, his hope will fail him, and in the sight of all, he will be thrown down.
हेर्, त्यसो गर्ने कसैको आशा पनि झुटो सबित हुन्छ । के त्यसको हेराइले पनि कोही मूर्छै परेर भुइँमा ढल्नेछैनन् र?
10 I will not rouse him, as the cruel would do, for who is able to withstand my countenance?
कोही पनि यति हिंस्रक छैन त्यसले लिव्यातन्लाई उत्तेजित पार्ने आँट गर्छ । त्यसो हो भने, मेरो सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ?
11 Who has given to me beforehand, so that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
मैले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी कसले मलाई कुनै कुरो दिएको छ र? सम्पूर्ण आकाशमुनि भएका सबै थोक मेरै हुन् ।
12 I will not spare him, nor his powerful words and counterfeit attempts at supplication.
लिव्यातन्का खुट्टाहरूको विषयमा म चुप लाग्नेछैनँ, न त्यसको बल, न त त्यसको भव्य आकारको विषयमा चुप लाग्नेछु ।
13 Who can reveal the beauty of his garment? And who can enter the middle of his mouth?
त्यसको बाहिरको पोशाकलाई कसले उतार्न सक्छ? ढाल जस्तो त्यसको दोहोरो छाला कसले छेड्न सक्छ?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? I gave fear to the circle of his teeth.
त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
15 His body is like shields fused together, like dense scales pressed over one another.
तिनका ढाडका छालाहरू ढालका लहरहरूझैं, एउटा बन्द छापझैं एकसाथ जोडिएका हुन्छन् ।
16 One is joined to another, and not even air can pass between them.
एक अर्कोमा यसरी टाँसिन्छन्, जसको बिचबाट हावा पनि छिर्न सक्दैन ।
17 They adhere to one another, and they hold themselves in place and will not be separated.
ती एक-अर्कामा टाँसिएका हुन्छन् । छुट्ट्याउनै नसकिने गरी ती एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् ।
18 His sneezing has the brilliance of fire, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
त्यसले हाच्छीं गर्दा बाहिर झिल्काहरू निस्कन्छन् । त्यसका आँखा बिहानको पलकजस्तै छन् ।
19 Lamps proceed from his mouth, like torches of fire burning brightly.
त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
20 Smoke passes out of his nostrils, like a pot that is heated and boiling.
तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
21 His breath causes coal to burn, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
22 Strength dwells in his neck, and destitution goes before his presence.
त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
23 The parts of his body work in harmony together. He will send lightning bolts against him, and they will not be carried to another place.
त्यसका छालाका पत्रहरू एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् । उसमा ती यति कडा हुन्छन् । ती पल्टाउन सकिंदैन ।
24 His heart will be as hard as a stone and as dense as a blacksmith’s anvil.
त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
25 When he will be raised up, the angels will be afraid, and, because they are terrified, they will purify themselves.
त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
26 When a sword catches up with him, it will not be able to settle in, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
तरवारले त्यसलाई हान्ने हो भने, त्यसले केही हुँदैन, न त भाला, काँड वा अरू कुनै चुच्चे हतियारले त्यसलाई केही हुन्छ ।
27 For he will consider iron as if it were chaff, and brass as if it were rotten wood.
त्यसले फलामलाई पराल भएझैं, र काँसालाई कुहेको काठ भएझैं ठान्छ ।
28 The archer will not cause him to flee; the stones of the sling have been turned into stubble for him.
काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
29 He will treat the hammer as if it were stubble, and he will ridicule those who brandish the spear.
मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
30 The beams of the sun will be under him, and he will dispense gold to them as if it were clay.
त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्छ ।
31 He will make the depths of the sea boil like a pot, and he will set it to bubble just as ointments do.
त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
32 A path will shine after him; he will esteem the abyss as if it were weakening with age.
त्यसले आफ्नो पछाडि चम्कने रेखा बनाउँछ । कसैले त्यसलाई गहिरो पानीमा फुलेको कपालजस्तै ठान्छ ।
33 There is no power on the earth that is being compared to him, who has been made so that he fears no one.
पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
34 He sees every prominent thing; he is king over all the sons of arrogance.
हरेक अहङ्कारी कुरालाई त्यसले हेर्छ । घमण्डका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये त्यो त राजा नै हो ।”
