Job 41
1 Can you draw out the leviathan with a hook, and can you bind his tongue with a cord?
“Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ le è fi ìwọ̀ fa Lefitani jáde? Tàbí ìwọ lè fi okùn so ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀?
2 Can you place a ring in his nose, or bore through his jaw with an arm band?
Ìwọ lè fi okùn bọ̀ ọ́ ní í mú, tàbí fi ìwọ̀ ẹ̀gún gun ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́?
3 Will he offer many prayers to you, or speak to you quietly?
Òun ha jẹ́ bẹ ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àánú lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ bí òun ha bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lẹ́?
4 Will he form a covenant with you, and will you accept him as a servant forever?
Òun ha bá ọ dá májẹ̀mú bí? Ìwọ ó ha máa mú ṣe ẹrú láéláé bí?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird, or tether him for your handmaids?
Ìwọ ha lè ba sáré bí ẹni pé ẹyẹ ni, tàbí ìwọ ó dè é fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀?
6 Will your friends cut him into pieces, will dealers distribute him?
Ẹgbẹ́ àwọn apẹja yóò ha máa tà á bí? Wọn ó ha pín láàrín àwọn oníṣòwò?
7 Will you fill up bags with his hide, and let his head be used as a home for fishes?
Ìwọ ha lè fi ọ̀kọ̀-irin gun awọ rẹ̀, tàbí orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀kọ̀ ìpẹja.
8 Place your hand upon him; remember the battle and speak no more.
Fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé e lára, ìwọ ó rántí ìjà náà, ìwọ kì yóò sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́.
9 Behold, his hope will fail him, and in the sight of all, he will be thrown down.
Kíyèsi, ìgbìyànjú láti mú un ní asán; ní kìkì ìrí rẹ̀ ara kì yóò ha rọ̀ ọ́ wẹ̀sì?
10 I will not rouse him, as the cruel would do, for who is able to withstand my countenance?
Kò sí ẹni aláyà lílé tí ó lè ru sókè. Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ó lè dúró níwájú mi.
11 Who has given to me beforehand, so that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.
Ta ni ó kọ́kọ́ ṣe fún mi, tí èmi ìbá fi san án fún un? Ohunkóhun ti ń bẹ lábẹ́ ọ̀run gbogbo, tèmi ni.
12 I will not spare him, nor his powerful words and counterfeit attempts at supplication.
“Èmi kì yóò fi ẹ̀yà ara Lefitani, tàbí ipá rẹ, tàbí ìhámọ́ra rẹ tí ó ní ẹwà pamọ́.
13 Who can reveal the beauty of his garment? And who can enter the middle of his mouth?
Ta ni yóò lè rídìí aṣọ àpáta rẹ̀? Tàbí ta ni ó lè súnmọ́ ọ̀nà méjì eyín rẹ̀?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? I gave fear to the circle of his teeth.
Ta ni ó lè ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn iwájú rẹ̀? Àyíká ẹ̀yin rẹ ni ìbẹ̀rù ńlá.
15 His body is like shields fused together, like dense scales pressed over one another.
Ìpẹ́ lílé ní ìgbéraga rẹ̀; ó pàdé pọ̀ tímọ́tímọ́ bí àmì èdìdì.
16 One is joined to another, and not even air can pass between them.
Èkínní fi ara mọ́ èkejì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí afẹ́fẹ́ kò lè wọ àárín wọn.
17 They adhere to one another, and they hold themselves in place and will not be separated.
Èkínní fi ara mọ́ èkejì rẹ̀; wọ́n lè wọ́n pọ̀ tí a kò lè mọ̀ wọ́n.
18 His sneezing has the brilliance of fire, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Nípa sí sin rẹ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ á mọ́, ojú rẹ̀ a sì dàbí ìpéǹpéjú òwúrọ̀.
19 Lamps proceed from his mouth, like torches of fire burning brightly.
Láti ẹnu rẹ ni ọ̀wọ́-iná ti jáde wá, ìpẹ́pẹ́ iná a sì ta jáde.
20 Smoke passes out of his nostrils, like a pot that is heated and boiling.
Láti ihò imú rẹ ni èéfín ti jáde wá, bí ẹni pé láti inú ìkòkò tí a fẹ́ iná ìfèéfèé lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
21 His breath causes coal to burn, and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
Èémí rẹ̀ tiná bọ ẹ̀yin iná, ọ̀wọ́-iná sì ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde.
22 Strength dwells in his neck, and destitution goes before his presence.
Ní ọrùn rẹ̀ ní agbára kù sí, àti ìbànújẹ́ àyà sì padà di ayọ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
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.
Jabajaba ẹran rẹ̀ dìjọ pọ̀, wọ́n múra gírí fún ara wọn, a kò lè sí wọn ní ipò.
24 His heart will be as hard as a stone and as dense as a blacksmith’s anvil.
Àyà rẹ̀ dúró gbagidi bí òkúta, àní, ó le bi ìyá ọlọ.
25 When he will be raised up, the angels will be afraid, and, because they are terrified, they will purify themselves.
Nígbà tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ sókè, àwọn alágbára bẹ̀rù; nítorí ìbẹ̀rù ńlá, wọ́n dààmú.
26 When a sword catches up with him, it will not be able to settle in, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.
Ọ̀kọ̀ tàbí idà, tàbí ọfà, ẹni tí ó ṣá a kò lè rán an.
27 For he will consider iron as if it were chaff, and brass as if it were rotten wood.
Ó ká irin sí ibi koríko gbígbẹ àti idẹ si bi igi híhù.
28 The archer will not cause him to flee; the stones of the sling have been turned into stubble for him.
Ọfà kò lè mú un sá; òkúta kànnakánná lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ dàbí àgékù koríko.
29 He will treat the hammer as if it were stubble, and he will ridicule those who brandish the spear.
Ó ka ẹṣin sí bí àgékù ìdì koríko; ó rẹ́rìn-ín sí mímì ọ̀kọ̀.
30 The beams of the sun will be under him, and he will dispense gold to them as if it were clay.
Òkúta mímú ń bẹ nísàlẹ̀ abẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì tẹ́ ohun mímú ṣóńṣó sórí ẹrẹ̀.
31 He will make the depths of the sea boil like a pot, and he will set it to bubble just as ointments do.
Ó mú ibú omi hó bí ìkòkò; ó sọ̀ agbami òkun dàbí kólòbó ìkunra.
32 A path will shine after him; he will esteem the abyss as if it were weakening with age.
Ó mú ipa ọ̀nà tan lẹ́yìn rẹ̀; ènìyàn a máa ka ibú sí ewú arúgbó.
33 There is no power on the earth that is being compared to him, who has been made so that he fears no one.
Lórí ilẹ̀ ayé kò sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí a dá láìní ìbẹ̀rù.
34 He sees every prominent thing; he is king over all the sons of arrogance.
Ó bojú wo ohun gíga gbogbo, ó sì nìkan jásí ọba lórí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ìgbéraga.”
