< Job 41 >
1 Can you pull out Leviathan with a hook? Can you tie its mouth shut?
Will you draw out? Leviathan with a fish hook and with a cord will you hold down? tongue its.
2 Can you thread a rope through its nose? Can you pass a hook through its jaw?
¿ Will you put a cord in nose its and with a hook will you pierce? jaw its.
3 Will it beg you to let it go? Or will it talk softly to you?
¿ Will it multiply to you supplications or? will it speak to you soft [words].
4 Will it make a contract with you? Will it agree to be your slave forever?
¿ Will it make a covenant with you will you take? it to a slave of perpetuity.
5 Will you play with it like a pet bird? Will you put it on a leash for your girls?
¿ Will you play with it like bird and will you bind? it for girls your.
6 Will your trading partners decide on a price for him, and divide him up among the merchants?
Will they bargain? on it partners will they divide? it between merchants.
7 Can you pierce his skin with many harpoons, its head with fishing spears?
¿ Will you fill with harpoons hide its and with a spear of fish head its.
8 If you were to grab hold of it, imagine the battle you would have! You wouldn't do that again!
Put on it hands your remember [the] battle may not you repeat.
9 Any hope to capture it is foolish. Anyone who tries is thrown to the ground.
There! hope his it is proved a lie ¿ also because of appearance its everyone is thrown down.
10 Since no one has the courage to provoke Leviathan, who would dare to stand up against me?
Not fierce that he will rouse it and who? that before me will he take his stand.
11 Who has confronted me with any claim that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.
Who? has he confronted me and I may repay under all the heavens [belongs] to me it.
12 Let me tell you about Leviathan: its powerful legs and graceful proportions.
(To it *Q(K)*) I will keep silent limbs its and [the] matter of strength and [the] grace of arrangement its.
13 Who can remove its hide? Who can penetrate its double coat of armor?
Who? has he uncovered [the] surface of clothing its in [the] doubling of halter its who? will he come.
14 Who can open its jaws? Its teeth are terrifying!
[the] doors of Face its who? has he opened [is] around teeth its terror.
15 Its pride is its rows of scales, closed tightly together.
Pride [is] rows of shields shut up a seal tight.
16 Its scales are so close together that no air can pass between them.
One on one they draw near and a breath not it goes between them.
17 Each scale attaches to the next; they lock together and nothing can penetrate them.
Each on brother its they are joined together they grasp one another and not they are separated.
18 When it sneezes light shines out. Its eyes are like the rising sun.
Sneezing its it flashes forth light and eyes its [are] like [the] eyelids of dawn.
19 Flames pour from its mouth, sparks of fire shoot out.
From mouth its torches they go sparks of fire they escape.
20 Smoke comes from its nostrils, like steam from a kettle on a fire made of reeds.
From nostrils its it goes forth smoke like a pot blown upon and bulrush[es].
21 Its breath sets fire to charcoal as flames shoot from its mouth.
Breath its coals it kindles and a flame from mouth its it goes forth.
22 Its neck is powerful, and all who face him shake with terror.
In neck its it lodges strength and before it it leaps dismay.
23 Its body is dense and solid, as if it is made from cast metal.
[the] hanging parts of Flesh its they cling hard to it not it is moved.
24 Its heart is rock-hard, like a millstone.
Heart its [is] hard like a stone and hard like a mill-stone lower.
25 When it rises, even the powerful are terrified; they retreat as it thrashes about.
From uprising its they are afraid mighty ones from crashing they are bewildered.
26 Swords just bounce off it, as do spears, darts, and javelins.
[one who] reaches It a sword not it is established a spear a dart and a javelin.
27 It brushes aside iron like straw, and bronze like rotten wood.
It considers to straw iron to wood of rottenness bronze.
28 Arrows cannot make it run away; stones from slingshots are like pieces of stubble.
Not it makes flee it [the] son of a bow into chaff they are changed for it stones of a sling.
29 Clubs are also treated like stubble; it laughs at the sound made by flying spears.
Like chaff they are regarded a club so it may laugh to [the] shaking of a javelin.
30 Its underparts are covered with points as sharp as broken pots; when it drags itself through the mud it leaves marks like a threshing sledge.
Under it [are] sharp points of potsherd[s] it spreads out a threshing sledge on mud.
31 It churns up the sea like water in a boiling pot, like a steaming bowl when ointment is mixed.
It makes boil like pot [the] deep [the] sea it makes like pot of ointment.
32 It leaves a glistening wake behind it as if the sea had white hair.
Behind it it makes shine a path anyone considers [the] deep to grey hair.
33 There is nothing on earth like it: a creature that has no fear.
Not [is] on [the] dust likeness its the [one] made for not fear.
34 It looks down on all other creatures. It is the proudest of all.”
Every exalted [one] it sees it [is] king over all [the] sons of pride.
