Job 41
1 Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?
ἄξεις δὲ δράκοντα ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ περιθήσεις δὲ φορβεὰν περὶ ῥῖνα αὐτοῦ
2 Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?
εἰ δήσεις κρίκον ἐν τῷ μυκτῆρι αὐτοῦ ψελίῳ δὲ τρυπήσεις τὸ χεῖλος αὐτοῦ
3 Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?
λαλήσει δέ σοι δεήσει ἱκετηρίᾳ μαλακῶς
4 Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?
θήσεται δὲ διαθήκην μετὰ σοῦ λήμψῃ δὲ αὐτὸν δοῦλον αἰώνιον
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes?
παίξῃ δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ὥσπερ ὀρνέῳ ἢ δήσεις αὐτὸν ὥσπερ στρουθίον παιδίῳ
6 Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants?
ἐνσιτοῦνται δὲ ἐν αὐτῷ ἔθνη μεριτεύονται δὲ αὐτὸν φοινίκων γένη
7 Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head?
πᾶν δὲ πλωτὸν συνελθὸν οὐ μὴ ἐνέγκωσιν βύρσαν μίαν οὐρᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πλοίοις ἁλιέων κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ
8 Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so.
ἐπιθήσεις δὲ αὐτῷ χεῖρα μνησθεὶς πόλεμον τὸν γινόμενον ἐν σώματι αὐτοῦ καὶ μηκέτι γινέσθω
9 Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
οὐχ ἑόρακας αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας
10 None is so fearce that dare stirre him vp. Who is he then that can stand before me?
οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς
11 Who hath preuented mee that I shoulde make an ende? Al vnder heauen is mine.
ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ’ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν
12 I will not keepe silence concerning his partes, nor his power nor his comely proportion.
οὐ σιωπήσομαι δῑ αὐτόν καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτοῦ
13 Who can discouer the face of his garmet? or who shall come to him with a double bridle?
τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι
14 Who shall open the doores of his face? his teeth are fearefull round about.
πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος
15 The maiestie of his scales is like strog shields, and are sure sealed.
τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκειαι σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμιρίτης λίθος
16 One is set to another, that no winde can come betweene them.
εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν
17 One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be sundered.
ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν
18 His niesings make the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος ἑωσφόρου
19 Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.
ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ἐσχάραι πυρός
20 Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.
ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων
21 His breath maketh the coales burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.
ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται
22 In his necke remayneth strength, and labour is reiected before his face.
ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια
23 The members of his bodie are ioyned: they are strong in themselues, and cannot be mooued.
σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται καταχέει ἐπ’ αὐτόν οὐ σαλευθήσεται
24 His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether milstone.
ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος ἕστηκεν δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος
25 The mightie are afrayd of his maiestie, and for feare they faint in themselues.
στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις
26 When the sword doeth touch him, he will not rise vp, nor for the speare, dart nor habergeon.
ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσιν δόρυ ἐπηρμένον καὶ θώρακα
27 He esteemeth yron as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood.
ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν
28 The archer canot make him flee: ye stones of the sling are turned into stubble vnto him:
οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκειον ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον
29 The dartes are counted as strawe: and hee laugheth at the shaking of the speare.
ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου
30 Sharpe stones are vnder him, and he spreadeth sharpe things vpon the myre.
ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ’ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος
31 He maketh the depth to boyle like a pot, and maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.
ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον
32 He maketh a path to shine after him: one would thinke the depth as an hoare head.
τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον
33 In the earth there is none like him: hee is made without feare.
οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου
34 He beholdeth al hie things: he is a King ouer all the children of pride.
πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν
