< Job 41 >

1 Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?
के एउटा बल्छीले तैंले लिव्यातन्‌लाई तान्‍न सक्छस्? अर्थात् एउटा डोरीले त्यसको बङ्गारा बाँध्‍न सक्छस्?
2 Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?
के त्यसको नाकमा तैंले डोरी लगाउन सक्छस्? एउटा बल्छीले त्‍यसको बङ्गारा छेड्न सक्छस्?
3 Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?
के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
4 Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?
के त्यसले तँसित करार गर्नेछ, जसले गर्दा सदाको निम्ति तैंले त्‍यसलाई कमारो बनाउनुपर्छ?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes?
तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्‍नेछस् र?
6 Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants?
के मछुवाहरूका समूहरूले त्यसको लागि बार्गेनिङ् गर्नेछन्? के तिनीहरूले त्यसको व्यापार गर्न व्यापारीहरूका बिचमा भाग लगाउनेछन्?
7 Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head?
के तैंले त्यसको छालामा चक्‍कु हान्‍न, अर्थात् टाउकोमा माछा मार्ने भाला हान्‍न सक्छस्?
8 Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so.
एकपल्‍ट त्यसमाथि आफ्‍नो हात राख्, अनि तँलाई त्‍यो युद्धको सम्झना हुनेछ, र फेरि तैंले कदापि त्यसो गर्नेछैनस् ।
9 Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?
हेर्, त्यसो गर्ने कसैको आशा पनि झुटो सबित हुन्छ । के त्यसको हेराइले पनि कोही मूर्छै परेर भुइँमा ढल्‍नेछैनन् र?
10 None is so fearce that dare stirre him vp. Who is he then that can stand before me?
कोही पनि यति हिंस्रक छैन त्यसले लिव्यातन्‌लाई उत्तेजित पार्ने आँट गर्छ । त्यसो हो भने, मेरो सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ?
11 Who hath preuented mee that I shoulde make an ende? Al vnder heauen is mine.
मैले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी कसले मलाई कुनै कुरो दिएको छ र? सम्पूर्ण आकाशमुनि भएका सबै थोक मेरै हुन् ।
12 I will not keepe silence concerning his partes, nor his power nor his comely proportion.
लिव्यातन्‌का खुट्टाहरूको विषयमा म चुप लाग्‍नेछैनँ, न त्यसको बल, न त त्यसको भव्य आकारको विषयमा चुप लाग्‍नेछु ।
13 Who can discouer the face of his garmet? or who shall come to him with a double bridle?
त्यसको बाहिरको पोशाकलाई कसले उतार्न सक्छ? ढाल जस्‍तो त्यसको दोहोरो छाला कसले छेड्न सक्छ?
14 Who shall open the doores of his face? his teeth are fearefull round about.
त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्‍छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
15 The maiestie of his scales is like strog shields, and are sure sealed.
तिनका ढाडका छालाहरू ढालका लहरहरूझैं, एउटा बन्‍द छापझैं एकसाथ जोडिएका हुन्‍छन् ।
16 One is set to another, that no winde can come betweene them.
एक अर्कोमा यसरी टाँसिन्‍छन्, जसको बिचबाट हावा पनि छिर्न सक्दैन ।
17 One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be sundered.
ती एक-अर्कामा टाँसिएका हुन्‍छन् । छुट्ट्याउनै नसकिने गरी ती एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् ।
18 His niesings make the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
त्यसले हाच्‍छीं गर्दा बाहिर झिल्‍काहरू निस्कन्छन् । त्यसका आँखा बिहानको पलकजस्तै छन् ।
19 Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.
त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
20 Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.
तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्‍केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
21 His breath maketh the coales burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.
त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
22 In his necke remayneth strength, and labour is reiected before his face.
त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
23 The members of his bodie are ioyned: they are strong in themselues, and cannot be mooued.
त्यसका छालाका पत्रहरू एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् । उसमा ती यति कडा हुन्छन् । ती पल्‍टाउन सकिंदैन ।
24 His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether milstone.
त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
25 The mightie are afrayd of his maiestie, and for feare they faint in themselues.
त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
26 When the sword doeth touch him, he will not rise vp, nor for the speare, dart nor habergeon.
तरवारले त्यसलाई हान्‍ने हो भने, त्यसले केही हुँदैन, न त भाला, काँड वा अरू कुनै चुच्‍चे हतियारले त्यसलाई केही हुन्‍छ ।
27 He esteemeth yron as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood.
त्यसले फलामलाई पराल भएझैं, र काँसालाई कुहेको काठ भएझैं ठान्‍छ ।
28 The archer canot make him flee: ye stones of the sling are turned into stubble vnto him:
काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
29 The dartes are counted as strawe: and hee laugheth at the shaking of the speare.
मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
30 Sharpe stones are vnder him, and he spreadeth sharpe things vpon the myre.
त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्‍छ ।
31 He maketh the depth to boyle like a pot, and maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.
त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
32 He maketh a path to shine after him: one would thinke the depth as an hoare head.
त्यसले आफ्नो पछाडि चम्कने रेखा बनाउँछ । कसैले त्यसलाई गहिरो पानीमा फुलेको कपालजस्तै ठान्छ ।
33 In the earth there is none like him: hee is made without feare.
पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
34 He beholdeth al hie things: he is a King ouer all the children of pride.
हरेक अहङ्कारी कुरालाई त्यसले हेर्छ । घमण्‍डका सबै छोराहरूमध्‍ये त्यो त राजा नै हो ।”
