Job 41
1 Can you draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?
के एउटा बल्छीले तैंले लिव्यातन्लाई तान्न सक्छस्? अर्थात् एउटा डोरीले त्यसको बङ्गारा बाँध्न सक्छस्?
2 Can you put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
के त्यसको नाकमा तैंले डोरी लगाउन सक्छस्? एउटा बल्छीले त्यसको बङ्गारा छेड्न सक्छस्?
3 Will he make many supplications to you? will he speak soft words to you?
के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
4 Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant for ever?
के त्यसले तँसित करार गर्नेछ, जसले गर्दा सदाको निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई कमारो बनाउनुपर्छ?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you bind him for your maidens?
तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्नेछस् र?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
के मछुवाहरूका समूहरूले त्यसको लागि बार्गेनिङ् गर्नेछन्? के तिनीहरूले त्यसको व्यापार गर्न व्यापारीहरूका बिचमा भाग लगाउनेछन्?
7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
के तैंले त्यसको छालामा चक्कु हान्न, अर्थात् टाउकोमा माछा मार्ने भाला हान्न सक्छस्?
8 Lay your hand on him, remember the battle, do no more.
एकपल्ट त्यसमाथि आफ्नो हात राख्, अनि तँलाई त्यो युद्धको सम्झना हुनेछ, र फेरि तैंले कदापि त्यसो गर्नेछैनस् ।
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even 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 fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to 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 has prevented me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
मैले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी कसले मलाई कुनै कुरो दिएको छ र? सम्पूर्ण आकाशमुनि भएका सबै थोक मेरै हुन् ।
12 I will not conceal his parts, 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 discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
त्यसको बाहिरको पोशाकलाई कसले उतार्न सक्छ? ढाल जस्तो त्यसको दोहोरो छाला कसले छेड्न सक्छ?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
तिनका ढाडका छालाहरू ढालका लहरहरूझैं, एउटा बन्द छापझैं एकसाथ जोडिएका हुन्छन् ।
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
एक अर्कोमा यसरी टाँसिन्छन्, जसको बिचबाट हावा पनि छिर्न सक्दैन ।
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
ती एक-अर्कामा टाँसिएका हुन्छन् । छुट्ट्याउनै नसकिने गरी ती एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् ।
18 By his neesings a light does 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 burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
त्यसका छालाका पत्रहरू एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् । उसमा ती यति कडा हुन्छन् । ती पल्टाउन सकिंदैन ।
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yes, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
25 When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
26 The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
तरवारले त्यसलाई हान्ने हो भने, त्यसले केही हुँदैन, न त भाला, काँड वा अरू कुनै चुच्चे हतियारले त्यसलाई केही हुन्छ ।
27 He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
त्यसले फलामलाई पराल भएझैं, र काँसालाई कुहेको काठ भएझैं ठान्छ ।
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are turned with him into stubble.
काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.
मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things on the mire.
त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्छ ।
31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
त्यसले आफ्नो पछाडि चम्कने रेखा बनाउँछ । कसैले त्यसलाई गहिरो पानीमा फुलेको कपालजस्तै ठान्छ ।
33 On earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
34 He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
हरेक अहङ्कारी कुरालाई त्यसले हेर्छ । घमण्डका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये त्यो त राजा नै हो ।”
