< Job 41 >

1 Can you draw out leviathan (sea serpent) with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?
“Ko za ka iya kama dodon ruwa da ƙugiyar kamar kifi ko kuma ka daure harshenta da igiya?
2 Can you put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Za ka iya sa igiya a cikin hancinta ko kuma ka huda muƙamuƙanta da ƙugiya?
3 Will he make many supplications unto you? will he speak soft words unto you?
Za tă ci gaba da roƙonka ka yi mata jinƙai? Ko za tă yi maka magana a hankali?
4 Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant for ever?
Za tă yi yarjejjeniya da kai don ka ɗauke ta tă zama baiwa gare ka dukan kwanakin ranta?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you bind him for your maidens?
Za ka yi wasa da ita kamar yadda za ka yi da tsuntsu? Ko za ka daure ta da tsirkiya domin bayinka mata?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
’Yan kasuwa za su saye ta ko za su raba ta a tsakaninsu?
7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
Ko za ka iya huda fatarta da kibiya ka kuma huda kansa da māsu?
8 Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
In ka ɗora hannunka sau ɗaya a kanta za ka tuna da yaƙin da ba za ka sāke yi ba!
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Duk ƙoƙarin kama ta banza ne; ganin ta kawai abin tsoro ne.
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Ba wanda ya isa yă tsokane ta. Wane ne kuma ya isa yă yi tsayayya da ni?
11 Who has prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Wane ne yake bi na bashi da dole in biya? Duk abin da yake ƙarƙashin sama nawa ne.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
“Ba zan daina magana game da gaɓoɓinta ba ƙarfinta da kuma kyan kamanninta ba.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Wa zai iya tuɓe mata mayafinta? Wa zai iya shiga tsakanin ɓawonta.
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
Wa zai iya buɗe ƙofofin bakinta? Haƙoranta ma abin tsoro ne?
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
An rufe bayanta da jerin garkuwoyi aka manne su sosai.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
Suna kurkusa da juna yadda da ƙyar iska take iya wucewa tsakani.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
An haɗa su da juna sun mannu da juna kuma ba za a iya raba su ba.
18 By his exhaling a light does shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Numfashinta yana fitar da wuta; idanunta kamar hasken zuwan safe.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Wuta tana fitowa daga bakinta; tartsatsin wuta suna fitowa,
20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
Hayaƙi yana fitowa daga hancinta kamar daga tukunya mai tafasa a kan wutar itace.
21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
Numfashinta yana sa garwashi yă kama wuta, harshen wuta yana fita daga bakinta.
22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Akwai ƙarfi a cikin wuyanta; razana tana wucewa a gabanta.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Namanta yana da kauri a manne da juna; naman yana da tauri ba ya matsawa.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
Ƙirjinta yana da ƙarfi kamar dutse, da ƙarfi kamar dutsen niƙa.
25 When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Sa’ad da ta tashi, manya suna tsorata; suna ja da baya.
26 The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the armour of jacket.
Takobi ba ta iya yankanta, kibiya ko māshi ba sa iya huda ta.
27 He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
Ƙarfe kamar kara ne a wurinta tagulla kuma kamar ruɓaɓɓen katako ne a wurinta.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are turned with him into stubble.
Māsu ba su sa ta tă gudu; jifar majajjawa kamar na ciyawa ne gare ta.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.
Kulki a gare ta kamar ciyawa ne, tana dariyar wucewar māshi.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Cikinta yana rufe a ɓawo masu ƙarfi, tana kabtar ƙasa in tana tafiya.
31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Tana sa zurfin kogi yă tafasa kamar tukunya, ta kuma sa teku yă zama kamar tukunyar man shafawa.
32 He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
A bayanta ya bar haske kamar zurfin ruwan da yana kumfa.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Ba wani abu kamar ta a duniya, halitta marar tsoro.
34 He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Tana rena duk masu girman kai. Ita take mulki kan duk masu girman kai.”
