Job 41
1 But will you catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?
“Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ le è fi ìwọ̀ fa Lefitani jáde? Tàbí ìwọ lè fi okùn so ahọ́n rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀?
2 Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?
Ìwọ lè fi okùn bọ̀ ọ́ ní í mú, tàbí fi ìwọ̀ ẹ̀gún gun ní ẹ̀rẹ̀kẹ́?
3 Will he address you with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?
Òun ha jẹ́ bẹ ẹ̀bẹ̀ fún àánú lọ́dọ̀ rẹ ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ bí òun ha bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀ pẹ̀lẹ́?
4 And will he make a covenant with you? and will you take him for a perpetual servant?
Òun ha bá ọ dá májẹ̀mú bí? Ìwọ ó ha máa mú ṣe ẹrú láéláé bí?
5 And will you play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?
Ìwọ ha lè ba sáré bí ẹni pé ẹyẹ ni, tàbí ìwọ ó dè é fún àwọn ọmọbìnrin ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀?
6 And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?
Ẹgbẹ́ àwọn apẹja yóò ha máa tà á bí? Wọn ó ha pín láàrín àwọn oníṣòwò?
7 And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing vessels.
Ìwọ ha lè fi ọ̀kọ̀-irin gun awọ rẹ̀, tàbí orí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀kọ̀ ìpẹja.
8 But you shall lay your hand upon him [once], remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.
Fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé e lára, ìwọ ó rántí ìjà náà, ìwọ kì yóò sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ mọ́.
9 Hast you not seen him? and have you not wondered at the things said [of him]?
Kíyèsi, ìgbìyànjú láti mú un ní asán; ní kìkì ìrí rẹ̀ ara kì yóò ha rọ̀ ọ́ wẹ̀sì?
10 Do you not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?
Kò sí ẹni aláyà lílé tí ó lè ru sókè. Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ó lè dúró níwájú mi.
11 Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?
Ta ni ó kọ́kọ́ ṣe fún mi, tí èmi ìbá fi san án fún un? Ohunkóhun ti ń bẹ lábẹ́ ọ̀run gbogbo, tèmi ni.
12 I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.
“Èmi kì yóò fi ẹ̀yà ara Lefitani, tàbí ipá rẹ, tàbí ìhámọ́ra rẹ tí ó ní ẹwà pamọ́.
13 Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?
Ta ni yóò lè rídìí aṣọ àpáta rẹ̀? Tàbí ta ni ó lè súnmọ́ ọ̀nà méjì eyín rẹ̀?
14 Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.
Ta ni ó lè ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn iwájú rẹ̀? Àyíká ẹ̀yin rẹ ni ìbẹ̀rù ńlá.
15 His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.
Ìpẹ́ lílé ní ìgbéraga rẹ̀; ó pàdé pọ̀ tímọ́tímọ́ bí àmì èdìdì.
16 One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air can’t come between them.
Èkínní fi ara mọ́ èkejì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí afẹ́fẹ́ kò lè wọ àárín wọn.
17 They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and can’t be separated.
Èkínní fi ara mọ́ èkejì rẹ̀; wọ́n lè wọ́n pọ̀ tí a kò lè mọ̀ wọ́n.
18 At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.
Nípa sí sin rẹ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀ á mọ́, ojú rẹ̀ a sì dàbí ìpéǹpéjú òwúrọ̀.
19 Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.
Láti ẹnu rẹ ni ọ̀wọ́-iná ti jáde wá, ìpẹ́pẹ́ iná a sì ta jáde.
20 Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.
Láti ihò imú rẹ ni èéfín ti jáde wá, bí ẹni pé láti inú ìkòkò tí a fẹ́ iná ìfèéfèé lábẹ́ rẹ̀.
21 His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
Èémí rẹ̀ tiná bọ ẹ̀yin iná, ọ̀wọ́-iná sì ti ẹnu rẹ̀ jáde.
22 And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.
Ní ọrùn rẹ̀ ní agbára kù sí, àti ìbànújẹ́ àyà sì padà di ayọ̀ níwájú rẹ̀.
23 The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.
Jabajaba ẹran rẹ̀ dìjọ pọ̀, wọ́n múra gírí fún ara wọn, a kò lè sí wọn ní ipò.
24 His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.
Àyà rẹ̀ dúró gbagidi bí òkúta, àní, ó le bi ìyá ọlọ.
25 And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.
Nígbà tí ó bá gbé ara rẹ̀ sókè, àwọn alágbára bẹ̀rù; nítorí ìbẹ̀rù ńlá, wọ́n dààmú.
26 If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.
Ọ̀kọ̀ tàbí idà, tàbí ọfà, ẹni tí ó ṣá a kò lè rán an.
27 For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.
Ó ká irin sí ibi koríko gbígbẹ àti idẹ si bi igi híhù.
28 The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass.
Ọfà kò lè mú un sá; òkúta kànnakánná lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ dàbí àgékù koríko.
29 Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.
Ó ka ẹṣin sí bí àgékù ìdì koríko; ó rẹ́rìn-ín sí mímì ọ̀kọ̀.
30 His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay.
Òkúta mímú ń bẹ nísàlẹ̀ abẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì tẹ́ ohun mímú ṣóńṣó sórí ẹrẹ̀.
31 He makes the deep boil like a brazen caldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,
Ó mú ibú omi hó bí ìkòkò; ó sọ̀ agbami òkun dàbí kólòbó ìkunra.
32 and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.
Ó mú ipa ọ̀nà tan lẹ́yìn rẹ̀; ènìyàn a máa ka ibú sí ewú arúgbó.
33 There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.
Lórí ilẹ̀ ayé kò sí ẹni tí ó dàbí rẹ̀, tí a dá láìní ìbẹ̀rù.
34 He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.
Ó bojú wo ohun gíga gbogbo, ó sì nìkan jásí ọba lórí gbogbo àwọn ọmọ ìgbéraga.”
