Job 39
1 “Have you known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? Do you mark the bringing forth of does?
| הֲיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לֶדֶת יַעֲלֵי־סָלַע חֹלֵל אַיָּלוֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃ |
2 Do you number the months they fulfill? And have you known the time of their bringing forth?
| תִּסְפֹּר יְרָחִים תְּמַלֶּאנָה וְיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃ |
3 They bow down, They bring forth their young ones safely, They cast forth their pangs.
| תִּכְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶן תְּפַלַּחְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃ |
4 Their young ones are safe, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
| יַחְלְמוּ בְנֵיהֶם יִרְבּוּ בַבָּר יָצְאוּ וְלֹא־שָׁבוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ |
5 Who has sent forth the wild donkey free? Indeed, who opened the bands of the wild donkey?
| מִי־שִׁלַּח פֶּרֶא חׇפְשִׁי וּמֹסְרוֹת עָרוֹד מִי פִתֵּֽחַ׃ |
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
| אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי עֲרָבָה בֵיתוֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו מְלֵחָֽה׃ |
7 He laughs at the multitude of a city, He does not hear the cries of an exactor.
| יִשְׂחַק לַהֲמוֹן קִרְיָה תְּשֻׁאוֹת נֹגֵשׂ לֹא יִשְׁמָֽע׃ |
8 The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And he seeks after every green thing.
| יְתוּר הָרִים מִרְעֵהוּ וְאַחַר כׇּל־יָרוֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃ |
9 Is a wild ox willing to serve you? Does he lodge by your crib?
| הֲיֹאבֶה רֵּים עׇבְדֶךָ אִם־יָלִין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ |
10 Do you bind a wild ox in a furrow [with] his thick band? Does he harrow valleys after you?
| הֲֽתִקְשׇׁר־רֵים בְּתֶלֶם עֲבֹתוֹ אִם־יְשַׂדֵּד עֲמָקִים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ |
11 Do you trust in him because his power [is] great? And do you leave your labor to him?
| הֲֽתִבְטַח־בּוֹ כִּֽי־רַב כֹּחוֹ וְתַעֲזֹב אֵלָיו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃ |
12 Do you trust in him That he brings back your seed, And gathers [it to] your threshing-floor?
| הֲתַאֲמִין בּוֹ כִּֽי־[יָשִׁיב] (ישוב) זַרְעֶךָ וְֽגׇרְנְךָ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ |
13 [The] wing of the crying ostriches exults, but as a pinion and feather of a stork?
| כְּנַף־רְנָנִים נֶעֱלָסָה אִם־אֶבְרָה חֲסִידָה וְנֹצָֽה׃ |
14 For she leaves her eggs on the earth, And she warms them on the dust,
| כִּי־תַעֲזֹב לָאָרֶץ בֵּצֶיהָ וְֽעַל־עָפָר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃ |
15 And she forgets that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field treads it down.
| וַתִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־רֶגֶל תְּזוּרֶהָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה תְדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃ |
16 It has hardened her young ones without her, Her labor [is] in vain, without fear.
| הִקְשִׁיחַ בָּנֶיהָ לְּלֹא־לָהּ לְרִיק יְגִיעָהּ בְּלִי־פָֽחַד׃ |
17 For God has caused her to forget wisdom, And He has not given a portion To her in understanding;
| כִּי־הִשָּׁהּ אֱלוֹהַּ חׇכְמָה וְלֹא־חָלַק לָהּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃ |
18 At the time she lifts herself up on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
| כָּעֵת בַּמָּרוֹם תַּמְרִיא תִּֽשְׂחַק לַסּוּס וּלְרֹכְבֽוֹ׃ |
19 Do you give might to the horse? Do you clothe his neck [with] a mane?
| הֲתִתֵּן לַסּוּס גְּבוּרָה הֲתַלְבִּישׁ צַוָּארוֹ רַעְמָֽה׃ |
20 Do you cause him to rush as a locust? The splendor of his snorting [is] terrible.
| הֲֽתַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּֽאַרְבֶּה הוֹד נַחְרוֹ אֵימָֽה׃ |
21 They dig in a valley, and he rejoices in power, He goes forth to meet the armor.
| יַחְפְּרוּ בָעֵמֶק וְיָשִׂישׂ בְּכֹחַ יֵצֵא לִקְרַאת־נָֽשֶׁק׃ |
22 He laughs at fear, and is not frightened, And he does not turn back from the face of the sword.
| יִשְׂחַק לְפַחַד וְלֹא יֵחָת וְלֹא־יָשׁוּב מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב׃ |
23 Quiver rattles against him, The flame of a spear, and a javelin.
| עָלָיו תִּרְנֶה אַשְׁפָּה לַהַב חֲנִית וְכִידֽוֹן׃ |
24 He swallows the ground with trembling and rage, And does not remain steadfast Because of the sound of a horn.
| בְּרַעַשׁ וְרֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־אָרֶץ וְלֹא־יַאֲמִין כִּי־קוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃ |
25 Among the horns he says, Aha, And from afar he smells battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.
| בְּדֵי שֹׁפָר ׀ יֹאמַר הֶאָח וּֽמֵרָחוֹק יָרִיחַ מִלְחָמָה רַעַם שָׂרִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃ |
26 By your understanding does a hawk fly? Does he spread his wings to the south?
| הֲֽמִבִּינָתְךָ יַאֲבֶר־נֵץ יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָו לְתֵימָֽן׃ |
27 At your command does an eagle go up high? Or lift up his nest?
| אִם־עַל־פִּיךָ יַגְבִּיהַּ נָשֶׁר וְכִי יָרִים קִנּֽוֹ׃ |
28 He inhabits a rock, Indeed, he lodges on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.
| סֶלַע יִשְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָן עַל שֶׁן־סֶלַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃ |
29 From there he has sought food, His eyes look attentively to a far-off place,
| מִשָּׁם חָֽפַר־אֹכֶל לְמֵרָחוֹק עֵינָיו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃ |
30 And his brood sucks up blood, And where the pierced [are]—there [is] he!”
| וְאֶפְרֹחָו יְעַלְעוּ־דָם וּבַאֲשֶׁר חֲלָלִים שָׁם הֽוּא׃ |
