Job 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
के एउटा बल्छीले तैंले लिव्यातन्लाई तान्न सक्छस्? अर्थात् एउटा डोरीले त्यसको बङ्गारा बाँध्न सक्छस्?
2 Canst thou put a rope into his nose? or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
के त्यसको नाकमा तैंले डोरी लगाउन सक्छस्? एउटा बल्छीले त्यसको बङ्गारा छेड्न सक्छस्?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
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 bind him for thy maidens?
तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्नेछस् र?
6 Shall the bands [of fishermen] make traffic 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 Canst thou 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 thine hand upon him; remember the battle, and do so 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 he dare stir him up: who then is he 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 first given unto me, that I should repay him? [whatsoever 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 keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his comely proportion.
लिव्यातन्का खुट्टाहरूको विषयमा म चुप लाग्नेछैनँ, न त्यसको बल, न त त्यसको भव्य आकारको विषयमा चुप लाग्नेछु ।
13 Who can strip off his outer garment? who shall come within 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? round about his teeth is terror.
त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
15 His strong 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 His neesings flash forth light, 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 torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, as of a seething pot and [burning] rushes.
तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
22 In his neck abideth strength, and terror danceth before him.
त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm upon him; 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; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: by reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
26 If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
तरवारले त्यसलाई हान्ने हो भने, त्यसले केही हुँदैन, न त भाला, काँड वा अरू कुनै चुच्चे हतियारले त्यसलाई केही हुन्छ ।
27 He counteth 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: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
29 Clubs are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
30 His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: he spreadeth [as it were] a threshing wain upon the mire.
त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्छ ।
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like ointment.
त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
32 He maketh 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 Upon earth there is not his like, that is made without fear.
पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
34 He beholdeth every thing that is high: he is king over all the sons of pride.
हरेक अहङ्कारी कुरालाई त्यसले हेर्छ । घमण्डका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये त्यो त राजा नै हो ।”
