Job 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Hoæeš li udicom izvuæi krokodila ili užem podvezati mu jezik?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Hoæeš li mu provuæi situ kroz nos? ili mu šiljkom provrtjeti èeljusti?
3 Will he make many supplications to thee? will he speak soft words to thee?
Hoæe li te mnogo moliti, ili æe ti laskati?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
Hoæe li uèiniti vjeru s tobom da ga uzmeš da ti bude sluga dovijeka?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Hoæeš li se igrati s njim kao sa pticom, ili æeš ga vezati djevojkama svojim?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
Hoæe li se njim èastiti drugovi? razdijeliti ga meðu trgovce?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
Hoæeš li mu napuniti kožu šiljcima i glavu ostvama?
8 Lay thy hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Digni na nj ruku svoju; neæeš više pominjati boja.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Gle, zaludu je nadati mu se; kad ga samo ugleda èovjek, ne pada li?
10 None is so fierce that he dare rouse him: who then is able to stand before me?
Nema slobodna koji bi ga probudio; a ko æe stati preda me?
11 Who hath given to me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Ko mi je prije dao što, da mu vratim? što je god pod svijem nebom, moje je.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Neæu muèati o udima njegovijem ni o sili ni o ljepoti stasa njegova.
13 Who can uncover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Ko æe mu uzgrnuti gornju odjeæu? k èeljustima njegovijem ko æe pristupiti?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth there is terror.
Vrata od grla njegova ko æe otvoriti? strah je oko zuba njegovijeh.
15 His scales are his pride, shut together as with a close seal.
Krljušti su mu jaki štitovi spojeni tvrdo.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
Blizu su jedna do druge da ni vjetar ne ulazi meðu njih.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Jedna je za drugu prionula, drže se i ne rastavljaju se.
18 His sneezes flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Kad kiha kao da munja sijeva, a oèi su mu kao trepavice u zore.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire dart forth.
Iz usta mu izlaze luèevi, i iskre ognjene skaèu.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot or caldron.
Iz nozdrva mu izlazi dim kao iz vreloga lonca ili kotla.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Dah njegov raspaljuje ugljevlje i plamen mu izlazi iz usta.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
U vratu mu stoji sila, i pred njim ide strah.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Udi mesa njegova spojeni su, jednostavno je na njemu, ne razmièe se.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the lower millstone.
Srce mu je tvrdo kao kamen, tvrdo kao donji žrvanj.
25 When he raiseth himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of the crashing they purify themselves.
Kad se digne, dršæu junaci, i od straha oèišæaju se od grijeha svojih.
26 The sword of him that overtaketh him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the javelin.
Da ga udari maè, ne može se održati, ni koplje ni strijela ni oklop.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
Njemu je gvožðe kao pljeva, a mjed kao trulo drvo.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Neæe ga potjerati strijela, kamenje iz praæe njemu je kao slamka;
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Kao slama su mu ubojne sprave, i smije se baèenom koplju.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Pod njim su oštri crepovi, stere sebi oštre stvari u glibu.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
Èini, te vri dubina kao lonac, i more se muti kao u stupi.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
Za sobom ostavlja svijetlu stazu, rekao bi da je bezdana osijedjela.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Ništa nema na zemlji da bi se isporedilo s njim, da bi stvoreno bilo da se nièega ne boji.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Što je god visoko prezire, car je nad svijem zvijerjem.
