Job 41
1 “Can you 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 Can you 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 petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?
के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
4 Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
के त्यसले तँसित करार गर्नेछ, जसले गर्दा सदाको निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई कमारो बनाउनुपर्छ?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?
तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्नेछस् र?
6 Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?
के मछुवाहरूका समूहरूले त्यसको लागि बार्गेनिङ् गर्नेछन्? के तिनीहरूले त्यसको व्यापार गर्न व्यापारीहरूका बिचमा भाग लगाउनेछन्?
7 Can you 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 your hand on 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. Won’t 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 who 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 has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens 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 goodly frame.
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 will come within his jaws?
त्यसको बाहिरको पोशाकलाई कसले उतार्न सक्छ? ढाल जस्तो त्यसको दोहोरो छाला कसले छेड्न सक्छ?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
15 Strong scales are his pride, shut up together 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 to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
ती एक-अर्कामा टाँसिएका हुन्छन् । छुट्ट्याउनै नसकिने गरी ती एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् ।
18 His sneezing flashes out light. 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. Sparks of fire leap out.
त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
21 His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.
त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
22 There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.
त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.
त्यसका छालाका पत्रहरू एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् । उसमा ती यति कडा हुन्छन् । ती पल्टाउन सकिंदैन ।
24 His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.
त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.
त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
26 If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; 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 counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
त्यसले फलामलाई पराल भएझैं, र काँसालाई कुहेको काठ भएझैं ठान्छ ।
28 The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.
काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
29 Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
30 His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्छ ।
31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
32 He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.
त्यसले आफ्नो पछाडि चम्कने रेखा बनाउँछ । कसैले त्यसलाई गहिरो पानीमा फुलेको कपालजस्तै ठान्छ ।
33 On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.
पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
34 He sees everything 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 ।”
