Job 41
1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?
“Ati hokkoo qurxummiitiin Lewaataan harkiftee baasuu yookaan arraba isaa funyoodhaan hidhuu ni dandeessaa?
2 Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
Funyaan isaa keessa funyoo baasuu yookaan lafee mangaagaa isaa hokkoodhaan uruu ni dandeessaa?
3 Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?
Inni akka ati isaaf araaramtuuf guddisee si kadhataa? Afaan nagaatiinis sitti ni dubbataa?
4 Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
Akka ati bara baraan garbicha godhattuuf inni si wajjin kakuu ni galaa?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?
Ati akka simbirroota wajjin taphattu isa wajjin ni taphattaa? Yookaan shamarran keetiif isa ni hiitaa?
6 Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?
Daldaltoonni isa irratti gatii wal dubbatuu? Warra bitee gurguruufis isa ni qooduu?
7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?
Ati gogaa isaa xiyyaan, yookaan mataa isaa hokkoo ittiin qurxummii qabaniin wawwaraanuu ni dandeessaa?
8 Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.
Yoo harka keetiin isa tuqxe, walʼaansoo sana ni yaadatta; deebitees waan sana hin gootu!
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Isa moʼanna jedhanii abdachuun soba; ijumaan isa ilaaluunuu nama hollachiisa.
10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
Namni isa dammaqsuuf garaa qabaatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Egaa namni na dura dhaabachuu dandaʼu eenyu?
11 Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
Namni waa natti kennatee ani deebisuufii qabu eenyu? Wanni samii jala jiru hundinuu kanuma koo ti.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
“Ani waaʼee harkaa fi miilla isaa, waaʼee jabinaa fi dhaaba toluu isaa dubbachuu hin dhiisu.
13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who will come within his jaws?
Eenyutu uffata inni irraan uffatu irraa baasa? Eenyutu luugama qabatee isatti dhiʼaata?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
Eenyutu balbala afaan isaa isa ilkaan isaa sodaachisaa sanaan marfame banuu dandaʼa?
15 Strong scales are his pride, shut up together with a close seal.
Dugdi isaa gaachanawwan tarree galan, kanneen akka malee walitti maxxanfaman qaba;
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
tokkoon tokkoon gaachanawwan sanaa akka qilleensi gidduu isaanii hin baaneef baayʼee walitti maxxanu.
17 They are joined to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
Isaan jabeeffamanii walitti qabsiifaman; waan walitti fayyaniif gargar hin baafaman.
18 His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Haxxissoon isaa balaqqeessa ifaa baasa; iji isaa immoo akkuma ifa biiftuu reefuu baatuu ti.
19 Out of his mouth go burning torches. Sparks of fire leap out.
Afaan isaa keessaa arraba ibiddaatu baʼa; qaanqeenis afaan isaa keessaa ni faffacaʼa.
20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
Akkuma aara xuwwee ibidda shambaqqoo irratti dafqu keessaa baʼuu funyaan isaatii aarri ni baʼa.
21 His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.
Hafuurri afaan isaatii baʼu cilee ibiddaa qabsiisa; afaan isaa keessaas arrabni ibiddaa ni baʼa.
22 There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.
Morma isaa keessa jabinatu jira; sodaachisuunis fuula isaa dura ni utaala.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.
Dachaan foon isaa wal qabateera; dachaan sunis walitti fayyeera; hin sochoʼus.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.
Lapheen isaa akka kattaa jabaata; akka dhagaa daakuus jabaa dha.
25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.
Yeroo inni ol kaʼutti, jajjaboonni ni sodaatu; yommuu inni lafa sochoosaa dhufutti isaan of irra garagalanii baqatu.
26 If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
Goraadeen itti buʼu illee homaa isa hin godhu; eeboon yookaan xiyyi yookaan ankaaseenis homaa isa hin godhu.
27 He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
Inni sibiila akka cidiitti, naasii immoo akka muka tortoreetti heda.
28 The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.
Xiyyi isa hin baqachiisu; dhagaan furrisaa isaaf akkuma habaqii ti.
29 Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
Bokkuun isaaf akkuma cidii ti; inni mirmirfamuu eebootti ni kolfa.
30 His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
Garaan isaa jalli akka cabaa okkotee kan qara qabuu ti; akka muka ittiin midhaan dhaʼaniittis dhoqqee baqaqsa.
31 He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
Inni tuujuba akka okkotee dafquutti koqsiisa; galaanas akkuma bilqaaxxii dibataa raasa.
32 He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.
Inni duuba isaatiin akka karaan ifu ni godha; namni waan tuujubni sun rifeensa adii qabu seʼa.
33 On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.
Uumamni homaa hin sodaanne, kan isaan qixxaatu tokko iyyuu lafa irra hin jiru.
34 He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”
Inni warra of tuulu ni tuffata; warra of jaju hunda irratti mootii dha.”
