Job 40
1 And the Lord addide, and spak to Joob,
| וַיַּעַן יְהֹוָה אֶת־אִיּוֹב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 Whether he, that stryueth with God, schal haue rest so liytli? Sotheli he, that repreueth God, owith for to answere to hym.
| הֲרֹב עִם־שַׁדַּי יִסּוֹר מוֹכִיחַ אֱלוֹהַּ יַעֲנֶֽנָּה׃ |
3 Forsothe Joob answeride to the Lord,
| וַיַּעַן אִיּוֹב אֶת־יְהֹוָה וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
4 and seide, What may Y answere, which haue spoke liytli? Y schal putte myn hond on my mouth.
| הֵן קַלֹּתִי מָה אֲשִׁיבֶךָּ יָדִי שַׂמְתִּי לְמוֹ־פִֽי׃ |
5 Y spak o thing, which thing Y wold, that Y hadde not seid; and Y spak anothir thing, to which Y schal no more adde.
| אַחַת דִּבַּרְתִּי וְלֹא אֶעֱנֶה וּשְׁתַּיִם וְלֹא אוֹסִֽיף׃ |
6 Forsothe the Lord answeride to Joob fro the whirlewynd,
| וַיַּעַן־יְהֹוָה אֶת־אִיּוֹב (מנסערה) [מִן ׀ סְעָרָה] וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
7 and seide, Girde thou as a man thi leendis, and Y schal axe thee, and schewe thou to me.
| אֱזׇר־נָא כְגֶבֶר חֲלָצֶיךָ אֶשְׁאָלְךָ וְהוֹדִיעֵֽנִי׃ |
8 Whether thou schalt make voide my doom, and schalt condempne me, that thou be maad iust?
| הַאַף תָּפֵר מִשְׁפָּטִי תַּרְשִׁיעֵנִי לְמַעַן תִּצְדָּֽק׃ |
9 And if thou hast an arm, as God hath, and if thou thundrist with lijk vois, `take thou fairnesse aboute thee,
| וְאִם־זְרוֹעַ כָּאֵל ׀ לָךְ וּבְקוֹל כָּמֹהוּ תַרְעֵֽם׃ |
10 and be thou reisid an hiy, and be thou gloriouse, and be thou clothid `in faire clothis.
| עֲדֵה נָא גָאוֹן וָגֹבַהּ וְהוֹד וְהָדָר תִּלְבָּֽשׁ׃ |
11 Distrie thou proude men in thi woodnesse, and biholde thou, and make lowe ech bostere.
| הָפֵץ עֶבְרוֹת אַפֶּךָ וּרְאֵה כׇל־גֵּאֶה וְהַשְׁפִּילֵֽהוּ׃ |
12 Biholde thou alle proude men, and schende thou hem; and al to-breke thou wickid men in her place.
| רְאֵה כׇל־גֵּאֶה הַכְנִיעֵהוּ וַהֲדֹךְ רְשָׁעִים תַּחְתָּֽם׃ |
13 Hide thou hem in dust togidere, and drenche doun her faces in to a diche.
| טׇמְנֵם בֶּעָפָר יָחַד פְּנֵיהֶם חֲבֹשׁ בַּטָּמֽוּן׃ |
14 And Y schal knowleche, that thi riyt hond may saue thee.
| וְגַם־אֲנִי אוֹדֶךָּ כִּֽי־תוֹשִׁעַ לְךָ יְמִינֶֽךָ׃ |
15 Lo! behemot, whom Y made with thee, schal as an oxe ete hey.
| הִנֵּה־נָא בְהֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי עִמָּךְ חָצִיר כַּבָּקָר יֹאכֵֽל׃ |
16 His strengthe is in hise leendis, and his vertu is in the nawle of his wombe.
| הִנֵּה־נָא כֹחוֹ בְמׇתְנָיו וְאוֹנוֹ בִּשְׁרִירֵי בִטְנֽוֹ׃ |
17 He streyneth his tail as a cedre; the senewis of his `stones of gendrure ben foldid togidere.
| יַחְפֹּץ זְנָבוֹ כְמוֹ־אָרֶז גִּידֵי פַחֲדָו יְשֹׂרָֽגוּ׃ |
18 Hise boonys ben as the pipis of bras; the gristil of hym is as platis of yrun.
| עֲצָמָיו אֲפִיקֵי נְחֻשָׁה גְּרָמָיו כִּמְטִיל בַּרְזֶֽל׃ |
19 He is the bigynnyng of the weies of God; he, that made hym, schal sette his swerd to hym.
| הוּא רֵאשִׁית דַּרְכֵי־אֵל הָעֹשׂוֹ יַגֵּשׁ חַרְבּֽוֹ׃ |
20 Hillis beren eerbis to this behemot; alle the beestis of the feeld pleien there.
| כִּי־בוּל הָרִים יִשְׂאוּ־לוֹ וְֽכׇל־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה יְשַׂחֲקוּ־שָֽׁם׃ |
21 He slepith vndur schadewe, in the pryuete of rehed, in moiste places.
| תַּֽחַת־צֶאֱלִים יִשְׁכָּב בְּסֵתֶר קָנֶה וּבִצָּֽה׃ |
22 Schadewis hilen his schadewe; the salewis of the ryuer cumpassen hym.
| יְסֻכֻּהוּ צֶאֱלִים צִֽלְלוֹ יְסֻבּוּהוּ עַרְבֵי־נָֽחַל׃ |
23 He schal soupe vp the flood, and he schal not wondre; he hath trist, that Jordan schal flowe in to his mouth.
| הֵן יַעֲשֹׁק נָהָר לֹא יַחְפּוֹז יִבְטַח ׀ כִּֽי־יָגִיחַ יַרְדֵּן אֶל־פִּֽיהוּ׃ |
24 He schal take hem bi `the iyen of hym, as bi an hook; and bi scharpe schaftis he schal perse hise nosethirlis.
| בְּעֵינָיו יִקָּחֶנּוּ בְּמוֹקְשִׁים יִנְקׇב־אָֽף׃ |
