איוב 39
| הֲיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לֶדֶת יַעֲלֵי־סָלַע חֹלֵל אַיָּלוֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
| תִּסְפֹּר יְרָחִים תְּמַלֶּאנָה וְיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃ | 2 |
Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?
| תִּכְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶן תְּפַלַּחְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃ | 3 |
They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.
| יַחְלְמוּ בְנֵיהֶם יִרְבּוּ בַבָּר יָצְאוּ וְלֹא־שָׁבוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 4 |
Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.
| מִי־שִׁלַּח פֶּרֶא חׇפְשִׁי וּמֹסְרוֹת עָרוֹד מִי פִתֵּֽחַ׃ | 5 |
Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?
| אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי עֲרָבָה בֵיתוֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו מְלֵחָֽה׃ | 6 |
It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.
| יִשְׂחַק לַהֲמוֹן קִרְיָה תְּשֻׁאוֹת נֹגֵשׂ לֹא יִשְׁמָֽע׃ | 7 |
He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.
| יְתוּר הָרִים מִרְעֵהוּ וְאַחַר כׇּל־יָרוֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃ | 8 |
He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.
| הֲיֹאבֶה רֵּים עׇבְדֶךָ אִם־יָלִין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?
| הֲֽתִקְשׇׁר־רֵים בְּתֶלֶם עֲבֹתוֹ אִם־יְשַׂדֵּד עֲמָקִים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?
| הֲֽתִבְטַח־בּוֹ כִּֽי־רַב כֹּחוֹ וְתַעֲזֹב אֵלָיו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃ | 11 |
Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?
| הֲתַאֲמִין בּוֹ כִּֽי־[יָשִׁיב] (ישוב) זַרְעֶךָ וְֽגׇרְנְךָ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ | 12 |
Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?
| כְּנַף־רְנָנִים נֶעֱלָסָה אִם־אֶבְרָה חֲסִידָה וְנֹצָֽה׃ | 13 |
Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?
| כִּי־תַעֲזֹב לָאָרֶץ בֵּצֶיהָ וְֽעַל־עָפָר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃ | 14 |
Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,
| וַתִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־רֶגֶל תְּזוּרֶהָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה תְדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃ | 15 |
And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.
| הִקְשִׁיחַ בָּנֶיהָ לְּלֹא־לָהּ לְרִיק יְגִיעָהּ בְּלִי־פָֽחַד׃ | 16 |
He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.
| כִּי־הִשָּׁהּ אֱלוֹהַּ חׇכְמָה וְלֹא־חָלַק לָהּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃ | 17 |
For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.
| כָּעֵת בַּמָּרוֹם תַּמְרִיא תִּֽשְׂחַק לַסּוּס וּלְרֹכְבֽוֹ׃ | 18 |
When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
| הֲתִתֵּן לַסּוּס גְּבוּרָה הֲתַלְבִּישׁ צַוָּארוֹ רַעְמָֽה׃ | 19 |
Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?
| הֲֽתַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּֽאַרְבֶּה הוֹד נַחְרוֹ אֵימָֽה׃ | 20 |
Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.
| יַחְפְּרוּ בָעֵמֶק וְיָשִׂישׂ בְּכֹחַ יֵצֵא לִקְרַאת־נָֽשֶׁק׃ | 21 |
He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.
| יִשְׂחַק לְפַחַד וְלֹא יֵחָת וְלֹא־יָשׁוּב מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב׃ | 22 |
He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,
| עָלָיו תִּרְנֶה אַשְׁפָּה לַהַב חֲנִית וְכִידֽוֹן׃ | 23 |
Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
| בְּרַעַשׁ וְרֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־אָרֶץ וְלֹא־יַאֲמִין כִּי־קוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃ | 24 |
He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.
| בְּדֵי שֹׁפָר ׀ יֹאמַר הֶאָח וּֽמֵרָחוֹק יָרִיחַ מִלְחָמָה רַעַם שָׂרִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃ | 25 |
He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.
| הֲֽמִבִּינָתְךָ יַאֲבֶר־נֵץ יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָו לְתֵימָֽן׃ | 26 |
Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?
| אִם־עַל־פִּיךָ יַגְבִּיהַּ נָשֶׁר וְכִי יָרִים קִנּֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?
| סֶלַע יִשְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָן עַל שֶׁן־סֶלַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃ | 28 |
Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.
| מִשָּׁם חָֽפַר־אֹכֶל לְמֵרָחוֹק עֵינָיו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃ | 29 |
From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.
| וְאֶפְרֹחָו יְעַלְעוּ־דָם וּבַאֲשֶׁר חֲלָלִים שָׁם הֽוּא׃ | 30 |
His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.
