איוב 39
| הֲיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לֶדֶת יַעֲלֵי־סָלַע חֹלֵל אַיָּלוֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
| תִּסְפֹּר יְרָחִים תְּמַלֶּאנָה וְיָדַעְתָּ עֵת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃ | 2 |
Canst thou number the months [that] they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
| תִּכְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶן תְּפַלַּחְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃ | 3 |
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
| יַחְלְמוּ בְנֵיהֶם יִרְבּוּ בַבָּר יָצְאוּ וְלֹא־שָׁבוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 4 |
Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.
| מִי־שִׁלַּח פֶּרֶא חׇפְשִׁי וּמֹסְרוֹת עָרוֹד מִי פִתֵּֽחַ׃ | 5 |
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
| אֲשֶׁר־שַׂמְתִּי עֲרָבָה בֵיתוֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָיו מְלֵחָֽה׃ | 6 |
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
| יִשְׂחַק לַהֲמוֹן קִרְיָה תְּשֻׁאוֹת נֹגֵשׂ לֹא יִשְׁמָֽע׃ | 7 |
He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
| יְתוּר הָרִים מִרְעֵהוּ וְאַחַר כׇּל־יָרוֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃ | 8 |
The range of the mountains [is] his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
| הֲיֹאבֶה רֵּים עׇבְדֶךָ אִם־יָלִין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
| הֲֽתִקְשׇׁר־רֵים בְּתֶלֶם עֲבֹתוֹ אִם־יְשַׂדֵּד עֲמָקִים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
| הֲֽתִבְטַח־בּוֹ כִּֽי־רַב כֹּחוֹ וְתַעֲזֹב אֵלָיו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃ | 11 |
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great? or wilt thou leave thy labor to him?
| הֲתַאֲמִין בּוֹ כִּֽי־[יָשִׁיב] (ישוב) זַרְעֶךָ וְֽגׇרְנְךָ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ | 12 |
Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [it into] thy barn?
| כְּנַף־רְנָנִים נֶעֱלָסָה אִם־אֶבְרָה חֲסִידָה וְנֹצָֽה׃ | 13 |
[Gavest thou] the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich!
| כִּי־תַעֲזֹב לָאָרֶץ בֵּצֶיהָ וְֽעַל־עָפָר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃ | 14 |
Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
| וַתִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־רֶגֶל תְּזוּרֶהָ וְחַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה תְדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃ | 15 |
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
| הִקְשִׁיחַ בָּנֶיהָ לְּלֹא־לָהּ לְרִיק יְגִיעָהּ בְּלִי־פָֽחַד׃ | 16 |
She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;
| כִּי־הִשָּׁהּ אֱלוֹהַּ חׇכְמָה וְלֹא־חָלַק לָהּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃ | 17 |
Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
| כָּעֵת בַּמָּרוֹם תַּמְרִיא תִּֽשְׂחַק לַסּוּס וּלְרֹכְבֽוֹ׃ | 18 |
When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
| הֲתִתֵּן לַסּוּס גְּבוּרָה הֲתַלְבִּישׁ צַוָּארוֹ רַעְמָֽה׃ | 19 |
Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
| הֲֽתַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּֽאַרְבֶּה הוֹד נַחְרוֹ אֵימָֽה׃ | 20 |
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils [is] terrible.
| יַחְפְּרוּ בָעֵמֶק וְיָשִׂישׂ בְּכֹחַ יֵצֵא לִקְרַאת־נָֽשֶׁק׃ | 21 |
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
| יִשְׂחַק לְפַחַד וְלֹא יֵחָת וְלֹא־יָשׁוּב מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב׃ | 22 |
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
| עָלָיו תִּרְנֶה אַשְׁפָּה לַהַב חֲנִית וְכִידֽוֹן׃ | 23 |
The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
| בְּרַעַשׁ וְרֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־אָרֶץ וְלֹא־יַאֲמִין כִּי־קוֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃ | 24 |
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that [it is] the sound of the trumpet.
| בְּדֵי שֹׁפָר ׀ יֹאמַר הֶאָח וּֽמֵרָחוֹק יָרִיחַ מִלְחָמָה רַעַם שָׂרִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃ | 25 |
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
| הֲֽמִבִּינָתְךָ יַאֲבֶר־נֵץ יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָו לְתֵימָֽן׃ | 26 |
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, [and] stretch her wings towards the south?
| אִם־עַל־פִּיךָ יַגְבִּיהַּ נָשֶׁר וְכִי יָרִים קִנּֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
| סֶלַע יִשְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָן עַל שֶׁן־סֶלַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃ | 28 |
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
| מִשָּׁם חָֽפַר־אֹכֶל לְמֵרָחוֹק עֵינָיו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃ | 29 |
From thence she seeketh the prey, [and] her eyes behold afar off.
| וְאֶפְרֹחָו יְעַלְעוּ־דָם וּבַאֲשֶׁר חֲלָלִים שָׁם הֽוּא׃ | 30 |
Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain [are], there [is] she.
