אִיּוֹב 39
| הֲיָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֭ת לֶ֣דֶת יַעֲלֵי־סָ֑לַע חֹלֵ֖ל אַיָּל֣וֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃ | 1 |
Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
| תִּסְפֹּ֣ר יְרָחִ֣ים תְּמַלֶּ֑אנָה וְ֝יָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֣ת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃ | 2 |
Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?
| תִּ֭כְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶ֣ן תְּפַלַּ֑חְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶ֥ם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃ | 3 |
They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.
| יַחְלְמ֣וּ בְ֭נֵיהֶם יִרְבּ֣וּ בַבָּ֑ר יָ֝צְא֗וּ וְלֹא־שָׁ֥בוּ לָֽמוֹ׃ | 4 |
Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.
| מִֽי־שִׁלַּ֣ח פֶּ֣רֶא חָפְשִׁ֑י וּמֹסְר֥וֹת עָ֝ר֗וֹד מִ֣י פִתֵּֽחַ׃ | 5 |
Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?
| אֲשֶׁר־שַׂ֣מְתִּי עֲרָבָ֣ה בֵית֑וֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה׃ | 6 |
It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.
| יִ֭שְׂחַק לַהֲמ֣וֹן קִרְיָ֑ה תְּשֻׁא֥וֹת נ֝וֹגֵ֗שׂ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמָֽע׃ | 7 |
He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.
| יְת֣וּר הָרִ֣ים מִרְעֵ֑הוּ וְאַחַ֖ר כָּל־יָר֣וֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃ | 8 |
He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.
| הֲיֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣ים עָבְדֶ֑ךָ אִם־יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃ | 9 |
Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?
| הֲֽתִקְשָׁר־רֵ֭ים בְּתֶ֣לֶם עֲבֹת֑וֹ אִם־יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃ | 10 |
Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?
| הֲֽתִבְטַח־בּ֭וֹ כִּי־רַ֣ב כֹּח֑וֹ וְתַעֲזֹ֖ב אֵלָ֣יו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃ | 11 |
Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?
| הֲתַאֲמִ֣ין בּ֭וֹ כִּי־יָשִׁ֣יב זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וְֽגָרְנְךָ֥ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃ | 12 |
Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?
| כְּנַף־רְנָנִ֥ים נֶעֱלָ֑סָה אִם־אֶ֝בְרָ֗ה חֲסִידָ֥ה וְנֹצָֽה׃ | 13 |
Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?
| כִּֽי־תַעֲזֹ֣ב לָאָ֣רֶץ בֵּצֶ֑יהָ וְֽעַל־עָפָ֥ר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃ | 14 |
Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,
| וַ֭תִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־רֶ֣גֶל תְּזוּרֶ֑הָ וְחַיַּ֖ת הַשָּׂדֶ֣ה תְּדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃ | 15 |
And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.
| הִקְשִׁ֣יחַ בָּנֶ֣יהָ לְּלֹא־לָ֑הּ לְרִ֖יק יְגִיעָ֣הּ 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.
| כִּֽי־הִשָּׁ֣הּ אֱל֣וֹהַּ חָכְמָ֑ה וְלֹא־חָ֥לַק לָ֝֗הּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃ | 17 |
For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.
| כָּ֭עֵת בַּמָּר֣וֹם תַּמְרִ֑יא תִּֽשְׂחַ֥ק לַ֝סּ֗וּס וּלְרֹֽכְבֽוֹ׃ | 18 |
When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
| הֲתִתֵּ֣ן לַסּ֣וּס גְּבוּרָ֑ה הֲתַלְבִּ֖ישׁ צַוָּאר֣וֹ רַעְמָֽה׃ | 19 |
Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?
| הְֽ֭תַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּאַרְבֶּ֑ה ה֖וֹד נַחְר֣וֹ אֵימָֽה׃ | 20 |
Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.
| יַחְפְּר֣וּ בָ֭עֵמֶק וְיָשִׂ֣ישׂ בְּכֹ֑חַ יֵ֝צֵ֗א לִקְרַאת־נָֽשֶׁק׃ | 21 |
He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.
| יִשְׂחַ֣ק לְ֭פַחַד וְלֹ֣א יֵחָ֑ת וְלֹֽא־יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב׃ | 22 |
He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,
| עָ֭לָיו תִּרְנֶ֣ה אַשְׁפָּ֑ה לַ֖הַב חֲנִ֣ית וְכִידֽוֹן׃ | 23 |
Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
| בְּרַ֣עַשׁ וְ֭רֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־אָ֑רֶץ וְלֹֽא־יַ֝אֲמִ֗ין כִּי־ק֥וֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃ | 24 |
He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.
| בְּדֵ֤י שֹׁפָ֨ר ׀ יֹ֘אמַ֤ר הֶאָ֗ח וּֽ֭מֵרָחוֹק יָרִ֣יחַ מִלְחָמָ֑ה רַ֥עַם שָׂ֝רִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃ | 25 |
He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.
| הֲֽ֭מִבִּינָ֣תְךָ יַֽאֲבֶר־נֵ֑ץ יִפְרֹ֖שׂ כְּנָפָ֣יו לְתֵימָֽן׃ | 26 |
Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?
| אִם־עַל־פִּ֭יךָ יַגְבִּ֣יהַּ נָ֑שֶׁר וְ֝כִ֗י יָרִ֥ים קִנּֽוֹ׃ | 27 |
Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?
| סֶ֣לַע יִ֭שְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָ֑ן עַֽל־שֶׁן־סֶ֝֗לַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃ | 28 |
Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.
| מִשָּׁ֥ם חָֽפַר־אֹ֑כֶל לְ֝מֵרָח֗וֹק עֵינָ֥יו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃ | 29 |
From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.
| וְאֶפְרֹחָ֥יו יְעַלְעוּ־דָ֑ם וּבַאֲשֶׁ֥ר חֲ֝לָלִ֗ים שָׁ֣ם הֽוּא׃ פ | 30 |
His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.
