< Job 41 >

1 Kabaelam kadi a banniitan ti leviatan? Wenno galutan ti sungona?
“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?
2 Kabaelam kadi a talian ti agongna, wenno duyoken ti pangalna babaen iti banniit?
Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3 Agpakaasi kadi kenka daytoy? Makisao kadi kenka daytoy iti naalumamay?
Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?
4 Makitulag kadi daytoy kenka, nga alaem isuna nga agbalin nga adipenmo iti agnanayon?
Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
5 Makiaay-ayamka kadi kenkuana a kas iti billit? Galutam kadi isuna para kadagiti adipenmo a babbai?
Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?
6 Makitinnawar kadi dagiti bunggoy ti mangngalap para kenkuana? Tadtadenda kadi isuna nga isukatda kadagiti aglaklako?
Will traders barter for him? Will they part him amongst the merchants?
7 Kabaelam kadi a punnoen ti kudilna iti gayang wenno ti ulona iti pangkalap a pika?
Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?
8 Sagidem isuna iti uray maminsan laeng, ket malaglagipmonto ti panakirangetna ket saanmonton nga uliten daytoy.
Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.
9 Kitaem, ti namnama ti siasinoman a mangar-aramid iti dayta ket ubbaw; saan kadi a matuang iti daga ti siasinoman uray no makitada laeng daytoy?
Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 Awan ti narungsot a makaitured a mangriribuk iti leviatan; siasino ngarud ti makaitured a tumakder iti sangoanak?
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
11 Siasino ti immun-una a nakaited iti aniaman a banag kaniak tapno agsubadak koma kenkuana? Aniaman nga adda iti sirok ti sibubukel a tangatang ket kukuak.
Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
12 Saanak nga agulimek maipanggep kadagiti saka ti leviatan, wenno maipapan iti pigsana, wenno ti makaay-ayo a langana.
“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
13 Siasino ti makaikkat iti akinruar nga akkub ti bagina? Siasino ti makasalpot iti doble a kabalna?
Who can strip off his outer garment? Who will come within his jaws?
14 Siasino ti makalukat iti ruangan ti rupana - a napalikmutan kadagiti ngipenna, a nakabutbuteng?
Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
15 Naaramid ti bukotna iti naintar a salaknib, nagdedekketda a kas iti nagdidinnekket a pangserra.
Strong scales are his pride, shut up together with a close seal.
16 Naidekket unay ti maysa iti sabali pay nga awan pulos ti angin a makastrek iti nagbabaetan dagitoy.
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 Nagdidinnekketda iti tunggal maysa; nagkikinnapetda, tapno saanda a mapagsisina.
They are joined to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
18 Adda silnag a rummuar iti panagbang-esna; maiyarig dagiti matana iti panagsingising ti init iti parbangon.
His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Iti ngiwatna, rumuar ti kasla umap-apuy a pagsilawan, aglalagto a rummuar dagiti rissik ti apuy.
Out of his mouth go burning torches. Sparks of fire leap out.
20 Kadagiti abut ti agongna, rumuar ti asuk a kas iti agburburek a danum iti banga a nakasaang iti apuy a kasta unay ti pudotna.
Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
21 Pasgedan ti angesna dagiti uging; apuy ti rumuar manipud iti ngiwatna.
His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.
22 Iti tengngedna ket kinapigsa, ket nakabutbuteng ti lumablabas iti sangoananna.
There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.
23 Nagdidinnekket dagiti paspaset ti lasagna; nakalaglagdada; saanda a makuti.
The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.
24 Ti pusona ket kas katangken ti bato - pudno, katangtangken ti akinbaba a bato ti paggilingan.
His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.
25 No tumakder isuna, uray dagiti didiosen ket agbuteng; gapu iti buteng, agsanudda.
When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.
26 No maiduyok ti kampilan kenkuana, awan mamaayna - ken uray ti gayang ken pana wenno uray ania a natirad nga armas.
If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27 Kasla laeng garami, ti landok kenkuana, ken ti bronse ket kasla laeng narukop a kayo.
He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
28 Saan isuna a mapagtaray ti pana; para kenkuana, ti maipalsiit a bato ket kasla laeng taep.
The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.
29 Dagiti pang-or ket ibilbilangna a kas garami; katkatawaanna dagiti agtatayab a gayang nga agturong kenkuana.
Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
30 Dagiti akinbaba a pasetna ket maiyarig kadagiti natatadem a paset ti nabuong a banga; mangibati isuna iti tugot iti kapitakan a kasla maysa isuna a dakkel nga arado.
His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31 Pagburekenna ti nauneg a baybay a kas iti maysa a banga nga adda agburburek a danumna; pagbalinenna ti baybay a kasla banga ti sapsapo.
He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 Pagraniagenna ti pagnaanna; pagarupen ti makakita a nagbalin a puraw ti nauneg a baybay.
He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.
33 Iti rabaw ti daga, awan ti umasping kenkuana, a nagbiag nga awan pagbutnganna.
On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.
34 Makitkitana amin a napalangguad; isuna ti ari kadagiti amin nga annak ti kinapalangguad.”
He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”
