अय्यूब 41
1 के एउटा बल्छीले तैंले लिव्यातन्लाई तान्न सक्छस्? अर्थात् एउटा डोरीले त्यसको बङ्गारा बाँध्न सक्छस्?
Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or tie up his jaws with a cord?
2 के त्यसको नाकमा तैंले डोरी लगाउन सक्छस्? एउटा बल्छीले त्यसको बङ्गारा छेड्न सक्छस्?
Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3 के त्यसले तँलाई धेरै बिन्ती चढाउनेछ र? के त्यसले तँसित नम्र वचनहरू बोल्नेछ र?
Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak soft words to you?
4 के त्यसले तँसित करार गर्नेछ, जसले गर्दा सदाको निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई कमारो बनाउनुपर्छ?
Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
5 तैले चरासित खेलेझैं के तँ त्योसित खेल्नेछस् र? तेरा दासीहरूका निम्ति तैंले त्यसलाई बाँध्नेछस् र?
Will you play with him as you would with a bird? Will you tie him up for your servant girls?
6 के मछुवाहरूका समूहरूले त्यसको लागि बार्गेनिङ् गर्नेछन्? के तिनीहरूले त्यसको व्यापार गर्न व्यापारीहरूका बिचमा भाग लगाउनेछन्?
Will the groups of fishermen bargain for him? Will they divide him up to trade among the merchants?
7 के तैंले त्यसको छालामा चक्कु हान्न, अर्थात् टाउकोमा माछा मार्ने भाला हान्न सक्छस्?
Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8 एकपल्ट त्यसमाथि आफ्नो हात राख्, अनि तँलाई त्यो युद्धको सम्झना हुनेछ, र फेरि तैंले कदापि त्यसो गर्नेछैनस् ।
Put your hand on him just once, and you will remember the battle and do it no more.
9 हेर्, त्यसो गर्ने कसैको आशा पनि झुटो सबित हुन्छ । के त्यसको हेराइले पनि कोही मूर्छै परेर भुइँमा ढल्नेछैनन् र?
See, the hope of anyone who does that is a lie; will not anyone be thrown down to the ground just by the sight of him?
10 कोही पनि यति हिंस्रक छैन त्यसले लिव्यातन्लाई उत्तेजित पार्ने आँट गर्छ । त्यसो हो भने, मेरो सामु को खडा हुन सक्छ?
None is so fierce that he dare stir Leviathan up; who, then, is he who can stand before me?
11 मैले तिर्नुपर्ने गरी कसले मलाई कुनै कुरो दिएको छ र? सम्पूर्ण आकाशमुनि भएका सबै थोक मेरै हुन् ।
Who has first given anything to me in order that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole sky is mine.
12 लिव्यातन्का खुट्टाहरूको विषयमा म चुप लाग्नेछैनँ, न त्यसको बल, न त त्यसको भव्य आकारको विषयमा चुप लाग्नेछु ।
I will not keep silent concerning Leviathan's legs, nor about the matter of his strength, nor about his graceful form.
13 त्यसको बाहिरको पोशाकलाई कसले उतार्न सक्छ? ढाल जस्तो त्यसको दोहोरो छाला कसले छेड्न सक्छ?
Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double armor?
14 त्यसको मुखका ढोकाहरू कसले खोल्न — त्यसका दाँत बजाउन सक्छ, जुन त्रासदी हो ।
Who can open the doors of his face— ringed with his teeth, which are a terror?
15 तिनका ढाडका छालाहरू ढालका लहरहरूझैं, एउटा बन्द छापझैं एकसाथ जोडिएका हुन्छन् ।
his back is made up of rows of shields, tight together as with a close seal.
16 एक अर्कोमा यसरी टाँसिन्छन्, जसको बिचबाट हावा पनि छिर्न सक्दैन ।
One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
17 ती एक-अर्कामा टाँसिएका हुन्छन् । छुट्ट्याउनै नसकिने गरी ती एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् ।
They are joined to each other; they stick together, so that they cannot be pulled apart.
18 त्यसले हाच्छीं गर्दा बाहिर झिल्काहरू निस्कन्छन् । त्यसका आँखा बिहानको पलकजस्तै छन् ।
Light flashes out from his snorting; his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning dawn.
19 त्यसको मुखबाट बलिरहेका राँकोहरू, आगोका झिल्काहरू बाहिर निस्कन्छन् ।
Out of his mouth go burning torches, sparks of fire leap out.
20 तताउनलाई आगोमाथि राखेको भाँडोबाट वाफ निस्केझैं, त्यसका नाकका प्वालहरूबाट धुवाँ निस्कन्छन् ।
Out of his nostrils goes smoke like a boiling pot on a fire that has been fanned to be very hot.
21 त्यसको सासले कोइलालाई बालिदिन्छ । त्यसको मुखबाट आगो निस्कन्छ ।
His breath kindles coals into flame; fires go out from his mouth.
22 त्यसको गर्धनमा बल हुन्छ, र त्यसको सामु त्रासले नाच लगाउँछ ।
In his neck is strength, and terror dances in front of him.
23 त्यसका छालाका पत्रहरू एकसाथ टाँसिन्छन् । उसमा ती यति कडा हुन्छन् । ती पल्टाउन सकिंदैन ।
The folds of his flesh are joined together; they are firm on him; they cannot be moved.
24 त्यसको मुटु ढुङ्गाजस्तै कडा हुन्छ । वास्तवमा जाँतोको तल्लो पाटोझैं कडा हुन्छ ।
His heart is as hard as a stone— indeed, as hard as a lower millstone.
25 त्यो खडा हुँदा देवताहरू पनि डराउँछन् । डरको कारण ती पछि हट्छन् ।
When he raises himself up, even the gods become afraid; because of fear, they draw back.
26 तरवारले त्यसलाई हान्ने हो भने, त्यसले केही हुँदैन, न त भाला, काँड वा अरू कुनै चुच्चे हतियारले त्यसलाई केही हुन्छ ।
If a sword strikes him, it does nothing— and neither does a spear, an arrow, or any other pointed weapon.
27 त्यसले फलामलाई पराल भएझैं, र काँसालाई कुहेको काठ भएझैं ठान्छ ।
He thinks of iron as if it were straw, and of bronze as if it were rotten wood.
28 काँडले त्यसलाई भगाउन सक्दैन । घुयेंत्रोले हानेको ढुङ्गा त त्यसको लागि भुस बन्छ ।
An arrow cannot make him flee; to him sling stones become chaff.
29 मुङ्ग्राहरूलाई त परालझैं ठानिन्छ । भालाको प्रहारमा त त्यसले गिल्ला गर्छ ।
Clubs are regarded as straw; he laughs at the whirring flight of a spear.
30 त्यसको भुँसी भागहरू माटोका भाँडाका कडा खपटाहरूजस्तै हुन्छन् । घिस्रिंदा दाँदेको डोबझैं त्यसले माटोमा फैलेको डोब छोड्छ ।
His lower parts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery; he leaves a spreading trail in the mud as if he were a threshing sledge.
31 त्यसले गहिरो पानीलाई पानी उम्लको भाँडोजस्तै उमाल्छ । त्यसले समुद्रलाई मलहमको भाँडोजस्तै बनाउँछ ।
He makes the deep to foam up like a pot of boiling water; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 त्यसले आफ्नो पछाडि चम्कने रेखा बनाउँछ । कसैले त्यसलाई गहिरो पानीमा फुलेको कपालजस्तै ठान्छ ।
He makes a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had gray hair.
33 पृथ्वीमा त्यसको बराबरी कोही छैन, जसलाई बिनाडर बाँच्न बनाइएको छ ।
On earth there is no equal to him, who has been made to live without fear.
34 हरेक अहङ्कारी कुरालाई त्यसले हेर्छ । घमण्डका सबै छोराहरूमध्ये त्यो त राजा नै हो ।”
He sees everything that is proud; he is king over all the sons of pride.”
