யோபு 41
1 ௧ “லிவியாதானை தூண்டிலைக்கொண்டு பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ? அதின் நாக்கை நீ விடுகிற கயிற்றினாலே பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ?
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?
Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
5 ௫ ஒரு குருவியுடன் விளையாடுகிறதுபோல், நீ அதனுடன் விளையாடி, அதை நீ உன் பெண்களுக்கு அருகில் கட்டிவைப்பாயோ?
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Will the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?
11 ௧௧ தனக்குப் பதில்கொடுக்கப்படும்படி, முந்தி எனக்குக் கொடுத்தவன் யார்? வானத்தின் கீழுள்ளவைகள் எல்லாம் என்னுடையவைகள்.
Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
12 ௧௨ அதின் உறுப்புகளும், அதின் வீரியமும், அதின் உடல் இசைவின் அழகும் இன்னதென்று நான் சொல்லாமல் மறைக்கமாட்டேன்.
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
13 ௧௩ அது மூடியிருக்கிற அதின் போர்வையைக் எடுக்கக்கூடியவன் யார்? அதின் இரண்டு தாடைகளின் நடுவே கடிவாளம் போடத்தக்கவன் யார்?
Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?
Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15 ௧௫ முத்திரைப் பதிப்புபோல அழுத்தங்கொண்டு அடர்த்தியாயிருக்கிற அதின் கேடகங்களின் அமைப்பு மகா சிறப்பாயிருக்கிறது.
[His] strong scales are [his] pride, Shut up together [as with] a close seal.
One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.
His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.
20 ௨0 கொதிக்கிற சட்டியிலும் கொப்பரையிலும் இருந்து புறப்படுகிறதுபோல, அதின் மூக்கிலிருந்து புகை புறப்படும்.
Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.
His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him.
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.
When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
He counteth iron as straw, [And] brass as rotten wood.
The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
30 ௩0 அதின் கீழாகக் கூர்மையான கற்கள் கிடந்தாலும், அது சேற்றின்மேல் ஓடுகிறதுபோல கூர்மையான அவைகளின்மேலும் ஓடும்.
His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: He spreadeth [as it were] a threshing-wain upon the mire.
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.
Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.
34 ௩௪ அது மேட்டிமையானதையெல்லாம் அற்பமாக நினைக்கிறது; அது அகங்காரமுள்ள உயிரினங்களுக்கெல்லாம் ராஜாவாக இருக்கிறது” என்றார்.
He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.
