யோபு 41
1 ௧ “லிவியாதானை தூண்டிலைக்கொண்டு பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ? அதின் நாக்கை நீ விடுகிற கயிற்றினாலே பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ?
Canst thou draw forth the crocodile with a hook, Or press down his tongue with a cord?
Canst thou put a rope into his nose, Or pierce his cheek with a hook?
Will he make many entreaties to thee? Will he speak soft words to thee?
Will he make a covenant with thee? Canst thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 ௫ ஒரு குருவியுடன் விளையாடுகிறதுபோல், நீ அதனுடன் விளையாடி, அதை நீ உன் பெண்களுக்கு அருகில் கட்டிவைப்பாயோ?
Canst thou play with him, as with a bird? Or canst thou bind him for thy maidens?
Do men in company lay snares for him? Do they divide him among the merchants?
Canst thou fill his skirt with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
Do but lay thy hand upon him, —Thou wilt no more think of battle!
Behold, his hope is vain! Is he not cast down at the very 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 done me a favor, that I must repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 ௧௨ அதின் உறுப்புகளும், அதின் வீரியமும், அதின் உடல் இசைவின் அழகும் இன்னதென்று நான் சொல்லாமல் மறைக்கமாட்டேன்.
I will not be silent concerning his limbs, And his strength, and the beauty of his armor.
13 ௧௩ அது மூடியிருக்கிற அதின் போர்வையைக் எடுக்கக்கூடியவன் யார்? அதின் இரண்டு தாடைகளின் நடுவே கடிவாளம் போடத்தக்கவன் யார்?
Who can uncover the surface of his garment? Who will approach his jaws?
Who will open the doors of his face? The rows of his teeth are terrible!
15 ௧௫ முத்திரைப் பதிப்புபோல அழுத்தங்கொண்டு அடர்த்தியாயிருக்கிற அதின் கேடகங்களின் அமைப்பு மகா சிறப்பாயிருக்கிறது.
His glory is his strong shields, United with each other, as with a close seal.
They are joined one to another, So that no air can come between them.
They cleave fast to each other, They hold together, and cannot be separated.
His sneezing sendeth forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelashes of the morning.
Out of his mouth go flames, And sparks of fire leap forth.
20 ௨0 கொதிக்கிற சட்டியிலும் கொப்பரையிலும் இருந்து புறப்படுகிறதுபோல, அதின் மூக்கிலிருந்து புகை புறப்படும்.
From his nostrils issueth smoke, as from a heated pot, or caldron.
His breath kindleth coals, And flames issue from his mouth.
In his neck dwelleth strength, And terror danceth before him.
The flakes of his flesh cleave fast together; They are firm upon him, and cannot be moved.
His heart is solid like a stone; Yea, solid like the nether millstone.
When he riseth up, the mighty are afraid; Yea, they lose themselves for terror.
The sword of him that assaileth him doth not stand, The spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
He regardeth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood.
The arrow cannot make him flee; Sling-stones to him become stubble;
Clubs are accounted by him as straw; He laugheth at the shaking of the spear.
30 ௩0 அதின் கீழாகக் கூர்மையான கற்கள் கிடந்தாலும், அது சேற்றின்மேல் ஓடுகிறதுபோல கூர்மையான அவைகளின்மேலும் ஓடும்.
Under him are sharp potsherds; He spreadeth out a thrashing-sledge upon the mire.
He maketh the deep to boil like a caldron; He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
Behind him he leaveth a shining path; One would think the deep to be hoary.
Upon the earth there is not his master; He is made without fear.
34 ௩௪ அது மேட்டிமையானதையெல்லாம் அற்பமாக நினைக்கிறது; அது அகங்காரமுள்ள உயிரினங்களுக்கெல்லாம் ராஜாவாக இருக்கிறது” என்றார்.
He looketh down upon all that is high; He is king over all the sons of pride.
