యోబు~ గ్రంథము 41
But will you catch the serpent with a hook, and put a halter about his nose?
Or will you fasten a ring in his nostril, and bore his lip with a clasp?
Will he address you with a petition? softly, with the voice of a suppliant?
And will he make a covenant with you? and will you take him for a perpetual servant?
And will you play with him as with a bird? or bind him as a sparrow for a child?
And do the nations feed upon him, and the nations of the Phoenicians share him?
And all the ships come together would not be able to bear the mere skin of his tail; neither [shall they carry] his head in fishing vessels.
But you shall lay your hand upon him [once], remembering the war that is waged by his mouth; and let it not be done any more.
9 ౯ దాన్ని చూస్తే చాలు, మనుషులు దాన్ని వశపరచుకోవచ్చనే ఆశ వదులుకుంటారు. దాని చూస్తే చాలు ఎవరికైనా గుండెలు అవిసిపోతాయి.
Hast you not seen him? and have you not wondered at the things said [of him]?
Do you not fear because preparation has been made by me? for who is there that resists me?
Or who will resist me, and abide, since the whole [world] under heaven is mine?
12 ౧౨ సముద్ర రాక్షసి కాళ్ళను గురించైనా దాని మహా బలాన్ని గురించైనా దాని చక్కని ఆకారాన్ని గురించైనా పలకకుండా మౌనంగా ఉండను.
I will not be silent because of him: though because of his power [one] shall pity his antagonist.
Who will open the face of his garment? and who can enter within the fold of his breastplate?
Who will open the doors of his face? terror is round about his teeth.
His inwards are as brazen plates, and the texture of his [skin] as a smyrite stone.
One [part] cleaves fast to another, and the air can’t come between them.
They will remain united each to the other: they are closely joined, and can’t be separated.
At his sneezing a light shines, and his eyes are [as] the appearance of the morning star.
Out of his mouth proceed as it were burning lamps, and as it were hearths of fire are cast abroad.
20 ౨౦ పొయ్యిపై మసులుతున్న కాగులోనుండి, బాగా గాలి విసిరి రాజబెట్టిన మంటలోనుండి లేచినట్టు దాని నాసికా రంధ్రాల్లో నుండి పొగ లేస్తుంది.
Out of his nostrils proceeds smoke of a furnace burning with fire of coals.
His breath is [as] live coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.
And power is lodged in his neck, before him destruction runs.
The flesh also of his body is joined together: [if one] pours [violence] upon him, he shall not be moved.
His heart is firm as a stone, and it stands like an unyielding anvil.
And when he turns, [he is] a terror to the four-footed wild beasts which leap upon the earth.
If spears should come against him, [men] will effect nothing, [either with] the spear or the breast-plate.
For he considers iron as chaff, and brass as rotten wood.
The bow of brass shall not would him, he deems a slinger as grass.
Mauls are counted as stubble; and he laughs to scorn the waving of the firebrand.
30 ౩౦ దాని ఉదర భాగాలు కరుకైన గాజు పెంకుల్లాగా ఉన్నాయి. అది బురద మీద నురిపిడి కొయ్యలాంటి తన తోకను పరచుకుంటుంది.
His lair is [formed of] sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is an immense [quantity of] clay.
He makes the deep boil like a brazen cauldron; and he regards the sea as a pot of ointment,
32 ౩౨ అది తాను నడచిన దారిని తన వెనక ప్రకాశింప జేస్తుంది. చూసే వారు అగాధ జలం తెల్లగా ఉంది అనుకుంటారు.
and the lowest part of the deep as a captive: he reckons the deep as [his] range.
There is nothing upon the earth like to him, formed to be sported with by my angels.
He beholds every high thing: and he is king of all that are in the waters.
