1 Lewiatanni ⱪarmaⱪ bilǝn tartalamsǝn? Uning tilini arƣamqa bilǝn [baƣlap] basalamsǝn?
“[Think also about] (crocodiles/great sea dragons). Can you catch them with a fishhook or fasten their jaws with a rope?
2 Uning burniƣa ⱪomux qülükni kirgüzǝlǝmsǝn? Uning engikini tɵmür nǝyzǝ bilǝn texǝlǝmsǝn?
Can you put ropes through their noses [to control them] or thrust hooks through their jaws?
3 U sanga arⱪa-arⱪidin iltija ⱪilamdu? Yaki sanga yawaxliⱪ bilǝn sɵz ⱪilamdu?
Will they plead with you to act mercifully toward them or (use sweet talk/speak to you nicely) [in order that you will not harm them]?
4 U sǝn bilǝn ǝⱨdǝ tüzüp, Xuning bilǝn sǝn uni mǝnggü malay süpitidǝ ⱪobul ⱪilalamsǝn?
Will they make an agreement with you to work for you, to be your slaves as long as they live?

Can you cause them to become pets like you cause birds to become your pets? Can you put a leash/rope around their [necks] so that your servant girls [can play with them]?
6 Tijarǝtqilǝr uning üstidǝ sodilixamdu? Uni sodigǝrlǝrgǝ bɵlüxtürüp berǝmdu?
Will merchants try to buy them [in the market]? Will they cut them up into pieces and sell the meat?
7 Sǝn uning pütkül terisigǝ atarnǝyzini sanjiyalamsǝn? Uning bexiƣa qanggak bilǝn sanjiyalamsǝn?!
Can you pierce their skins by throwing fishing spears at them? Can you pierce their heads with a harpoon?
8 Ⱪolungni uningƣa birla tǝgküzgǝndin keyin, Bu jǝngni ǝslǝp ikkinqi undaⱪ ⱪilƣuqi bolmaysǝn!
If you grab one of them with your hands, it will fight you in a way that you will never forget, and you will never try to do it again!
9 Mana, «[uni boysundurimǝn]» degǝn ⱨǝrⱪandaⱪ ümid biⱨudiliktur; Ⱨǝtta uni bir kɵrüpla, ümidsizlinip yǝrgǝ ⱪarap ⱪalidu ǝmǝsmu?
It is useless to try to subdue them. Anyone who tries to subdue one of them will lose his courage.
10 Uning jeniƣa tegixkǝ petinalaydiƣan ⱨeqkim yoⱪtur; Undaⱪta Mening aldimda turmaⱪqi bolƣan kimdur?
No one dares/tries to (arouse them/cause them to be angry). So, [since I am much more powerful than they are, ] (who would dare to cause me to be angry?/no one would dare to cause me to be angry!) [RHQ]
11 Asman astidiki ⱨǝmmǝ nǝrsǝ Mening tursa, Mening aldimƣa kim kelip «manga tegixlikini bǝrginǝ» dǝp baⱪⱪan ikǝn, Mǝn uningƣa ⱪayturuxⱪa tegixlikmu?
Also, everything on the earth is mine. Therefore, no one [RHQ] is able to give anything to me and require me to pay [money] for it!
12 [Lewiatanning] ǝzaliri, Uning zor küqi, Uning tüzülüxining güzǝlliki toƣruluⱪ, Mǝn süküt ⱪilip turalmaymǝn.
I will tell you about [how strong] crocodiles' legs [are] and how strong their well-formed bodies are.

(Can anyone strip off their hides?/No one is able to strip off their hides.) [RHQ] (Can anyone try to put bridles on them?/No one can try to put bridles on them.) [RHQ] (OR, Can anyone pierce their very thick hides?)

(Can anyone pry open their jaws, which have terrible teeth in them?/No one can pry open their jaws, which have terrible teeth in them!) [RHQ]
15 Ⱪasiraⱪlirining sǝpliri uning pǝhridur, Ular bir-birigǝ qing qaplaxturulƣanki,
They have rows of scales on their back which are as hard as a rock (OR, tightly fastened together).
16 Bir-birigǝ xamal kirmǝs yeⱪin turidu.
The scales are very close together, with the result that not even air can get between them.
17 Ularning ⱨǝrbiri ɵz ⱨǝmraⱨliriƣa qaplaxⱪandur; Bir-birigǝ ziq yepixturulƣan, ⱨeq ayrilmastur.
The scales are joined very closely to each other, and they cannot be separated.
18 Uning qüxkürüxliridin nur qaⱪnaydu, Uning kɵzliri sǝⱨǝrdiki ⱪapaⱪtǝktur.
When crocodiles sneeze, [the tiny drops of water that come out of their noses] sparkle in the sunlight. Their eyes are red like the rising sun.
19 Uning aƣzidin otlar qiⱪip turidu; Ot uqⱪunliri sǝkrǝp qiⱪidu.
[It is as though] sparks of fire pour out of their mouths [DOU].
20 Ⱪomux gülhanƣa ⱪoyƣan ⱪaynawatⱪan ⱪazandin qiⱪⱪan ⱨordǝk, Uning burun tɵxükidin tütün qiⱪip turidu;
Smoke pours out of their nostrils/noses like steam comes out of a pot that is put over a fire made from dry reeds.
21 Uning nǝpisi kɵmürlǝrni tutaxturidu, Uning aƣzidin bir yalⱪun qiⱪidu.
Their breath can cause coals to blaze, and flames shoot out from their mouths.
22 Boynida zor küq yatidu, Wǝⱨimǝ uning aldida sǝkrixip oynaydu.
Their necks are very strong; wherever they go, they cause people to be very afraid.
23 Uning ǝtliri ⱪat-ⱪat birlǝxtürülüp qing turidu; Üstidiki [ⱪasiraⱪliri] yepixturulup, midirlimay turidu.
The folds in their flesh are very close together and are very hard/firm.
24 Uning yüriki bǝǝyni taxtǝk mustǝⱨkǝm turidu, Ⱨǝtta tügmǝnning asti texidǝk mǝzmut turidu.
[They are fearless, because] the inner parts of their bodies are as hard as a rock, as hard as the lower millstone [on which grain is ground].
25 U ornidin ⱪozƣalsa, palwanlarmu ⱪorⱪup ⱪalidu; Uning tolƣinip xawⱪunlixidin alaⱪzadǝ bolup ketidu.
When they rise up, they cause [even] very strong people to be terrified. As a result, people (fall back/run away) when crocodiles thrash around.
26 Birsi ⱪiliqni uningƣa tǝgküzsimu, ⱨeq ünümi yoⱪ; Nǝyzǝ, atarnǝyzǝ wǝ yaki qanggaⱪ bolsimu bǝribir ünümsizdur.
[People] [PRS] cannot injure them with swords, and spears or darts or javelins cannot injure them, either.
27 U tɵmürni samandǝk, Misni por yaƣaqtǝk qaƣlaydu.
They [certainly are not afraid of weapons made of] straw or rotten wood, but [they are not even afraid of weapons made of] iron or bronze!
28 Oⱪya bolsa uni ⱪorⱪitip ⱪaqⱪuzalmaydu; Salƣa taxliri uning aldida pahalƣa aylinidu.
[Shooting] arrows [at them] does not cause them to run away. [Hurling] stones at them from a sling is like [hurling] bits of chaff at them.
29 Toⱪmaⱪlarmu pahaldǝk ⱨeqnemǝ ⱨesablanmaydu; U nǝyzǝ-xǝxbǝrning tǝnglinixigǝ ⱪarap külüp ⱪoyidu.
They are not afraid of clubs [any more than they would be afraid of men throwing] bits of straw [at them], and they laugh when they hear the whirl/sound of javelins [being thrown at them].
30 Uning asti ⱪismi bolsa ɵtkür sapal parqiliridur; U lay üstigǝ qong tirna bilǝn tatiliƣandǝk iz ⱪalduridu.
Their bellies are covered with scales that are as sharp as broken pieces of pottery. When they drag themselves through the mud, their bellies tear up the ground like a plow.
31 U dengiz-okyanlarni ⱪazandǝk ⱪaynitiwetidu; U dengizni ⱪazandiki mǝlⱨǝmdǝk waraⱪxitidu;
They stir up the water and cause it to foam [as they churn/swim through it].
32 U mangsa mangƣan yoli parⱪiraydu; Adǝm [buȥƣunlarni kɵrüp] qongⱪur dengizni ap’aⱪ qaqliⱪ boway dǝp oylap ⱪalidu.
As they go through the water, the (wakes/trails in the water behind them) glisten. People [who see it] would think that the foam in those wakes had become white hair.
33 Yǝr yüzidǝ uning tǝngdixi yoⱪtur, U ⱨeq ⱪorⱪmas yaritilƣan.
There are no creatures on earth that are as fearless as crocodiles.
34 U büyüklǝrning ⱨǝrⱪandiⱪiƣa [jür’ǝt bilǝn] nǝzǝr selip, ⱪorⱪmaydu; U barliⱪ mǝƣrur ⱨaywanlarning padixaⱨidur».
They are the proudest of all the creatures; [it is as though] they [rule like] kings over all the other wild animals.”
