Job 41
1 Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope thou lettest down — his tongue?
“ʻOku ke faʻa fusi hake ʻae levaiatani ʻaki ʻae mātaʻu? Pe ko hono ʻelelo ʻaki ʻae afo ʻoku ke tukutuku hifo?
2 Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce his jaw?
ʻOku ke faʻa ʻai ʻae mātaʻu ki hono ihu? Pe vili ke ʻasi hono kouʻahe ʻaki ʻae talaʻi ʻakau?
3 Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak unto thee tender things?
Te ne fai ʻene ngaahi hū tāumaʻu kiate koe? Te ne lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea malu kiate koe?
4 Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a servant age-during?
Te ne fai ʻae fuakava mo koe? Te ke maʻu ia ko hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻo taʻengata?
5 Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him for thy damsels?
Te ke fakavā mo ia ʻo hangē ko e manupuna? Pe te ke noʻotaki ia maʻa hoʻo kau taʻahine?
6 (Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the merchants!)
ʻE fai kātoanga ʻaki ia ʻe ho kaumeʻa? Te nau vahevahe ia ki he kakai fakatau?
7 Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with fish-spears his head?
ʻOku ke faʻa fakapito hono kili ʻi he tao ukamea talatala? Pe ko hono ʻulu ʻi he tao hoka ika?
8 Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle — do not add!
Hilifaki ho nima kiate ia, manatu ki he tau, pea ʻoua naʻa toe fai hā meʻa.
9 Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance is not one cast down?
Vakai, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ke ʻamanaki kiate ia: ʻikai ʻe tō ki lalo ha tokotaha ʻi he mamata pe kiate ia?
10 None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he before Me stationeth himself?
ʻOku ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻoku loto lahi ʻe fie ueʻi ia ke tuʻu hake: pea ka kuo pehē, ko hai koā ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi hoku ʻao?
11 Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it [is] mine.
Ko hai kuo ne tomuʻa fai kiate au koeʻuhi ke u totongi ia? Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi lalo langi ʻoku ʻaʻaku ia.
12 I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter of might, And the grace of his arrangement.
“ʻE ʻikai te u fakapuli hono ngaahi konga, pe ko hono mālohi, pe ko hono matamatalelei.
13 Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his double bridle who doth enter?
Ko hai te ne faʻa ʻilo ʻae mata ʻo hono kofu? Pe ko hai ʻe faʻa haʻu kiate ia mo e palaiteli lou ua?
14 The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his teeth [are] terrible.
Ko hai te ne faʻa toʻo ʻae matapā ʻo hono mata? ʻOku fakailifia hono ngaahi nifo ʻoku takatakai.
15 A pride — strong ones of shields, Shut up — a close seal.
ʻOku viki ia ʻi hono ngaahi ʻuno, ʻaia ʻoku tāpuni fakataha ʻo hangē ko e meʻa pulusi maʻu.
16 One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them.
ʻOku fengūtaki pehē ʻae taha ki he taha, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai faʻa hū ai ʻae matangi ʻi hona vahaʻa.
17 One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated.
ʻOku nau fehokotaki, ʻo fepikitaki fakataha, pea ʻe ʻikai faʻa vaheʻi.
18 His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes [are] as the eyelids of the dawn.
ʻI heʻene mafatua ʻoku ulo ai ʻae maama, pea ʻoku tatau hono mata mo e laumata ʻoe pongipongi.
19 Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape.
ʻOku ʻalu atu mei hono ngutu ʻae ngaahi maama ulo, ʻoku puna mei ai kituʻa ʻae ngaahi kalofiama.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and reeds.
ʻOku ʻalu atu ʻi hono avaʻi ihu ʻae ʻohuafi, ʻo hangē ko e kulo vai kuo lili, pe ko e fuʻu kulo.
21 His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his mouth goeth forth.
ʻOku tutu ʻe heʻene mānava ʻae malala, pea ʻoku ulo mai ʻae afi mei hono ngutu.
22 In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief exult.
ʻOku nofo ʻae mālohi ʻi hono kia, pea ʻoku liliu ʻae mamahi ko e fiefia ʻi hono ʻao.
23 The flakes of his flesh have adhered — Firm upon him — it is not moved.
Ko hono ngaahi ʻioʻi kakano ʻoku piki fakataha: ʻoku mālohi ia ʻi ai; ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ueʻi.
24 His heart [is] firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower piece.
ʻOku mālohi hono loto ʻo hangē ko e maka; ʻio, ʻoku fefeka ʻo hangē ko e konga ʻoe maka tokalalo ʻoe meʻa momosi.
25 From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free.
ʻOka fokotuʻu hake ia ki ʻolunga, ʻoku manavahē ʻae kau mālohi: ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa maumau ʻoku nau fakamaʻa ʻakinautolu.
26 The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear — dart — and lance.
Ko e heletā ʻo ia ʻoku ne tā kiate ia ʻoku ʻikai tau; pe ko e tao, pe ko e tokotoko, mo e kofutau.
27 He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood.
ʻOku tatau kiate ia ʻae ʻaione mo e mohuku, ʻae palasa mo e ʻakau popo.
28 The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by him into stubble are stones of the sling.
ʻE ʻikai hola ia ʻi he ngahau: ʻoku ne liliu ʻae ngaahi makatā ko e veve.
29 As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.
ʻOku ne ui ʻae ngaahi ngahau ko e mohuku mōmoa: ʻoku kata ia ʻi he apoapo ʻoe tao.
30 Under him [are] sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on the mire.
ʻOku ʻi lalo ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi maka māsila: ʻoku ne folahi ki he pelepela ʻae ngaahi meʻa māsila.
31 He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as a pot of ointment.
ʻOku ne fakalili ʻae loloto ʻo hangē ko e kulo: ʻoku ne ngaohi ke tatau ʻae tahi mo e ipu ʻoe meʻa tākai.
32 After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the deep to be hoary.
ʻOku ne fakangingila ʻae hala kimui ʻiate ia; ʻe mahalo ʻe ha taha ʻoku hinehina ʻae loloto.
33 There is not on the earth his like, That is made without terror.
ʻOku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi he fonua, ʻaia kuo ngaohi ke taʻemanavahē.
34 Every high thing he doth see, He [is] king over all sons of pride.
ʻOku ne vakai ki he ngaahi meʻa māʻolunga kotoa pē: ko e tuʻi ia ki he ngaahi fānau kotoa pē ʻoe laukau.”
