Job 41
1 Kabaelam kadi a banniitan ti leviatan? Wenno galutan ti sungona?
Can you pull out Leviathan with a hook? Can you tie its mouth shut?
2 Kabaelam kadi a talian ti agongna, wenno duyoken ti pangalna babaen iti banniit?
Can you thread a rope through its nose? Can you pass a hook through its jaw?
3 Agpakaasi kadi kenka daytoy? Makisao kadi kenka daytoy iti naalumamay?
Will it beg you to let it go? Or will it talk softly to you?
4 Makitulag kadi daytoy kenka, nga alaem isuna nga agbalin nga adipenmo iti agnanayon?
Will it make a contract with you? Will it agree to be your slave forever?
5 Makiaay-ayamka kadi kenkuana a kas iti billit? Galutam kadi isuna para kadagiti adipenmo a babbai?
Will you play with it like a pet bird? Will you put it on a leash for your girls?
6 Makitinnawar kadi dagiti bunggoy ti mangngalap para kenkuana? Tadtadenda kadi isuna nga isukatda kadagiti aglaklako?
Will your trading partners decide on a price for him, and divide him up among the merchants?
7 Kabaelam kadi a punnoen ti kudilna iti gayang wenno ti ulona iti pangkalap a pika?
Can you pierce his skin with many harpoons, its head with fishing spears?
8 Sagidem isuna iti uray maminsan laeng, ket malaglagipmonto ti panakirangetna ket saanmonton nga uliten daytoy.
If you were to grab hold of it, imagine the battle you would have! You wouldn't do that again!
9 Kitaem, ti namnama ti siasinoman a mangar-aramid iti dayta ket ubbaw; saan kadi a matuang iti daga ti siasinoman uray no makitada laeng daytoy?
Any hope to capture it is foolish. Anyone who tries is thrown to the ground.
10 Awan ti narungsot a makaitured a mangriribuk iti leviatan; siasino ngarud ti makaitured a tumakder iti sangoanak?
Since no one has the courage to provoke Leviathan, who would dare to stand up against me?
11 Siasino ti immun-una a nakaited iti aniaman a banag kaniak tapno agsubadak koma kenkuana? Aniaman nga adda iti sirok ti sibubukel a tangatang ket kukuak.
Who has confronted me with any claim that I should repay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.
12 Saanak nga agulimek maipanggep kadagiti saka ti leviatan, wenno maipapan iti pigsana, wenno ti makaay-ayo a langana.
Let me tell you about Leviathan: its powerful legs and graceful proportions.
13 Siasino ti makaikkat iti akinruar nga akkub ti bagina? Siasino ti makasalpot iti doble a kabalna?
Who can remove its hide? Who can penetrate its double coat of armor?
14 Siasino ti makalukat iti ruangan ti rupana - a napalikmutan kadagiti ngipenna, a nakabutbuteng?
Who can open its jaws? Its teeth are terrifying!
15 Naaramid ti bukotna iti naintar a salaknib, nagdedekketda a kas iti nagdidinnekket a pangserra.
Its pride is its rows of scales, closed tightly together.
16 Naidekket unay ti maysa iti sabali pay nga awan pulos ti angin a makastrek iti nagbabaetan dagitoy.
Its scales are so close together that no air can pass between them.
17 Nagdidinnekketda iti tunggal maysa; nagkikinnapetda, tapno saanda a mapagsisina.
Each scale attaches to the next; they lock together and nothing can penetrate them.
18 Adda silnag a rummuar iti panagbang-esna; maiyarig dagiti matana iti panagsingising ti init iti parbangon.
When it sneezes light shines out. Its eyes are like the rising sun.
19 Iti ngiwatna, rumuar ti kasla umap-apuy a pagsilawan, aglalagto a rummuar dagiti rissik ti apuy.
Flames pour from its mouth, sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Kadagiti abut ti agongna, rumuar ti asuk a kas iti agburburek a danum iti banga a nakasaang iti apuy a kasta unay ti pudotna.
Smoke comes from its nostrils, like steam from a kettle on a fire made of reeds.
21 Pasgedan ti angesna dagiti uging; apuy ti rumuar manipud iti ngiwatna.
Its breath sets fire to charcoal as flames shoot from its mouth.
22 Iti tengngedna ket kinapigsa, ket nakabutbuteng ti lumablabas iti sangoananna.
Its neck is powerful, and all who face him shake with terror.
23 Nagdidinnekket dagiti paspaset ti lasagna; nakalaglagdada; saanda a makuti.
Its body is dense and solid, as if it is made from cast metal.
24 Ti pusona ket kas katangken ti bato - pudno, katangtangken ti akinbaba a bato ti paggilingan.
Its heart is rock-hard, like a millstone.
25 No tumakder isuna, uray dagiti didiosen ket agbuteng; gapu iti buteng, agsanudda.
When it rises, even the powerful are terrified; they retreat as it thrashes about.
26 No maiduyok ti kampilan kenkuana, awan mamaayna - ken uray ti gayang ken pana wenno uray ania a natirad nga armas.
Swords just bounce off it, as do spears, darts, and javelins.
27 Kasla laeng garami, ti landok kenkuana, ken ti bronse ket kasla laeng narukop a kayo.
It brushes aside iron like straw, and bronze like rotten wood.
28 Saan isuna a mapagtaray ti pana; para kenkuana, ti maipalsiit a bato ket kasla laeng taep.
Arrows cannot make it run away; stones from slingshots are like pieces of stubble.
29 Dagiti pang-or ket ibilbilangna a kas garami; katkatawaanna dagiti agtatayab a gayang nga agturong kenkuana.
Clubs are also treated like stubble; it laughs at the sound made by flying spears.
30 Dagiti akinbaba a pasetna ket maiyarig kadagiti natatadem a paset ti nabuong a banga; mangibati isuna iti tugot iti kapitakan a kasla maysa isuna a dakkel nga arado.
Its underparts are covered with points as sharp as broken pots; when it drags itself through the mud it leaves marks like a threshing sledge.
31 Pagburekenna ti nauneg a baybay a kas iti maysa a banga nga adda agburburek a danumna; pagbalinenna ti baybay a kasla banga ti sapsapo.
It churns up the sea like water in a boiling pot, like a steaming bowl when ointment is mixed.
32 Pagraniagenna ti pagnaanna; pagarupen ti makakita a nagbalin a puraw ti nauneg a baybay.
It leaves a glistening wake behind it as if the sea had white hair.
33 Iti rabaw ti daga, awan ti umasping kenkuana, a nagbiag nga awan pagbutnganna.
There is nothing on earth like it: a creature that has no fear.
34 Makitkitana amin a napalangguad; isuna ti ari kadagiti amin nga annak ti kinapalangguad.”
It looks down on all other creatures. It is the proudest of all.”
