யோபு 41
1 ௧ “லிவியாதானை தூண்டிலைக்கொண்டு பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ? அதின் நாக்கை நீ விடுகிற கயிற்றினாலே பிடிக்கமுடியுமோ?
Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or tie up his jaws with a cord?
Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak soft words to you?
Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
5 ௫ ஒரு குருவியுடன் விளையாடுகிறதுபோல், நீ அதனுடன் விளையாடி, அதை நீ உன் பெண்களுக்கு அருகில் கட்டிவைப்பாயோ?
Will you play with him as you would with a bird? Will you tie him up for your servant girls?
Will the groups of fishermen bargain for him? Will they divide him up to trade among the merchants?
Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
Put your hand on him just once, and you will remember the battle and do it no more.
See, the hope of anyone who does that is a lie; will not anyone be thrown down to the ground just by the sight of him?
None is so fierce that he dare stir Leviathan up; who, then, is he who can stand before me?
11 ௧௧ தனக்குப் பதில்கொடுக்கப்படும்படி, முந்தி எனக்குக் கொடுத்தவன் யார்? வானத்தின் கீழுள்ளவைகள் எல்லாம் என்னுடையவைகள்.
Who has first given anything to me in order that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole sky is mine.
12 ௧௨ அதின் உறுப்புகளும், அதின் வீரியமும், அதின் உடல் இசைவின் அழகும் இன்னதென்று நான் சொல்லாமல் மறைக்கமாட்டேன்.
I will not keep silent concerning Leviathan's legs, nor about the matter of his strength, nor about his graceful form.
13 ௧௩ அது மூடியிருக்கிற அதின் போர்வையைக் எடுக்கக்கூடியவன் யார்? அதின் இரண்டு தாடைகளின் நடுவே கடிவாளம் போடத்தக்கவன் யார்?
Who can strip off his outer covering? Who can penetrate his double armor?
Who can open the doors of his face— ringed with his teeth, which are a terror?
15 ௧௫ முத்திரைப் பதிப்புபோல அழுத்தங்கொண்டு அடர்த்தியாயிருக்கிற அதின் கேடகங்களின் அமைப்பு மகா சிறப்பாயிருக்கிறது.
his back is made up of rows of shields, tight together as with a close seal.
One is so near to another that no air can come between them.
They are joined to each other; they stick together, so that they cannot be pulled apart.
Light flashes out from his snorting; his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning dawn.
Out of his mouth go burning torches, sparks of fire leap out.
20 ௨0 கொதிக்கிற சட்டியிலும் கொப்பரையிலும் இருந்து புறப்படுகிறதுபோல, அதின் மூக்கிலிருந்து புகை புறப்படும்.
Out of his nostrils goes smoke like a boiling pot on a fire that has been fanned to be very hot.
His breath kindles coals into flame; fires go out from his mouth.
In his neck is strength, and terror dances in front of him.
The folds of his flesh are joined together; they are firm on him; they cannot be moved.
His heart is as hard as a stone— indeed, as hard as a lower millstone.
When he raises himself up, even the gods become afraid; because of fear, they draw back.
If a sword strikes him, it does nothing— and neither does a spear, an arrow, or any other pointed weapon.
He thinks of iron as if it were straw, and of bronze as if it were rotten wood.
An arrow cannot make him flee; to him sling stones become chaff.
Clubs are regarded as straw; he laughs at the whirring flight of a spear.
30 ௩0 அதின் கீழாகக் கூர்மையான கற்கள் கிடந்தாலும், அது சேற்றின்மேல் ஓடுகிறதுபோல கூர்மையான அவைகளின்மேலும் ஓடும்.
His lower parts are like sharp pieces of broken pottery; he leaves a spreading trail in the mud as if he were a threshing sledge.
He makes the deep to foam up like a pot of boiling water; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
He makes a shining wake behind him; one would think the deep had gray hair.
On earth there is no equal to him, who has been made to live without fear.
34 ௩௪ அது மேட்டிமையானதையெல்லாம் அற்பமாக நினைக்கிறது; அது அகங்காரமுள்ள உயிரினங்களுக்கெல்லாம் ராஜாவாக இருக்கிறது” என்றார்.
He sees everything that is proud; he is king over all the sons of pride.”
