约伯记 41
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
神万能人难仰望
41 “你能用鱼钩钓上鳄鱼吗？能用绳子压下它的舌头吗？ 2 你能用绳索穿它的鼻子吗？能用钩穿它的腮骨吗？ 3 它岂向你连连恳求，说柔和的话吗？ 4 岂肯与你立约，使你拿它永远做奴仆吗？ 5 你岂可拿它当雀鸟玩耍吗？岂可为你的幼女将它拴住吗？ 6 搭伙的渔夫岂可拿它当货物吗？能把它分给商人吗？ 7 你能用倒钩枪扎满它的皮，能用鱼叉叉满它的头吗？ 8 你按手在它身上，想与它争战，就不再这样行吧。 9 人指望捉拿它是徒然的，一见它，岂不丧胆吗？ 10 没有那么凶猛的人敢惹它。这样，谁能在我面前站立得住呢？ 11 谁先给我什么，使我偿还呢？天下万物都是我的。
12 “论到鳄鱼的肢体和其大力，并美好的骨骼，我不能缄默不言。 13 谁能剥它的外衣？谁能进它上下牙骨之间呢？ 14 谁能开它的腮颊？它牙齿四围是可畏的。 15 它以坚固的鳞甲为可夸，紧紧合闭，封得严密。 16 这鳞甲一一相连，甚至气不得透入其间， 17 都是互相联络，胶结不能分离。 18 它打喷嚏就发出光来，它眼睛好像早晨的光线[a]。 19 从它口中发出烧着的火把，与飞迸的火星。 20 从它鼻孔冒出烟来，如烧开的锅和点着的芦苇。 21 它的气点着煤炭，有火焰从它口中发出。 22 它颈项中存着劲力，在它面前的都恐吓蹦跳。 23 它的肉块互相联络，紧贴其身，不能摇动。 24 它的心结实如石头，如下磨石那样结实。 25 它一起来，勇士都惊恐，心里慌乱，便都昏迷。 26 人若用刀，用枪，用标枪，用尖枪扎它，都是无用。 27 它以铁为干草，以铜为烂木。 28 箭不能恐吓它使它逃避，弹石在它看为碎秸。 29 棍棒算为禾秸，它嗤笑短枪飕的响声。 30 它肚腹下如尖瓦片，它如钉耙经过淤泥。 31 它使深渊开滚如锅，使洋海如锅中的膏油。 32 它行的路随后发光，令人想深渊如同白发。 33 在地上没有像它造的那样，无所惧怕。 34 凡高大的，它无不藐视，它在骄傲的水族上做王。”

41 (40:20) Prendras-tu le crocodile à l'hameçon? Saisiras-tu sa langue avec une corde?
2 (40:21) Mettras-tu un jonc dans ses narines? Lui perceras-tu la mâchoire avec un crochet?
3 (40:22) Te pressera-t-il de supplication? Te parlera-t-il d'une voix douce?
4 (40:23) Fera-t-il une alliance avec toi, Pour devenir à toujours ton esclave?
5 (40:24) Joueras-tu avec lui comme avec un oiseau? L'attacheras-tu pour amuser tes jeunes filles?
6 (40:25) Les pêcheurs en trafiquent-ils? Le partagent-ils entre les marchands?
7 (40:26) Couvriras-tu sa peau de dards, Et sa tête de harpons?
8 (40:27) Dresse ta main contre lui, Et tu ne t'aviseras plus de l'attaquer.
9 (40:28) Voici, on est trompé dans son attente; A son seul aspect n'est-on pas terrassé?
10 (41:1) Nul n'est assez hardi pour l'exciter; Qui donc me résisterait en face?
11 (41:2) De qui suis-je le débiteur? Je le paierai. Sous le ciel tout m'appartient.
12 (41:3) Je veux encore parler de ses membres, Et de sa force, et de la beauté de sa structure.
13 (41:4) Qui soulèvera son vêtement? Qui pénétrera entre ses mâchoires?
14 (41:5) Qui ouvrira les portes de sa gueule? Autour de ses dents habite la terreur.
15 (41:6) Ses magnifiques et puissants boucliers Sont unis ensemble comme par un sceau;
16 (41:7) Ils se serrent l'un contre l'autre, Et l'air ne passerait pas entre eux;
17 (41:8) Ce sont des frères qui s'embrassent, Se saisissent, demeurent inséparables.
18 (41:9) Ses éternuements font briller la lumière; Ses yeux sont comme les paupières de l'aurore.
19 (41:10) Des flammes jaillissent de sa bouche, Des étincelles de feu s'en échappent.
20 (41:11) Une fumée sort de ses narines, Comme d'un vase qui bout, d'une chaudière ardente.
21 (41:12) Son souffle allume les charbons, Sa gueule lance la flamme.
22 (41:13) La force a son cou pour demeure, Et l'effroi bondit au-devant de lui.
23 (41:14) Ses parties charnues tiennent ensemble, Fondues sur lui, inébranlables.
24 (41:15) Son coeur est dur comme la pierre, Dur comme la meule inférieure.
25 (41:16) Quand il se lève, les plus vaillants ont peur, Et l'épouvante les fait fuir.
26 (41:17) C'est en vain qu'on l'attaque avec l'épée; La lance, le javelot, la cuirasse, ne servent à rien.
27 (41:18) Il regarde le fer comme de la paille, L'airain comme du bois pourri.
28 (41:19) La flèche ne le met pas en fuite, Les pierres de la fronde sont pour lui du chaume.
29 (41:20) Il ne voit dans la massue qu'un brin de paille, Il rit au sifflement des dards.
30 (41:21) Sous son ventre sont des pointes aiguës: On dirait une herse qu'il étend sur le limon.
31 (41:22) Il fait bouillir le fond de la mer comme une chaudière, Il l'agite comme un vase rempli de parfums.
32 (41:23) Il laisse après lui un sentier lumineux; L'abîme prend la chevelure d'un vieillard.
33 (41:24) Sur la terre nul n'est son maître; Il a été créé pour ne rien craindre.
34 (41:25) Il regarde avec dédain tout ce qui est élevé, Il est le roi des plus fiers animaux.
Job 41
King James Version
41 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Job 41
Good News Translation
41 (A)Can you catch Leviathan[a] with a fishhook
or tie his tongue down with a rope?
2 Can you put a rope through his snout
or put a hook through his jaws?
3 Will he beg you to let him go?
Will he plead with you for mercy?
4 Will he make an agreement with you
and promise to serve you forever?
5 Will you tie him like a pet bird,
like something to amuse your servant women?
6 Will fishermen bargain over him?
Will merchants cut him up to sell?
7 Can you fill his hide with fishing spears
or pierce his head with a harpoon?
8 Touch him once and you'll never try it again;
you'll never forget the fight!
9 Anyone who sees Leviathan
loses courage and falls to the ground.
10 When he is aroused, he is fierce;
no one would dare to stand before him.
11 Who can attack him and still be safe?
No one in all the world can do it.[b]
12 Let me tell you about Leviathan's legs
and describe how great and strong he is.
13 No one can tear off his outer coat
or pierce the armor[c] he wears.
14 Who can make him open his jaws,
ringed with those terrifying teeth?
15 His back[d] is made of rows of shields,
fastened together and hard as stone.
16 Each one is joined so tight to the next,
not even a breath can come between.
17 They all are fastened so firmly together
that nothing can ever pull them apart.
18 Light flashes when he sneezes,
and his eyes glow like the rising sun.
19 Flames blaze from his mouth,
and streams of sparks fly out.
20 Smoke comes pouring out of his nose,
like smoke from weeds burning under a pot.
21 His breath starts fires burning;
flames leap out of his mouth.
22 His neck is so powerful
that all who meet him are terrified.
23 There is not a weak spot in his skin;
it is as hard and unyielding as iron.
24 His stony heart is without fear,
as unyielding and hard as a millstone.
25 When he rises up, even the strongest[e] are frightened;
they are helpless with fear.
26 There is no sword that can wound him;
no spear or arrow or lance that can harm him.
27 For him iron is as flimsy as straw,
and bronze as soft as rotten wood.
28 There is no arrow that can make him run;
rocks thrown at him are like bits of straw.
29 To him a club is a piece of straw,
and he laughs when men throw spears.
30 The scales on his belly are like jagged pieces of pottery;
they tear up the muddy ground like a threshing sledge.[f]
31 He churns up the sea like boiling water
and makes it bubble like a pot of oil.
32 He leaves a shining path behind him
and turns the sea to white foam.
33 There is nothing on earth to compare with him;
he is a creature that has no fear.
34 He looks down on even the proudest animals;
he is king of all wild beasts.
