Job 41
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang kapangyarihan ng Panginoon ay katulad ng buwaya.
41 Mahuhuli mo ba ang (A)buwaya ng isang bingwit?
O mailalabas mo ba ang kaniyang dila ng isang panali?
2 Makapaglalagay ka ba ng tali sa kaniyang ilong?
O makabubutas sa kaniyang panga ng isang taga ng bingwit?
3 Mamamanhik ba siya ng marami sa iyo?
O magsasalita ba siya ng mga malumanay na salita sa iyo?
4 Makikipagtipan ba siya sa iyo,
Upang ariin mo siyang alipin magpakailan man?
5 Makikipaglaro ka ba sa kaniya na gaya sa isang ibon?
O iyong tatalian ba siya para sa iyong mga dalaga?
6 Makakalakal ba siya (B)ng mga pulutong ng mangingisda?
Mababahagi ba siya nila sa (C)mga mangangalakal?
7 Mahihiwa mo ba ang kaniyang balat ng sundang na bakal,
O ang kaniyang ulo ng panaksak ng isda?
8 Ipatong mo ang iyong kamay sa kaniya;
Alalahanin mo ang pagbabaka at huwag mo nang gawin.
9 Narito, ang pagasa riyan ay walang kabuluhan:
Hindi ba malulugmok ang sinoman makita lamang yaon?
10 Walang malakas na makapangahas kumilos niyaon:
Sino ngang makatatayo sa harap ko?
11 (D)Sinong naunang nagbigay sa akin upang aking bayaran siya?
(E)Anomang nasa silong ng buong langit ay akin.
12 Hindi ako tatahimik tungkol sa kaniyang mga sangkap ng katawan,
Ni sa kaniya mang dakilang kapangyarihan, ni sa kaniya mang mainam na hugis.
13 Sinong makapaglilitaw na karayagan ng kaniyang mga damit?
Sinong makalalapit sa kaniyang magkasaping pangil?
14 Sinong makapagbubukas ng mga pinto ng kaniyang mukha?
Sa palibot ng kaniyang ngipin ay kakilabutan.
15 Ang kaniyang mga matibay na (F)palikpik ay kaniyang kapalaluan,
Nangagkakadikit na maigi na gaya sa isang tatak na mahigpit.
16 Nagkakadikit sa isa't isa,
Na ang hangin ay hindi makaraan sa pagitan sa mga yaon.
17 Sila'y nagkakasugpongan sa isa't isa;
Nagkakalakip na magkasama, na hindi maihihiwalay.
18 Ang kanilang mga bahin ay kumikislap ng apoy,
At ang kanilang mga mata ay gaya ng mga bukang liwayway kung umaga.
19 Mula sa kaniyang bibig ay lumalabas ang nagliliyab na sulo,
At mga alipatong apoy ay nagsisilabas.
20 Mula sa kaniyang mga butas ng ilong ay lumalabas ang usok,
Na gaya ng isang kumukulong talyasi at nagniningas na mga talahib.
21 Ang kaniyang hinga ay nagpapaningas ng mga baga,
At isang alab ay lumalabas sa kaniyang bibig.
22 Sa kaniyang leeg ay tumitira ang kalakasan,
At ang kakilabutan ay sumasayaw sa harap niya.
23 Ang mga kaliskis ng kaniyang laman ay nangagkakadikitan;
Nangagtutumibay sa kaniya; hindi magagalaw.
24 Ang kaniyang puso ay matatag na gaya ng isang bato;
Oo, matatag na gaya ng batong pangibaba ng gilingan.
25 Pagka siya'y tumitindig ay natatakot ang makapangyarihan:
Dahil sa pagkagulat ay nangalilito sila.
26 Kung siya'y tagain ninoman ng tabak ay hindi tumatalab;
Ni ng sibat man, ng pana, ni ng matalas na tulis man.
27 Kaniyang ipinalalagay ang bakal na parang dayami,
At ang tanso na parang lapok na kahoy.
28 Hindi niya mapatakas ng palaso:
Ang mga batong panghilagpos ay nagiging sa kaniya'y parang pinagputulan ng trigo.
29 Ang mga panakbat ay nangapapalagay na parang pinagputulan ng trigo:
Kaniyang tinatawanan ang galaw ng sibat.
30 Ang kaniyang mga sangkap sa ibaba ay gaya ng mga matulis na bibinga:
Lumalaganap na tila saksak sa banlik.
31 Kaniyang pinagpapakuluan ang kalaliman na parang palyok:
Kaniyang ginagawa ang dagat na parang pamahid.
32 Kaniyang pinasisilang ang landas sa likuran niya;
Aakalain ng sinoman na mauban ang kalaliman.
33 Sa ibabaw ng lupa ay walang gaya niya,
Na likhang walang takot.
34 Kaniyang minamasdan ang bawa't mataas na bagay:
Siya'y hari sa lahat ng mga anak na palalo.
Job 41
New King James Version
God’s Power in the Leviathan
41 “Can you draw out (A)Leviathan[a] with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
2 Can you (B)put a reed through his nose,
Or pierce his jaw with a [b]hook?
3 Will he make many supplications to you?
Will he speak softly to you?
4 Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him as a servant forever?
5 Will you play with him as with a bird,
Or will you leash him for your maidens?
6 Will your companions [c]make a banquet of him?
Will they apportion him among the merchants?
7 Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?
8 Lay your hand on him;
Remember the battle—
Never do it again!
9 Indeed, any hope of overcoming him is false;
Shall one not be overwhelmed at the sight of him?
10 No one is so fierce that he would dare stir him up.
Who then is able to stand against Me?
11 (C)Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him?
(D)Everything under heaven is Mine.
12 “I will not [d]conceal his limbs,
His mighty power, or his graceful proportions.
13 Who can [e]remove his outer coat?
Who can approach him with a double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face,
With his terrible teeth all around?
15 His rows of [f]scales are his pride,
Shut up tightly as with a seal;
16 One is so near another
That no air can come between them;
17 They are joined one to another,
They stick together and cannot be parted.
18 His sneezings flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lights;
Sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils,
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 His breath kindles coals,
And a flame goes out of his mouth.
22 Strength dwells in his neck,
And [g]sorrow dances before him.
23 The folds of his flesh are joined together;
They are firm on him and cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as hard as stone,
Even as hard as the lower millstone.
25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid;
Because of his crashings they [h]are beside themselves.
26 Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail;
Nor does spear, dart, or javelin.
27 He regards iron as straw,
And bronze as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee;
Slingstones become like stubble to him.
29 Darts are regarded as straw;
He laughs at the threat of javelins.
30 His undersides are like sharp potsherds;
He spreads pointed marks in the mire.
31 He makes the deep boil like a pot;
He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He leaves a shining wake behind him;
One would think the deep had white hair.
33 On earth there is nothing like him,
Which is made without fear.
34 He beholds every high thing;
He is king over all the children of pride.”
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.
