Job 39

Job 39
Louis Segond
39 (39:4) Sais-tu quand les chèvres sauvages font leurs petits? Observes-tu les biches quand elles mettent bas?
2 (39:5) Comptes-tu les mois pendant lesquels elles portent, Et connais-tu l'époque où elles enfantent?
3 (39:6) Elles se courbent, laissent échapper leur progéniture, Et sont délivrées de leurs douleurs.
4 (39:7) Leurs petits prennent de la vigueur et grandissent en plein air, Ils s'éloignent et ne reviennent plus auprès d'elles.
5 (39:8) Qui met en liberté l'âne sauvage, Et l'affranchit de tout lien?
6 (39:9) J'ai fait du désert son habitation, De la terre salée sa demeure.
7 (39:10) Il se rit du tumulte des villes, Il n'entend pas les cris d'un maître.
8 (39:11) Il parcourt les montagnes pour trouver sa pâture, Il est à la recherche de tout ce qui est vert.
9 (39:12) Le buffle veut-il être à ton service? Passe-t-il la nuit vers ta crèche?
10 (39:13) L'attaches-tu par une corde pour qu'il trace un sillon? Va-t-il après toi briser les mottes des vallées?
11 (39:14) Te reposes-tu sur lui, parce que sa force est grande? Lui abandonnes-tu le soin de tes travaux?
12 (39:15) Te fies-tu à lui pour la rentrée de ta récolte? Est-ce lui qui doit l'amasser dans ton aire?
13 (39:16) L'aile de l'autruche se déploie joyeuse; On dirait l'aile, le plumage de la cigogne.
14 (39:17) Mais l'autruche abandonne ses oeufs à la terre, Et les fait chauffer sur la poussière;
15 (39:18) Elle oublie que le pied peut les écraser, Qu'une bête des champs peut les fouler.
16 (39:19) Elle est dure envers ses petits comme s'ils n'étaient point à elle; Elle ne s'inquiète pas de l'inutilité de son enfantement.
17 (39:20) Car Dieu lui a refusé la sagesse, Il ne lui a pas donné l'intelligence en partage.
18 (39:21) Quand elle se lève et prend sa course, Elle se rit du cheval et de son cavalier.
19 (39:22) Est-ce toi qui donnes la vigueur au cheval, Et qui revêts son cou d'une crinière flottante?
20 (39:23) Le fais-tu bondir comme la sauterelle? Son fier hennissement répand la terreur.
21 (39:24) Il creuse le sol et se réjouit de sa force, Il s'élance au-devant des armes;
22 (39:25) Il se rit de la crainte, il n'a pas peur, Il ne recule pas en face de l'épée.
23 (39:26) Sur lui retentit le carquois, Brillent la lance et le javelot.
24 (39:27) Bouillonnant d'ardeur, il dévore la terre, Il ne peut se contenir au bruit de la trompette.
25 (39:28) Quand la trompette sonne, il dit: En avant! Et de loin il flaire la bataille, La voix tonnante des chefs et les cris de guerre.
26 (39:29) Est-ce par ton intelligence que l'épervier prend son vol, Et qu'il étend ses ailes vers le midi?
27 (39:30) Est-ce par ton ordre que l'aigle s'élève, Et qu'il place son nid sur les hauteurs?
28 (39:31) C'est dans les rochers qu'il habite, qu'il a sa demeure, Sur la cime des rochers, sur le sommet des monts.
29 (39:32) De là il épie sa proie, Il plonge au loin les regards.
30 (39:33) Ses petits boivent le sang; Et là où sont des cadavres, l'aigle se trouve.

The Lord’s Challenge Continues
39 “Do you know when the wild goats give birth?
Have you watched as deer are born in the wild?
2 Do you know how many months they carry their young?
Are you aware of the time of their delivery?
3 They crouch down to give birth to their young
and deliver their offspring.
4 Their young grow up in the open fields,
then leave home and never return.
5 “Who gives the wild donkey its freedom?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I have placed it in the wilderness;
its home is the wasteland.
7 It hates the noise of the city
and has no driver to shout at it.
8 The mountains are its pastureland,
where it searches for every blade of grass.
9 “Will the wild ox consent to being tamed?
Will it spend the night in your stall?
10 Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow?
Will it plow a field for you?
11 Given its strength, can you trust it?
Can you leave and trust the ox to do your work?
12 Can you rely on it to bring home your grain
and deliver it to your threshing floor?
13 “The ostrich flaps her wings grandly,
but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.
14 She lays her eggs on top of the earth,
letting them be warmed in the dust.
15 She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them
or a wild animal might destroy them.
16 She is harsh toward her young,
as if they were not her own.
She doesn’t care if they die.
17 For God has deprived her of wisdom.
He has given her no understanding.
18 But whenever she jumps up to run,
she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.
19 “Have you given the horse its strength
or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust?
Its majestic snorting is terrifying!
21 It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength
when it charges out to battle.
22 It laughs at fear and is unafraid.
It does not run from the sword.
23 The arrows rattle against it,
and the spear and javelin flash.
24 It paws the ground fiercely
and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows.
25 It snorts at the sound of the horn.
It senses the battle in the distance.
It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.
26 “Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar
and spread its wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle rises
to the heights to make its nest?
28 It lives on the cliffs,
making its home on a distant, rocky crag.
29 From there it hunts its prey,
keeping watch with piercing eyes.
30 Its young gulp down blood.
Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”
Job 39
New International Version
Job 39
New International Version
39 “Do you know when the mountain goats(A) give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?(B)
2 Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?(C)
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return.
5 “Who let the wild donkey(D) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(E) as its home,
the salt flats(F) as its habitat.(G)
7 It laughs(H) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(I)
8 It ranges the hills(J) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(K) consent to serve you?(L)
Will it stay by your manger(M) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(N)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(O)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.(P)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.(Q)
16 She treats her young harshly,(R) as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.(S)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs(T) at horse and rider.
19 “Do you give the horse its strength(U)
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,(V)
striking terror(W) with its proud snorting?(X)
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,(Y)
and charges into the fray.(Z)
22 It laughs(AA) at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver(AB) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(AC) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(AD)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(AE) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(AF)
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?(AG)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?(AH)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag(AI) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(AJ)
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(AK)
