Job 41
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
41 Možeš li Levijatana[a] izvući udicom
ili mu jezik vezati konopcem?
2 Možeš li mu uže provući kroz nozdrve
ili mu čeljust probosti kukom?
3 Zar će te moliti za milost?
Zar će ti umilnim riječima govoriti?
4 Zar će s tobom sklopiti savez
da ga uzmeš za roba zauvijek?
5 Možeš li se s njim igrati kao s pticom,
ili ga na uzici voditi da zabaviš svoje kćeri?
6 Hoće li se ribolovci cjenkati za njega?
Zar će ga raskomadati i prodati trgovcima?
7 Možeš li mu kožu izbosti kopljima,
ili glavu ostima?
8 Dirneš li ga, zapamtit ćeš tu borbu,
i nećeš to više pokušati!
9 Zaludna je nada da se može nadvladati,
već sâm pogled na njega čovjeka obara.
10 Nitko nije toliko hrabar da ga razdraži.
Pa tko mu se može suprotstaviti?
11 On kaže: »Tko me napadne, nastradat će.
Tko god na svijetu pokuša, moj je.«
12 Neću ga ušutkati kad se hvali
svojom snagom neusporedivom.
13 Tko mu može odjeću svući
i probiti oklop dvostruki?
14 Tko se usudi otvoriti mu gubicu
okruženu zastrašujućim zubima?
15 Na leđima su mu nizovi štitova,
jedni uz druge čvrsto priljubljeni;
16 tako su blizu jedan drugome
da ni zrak između njih ne prolazi.
17 Čvrsto su jedan s drugim spojeni,
jedan uz drugog prianja i ne mogu se razdvojiti.
18 Kad kihne, svjetlost iz njega sijevne,
a oči su mu kao zraci zore.
19 Iz usta mu plamte buktinje,
vatrene iskre iz njih lete.
20 Iz nozdrva mu suklja dim,
kao iz lonca na vatri naloženoj trskom.
21 Njegov dah pali ugljen
i plamen mu iz usta suklja.
22 Silna snaga leži mu u vratu,
a pred njim ide strah.
23 Nabori na mesu čvrsto su mu spojeni,
sliveni su i nepomični.
24 Grudi su mu čvrste kao stijena,
tvrde kao donji žrvanj.
25 Kad se digne, i najjači[b] se užasnu,
smeteni od njegovih razornih udaraca.
26 Mač ga dohvati, ali se odbije,
a tako i koplje, strijela i bat.
27 Njemu je željezo kao slama,
bronca kao trulo drvo.
28 Strijele ga ne tjeraju u bijeg,
kao strnjika mu je kamenje iz praćke.
29 Toljage su za njega slama,
smije se fijukanju koplja.
30 Trbuh mu je kao oštri komadi lončarije,
u blatu ostavljaju trag, kao od mlatila.
31 Od njega voda ključa kao u loncu,
a more se zapjeni kao pomast u kotlu.
32 Za sobom svjetlucavu brazdu ostavlja,
čovjek bi pomislio da je more osijedilo.
33 Ništa na zemlji nije mu ravno,
tom stvoru neustrašivome.
34 On s visoka gleda na sve bahate,[c]
on je kralj nad svim oholima.
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.
约伯记 41
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
41 “你能用鱼钩钓上力威亚探[a]吗？
能用绳子压下它的舌头吗？
2 你能用绳索穿它的鼻子吗？
能用钩子穿它的腮骨吗？
3 它岂向你连连恳求，
向你说温柔的话吗？
4 它岂肯与你立约，
让你拿它永远作奴仆吗？
5 你岂可拿它当雀鸟玩耍？
岂可将它系来给你幼女？
6 合伙的鱼贩岂可拿它当货物？
他们岂可把它分给商人呢？
7 你能用倒钩扎满它的皮，
能用鱼叉叉满它的头吗？
8 把你的手掌按在它身上吧！
想一想与它搏斗，你就不再这样做了！
9 看哪，对它有指望是徒然的；
一见它，岂不也丧胆吗？[b]
10 没有那么凶猛的人敢惹它。[c]
这样，谁能在我面前站立得住呢？
11 谁能与我对质，使我偿还呢？
天下万物都是我的。
12 “我不能缄默不提
它的肢体和力量，以及健美的骨骼。
13 谁能剥它的外皮？
谁能进它的铠甲之间[d]呢？
14 谁能开它的腮颊？
它牙齿的四围是可畏的。
15 它的背上有一排排的鳞甲[e]，
紧紧闭合，封得严密。
16 这鳞甲一一相连，
气不得透入其间，
17 互相连接，
胶结一起，不能分开。
18 它打喷嚏就发出光来，
它的眼睛好像晨曦[f]。
19 从它口中发出烧着的火把，
有火星飞迸出来；
20 从它鼻孔冒出烟来，
如烧开的锅在沸腾[g]。
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，
恐惧在它面前蹦跳。
23 它的肉块紧紧结连，
紧贴其身，不能摇动。
24 它的心结实如石头，
如下面的磨石那样结实。
25 它一起来，神明都恐惧，
因崩溃而惊慌失措。
26 人用刀剑扎它，是无用的，
枪、标枪、尖枪也一样。
27 它以铁为干草，
以铜为烂木。
28 箭不能使它逃走，
它看弹石如碎秸。
29 它当棍棒作碎秸，
它嘲笑短枪的飕飕声。
30 它肚腹下面是尖瓦片；
它如钉耙刮过淤泥。
31 它使深渊滚沸如锅，
使海洋如锅中膏油。
32 它使走过以后的路发光，
令人觉得深渊如同白发。
33 尘世上没有像它那样的受造物，
一无所惧。
34 凡高大的，它盯着看；
它在一切狂傲的野兽中作王。”
