World English Bible
1Leviathan to cakoih hoi na tathok thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe anih ih palai to qui hoiah na pathlet pae thai tih maw?
1“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?
2A hnah to na daw pae moe, anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoiah na taqawt pae thai tih maw?
2Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3Anih mah tahmenhaih na hni ueloe, nang khaeah lok kanaem to thui tih maw?
3Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?
4Anih loe hing thung na tamna ah oh hanah, nang khaeah lokmaihaih sah tih maw?
4Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?
5Anih to tavaa hoi amhai baktiah nam hai haih han maw? To tih ai boeh loe nangmah ih nongpatanawk hanah anih to qui hoiah na pathlet pae han maw?
5Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?
6Nam puinawk mah anih han buhraenghaih sah pae tih maw? Anih to hmuen zaw kaminawk khaeah athum o sak tih maw?
6Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?
7Sum kamsum hoiah anih ih ahin to na thunh thai tih maw? To tih ai boeh loe a lu to tanga thunhaih tayae hoiah na thunh thai tih maw?
7Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?
8Anih nuiah ban to mah koeng ah, anih tuk hanah poek hmah.
8Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.
9Khenah, anih pazawk han poekhaih loe azom pui ni; anih hnu kami loe amthaek bup mak ai maw?
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10Anih to mi mah doeh pahrue thai mak ai; to tiah om nahaeloe mi maw ka hmaa ah angdoe thai tih?
10None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
11Ka sak pathok let hanah mi mah maw na pakaa thai tih? Van tlim ih hmuennawk boih loe kai ih ni.
11Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.
12Leviathan ih khokbannawk, a thacakhaih hoi kahoih takpumnawk thui ai ah ka om thai mak ai.
12“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
13Mi mah maw anih ih ahin to khok pae thai tih? Mi mah maw anih ih akam huh to cakoih hoi tathok hanah a taengah caeh thai tih?
13Who can strip off his outer garment? Who will come within his jaws?
14Mi mah maw anih ih mikhmai thok to paong pae thai tih? Anih ih haanawk loe zit thoh.
14Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
15Kacak ah catui daeng baktih toengah, kangbok a nui ih ahin loe anih amoekhaih ah oh.
15Strong scales are his pride, shut up together with a close seal.
16Takhi akun thaih han ai ah, ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet.
16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17Ahin maeto hoi maeto angbet moe, kacakah angbet caeng pongah khram thai ai.
17They are joined to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
18Anih pasih naah hmai ampha, a mik loe akhawn bangah pakhrip ih mik baktiah oh.
18His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19Anih ih pakha thung hoiah hmai aengh hoi hmai kangqong to tacawt.
19Out of his mouth go burning torches. Sparks of fire leap out.
20Tui tangdawh thlukbuk laom thung hoi tacawt hmaikhue baktih toengah, a hnakhaw thung hoiah hmaikhue to tacawt.
20Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
21Anih anghahhaih takhi mah hmaisaae to amngaehsak moe, anih ih pakha thung hoiah kangqong hmai to tacawt.
21His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.
22Anih ih tahnong ah thacakhaih to oh, anih hmaa ah loe palungsethaih to anghoehaih ah oh.
22There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.
23Anih ih ngan thaquinawk loe nawnto amraep o, angthui thai ai, cakrap.
23The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.
24Anih ih palung loe thlung baktiah amtak; ue, cang kaehhaih thlung baktiah amtak.
24His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.
25Anih angthawk tahang naah, thacak kaminawk loe zithaih hoiah oh o; anih tamai boh naah om o thai ai.
25When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.
26Anih loe sumsen mah caa ai; tayae, palaa hoi ahnuk ahma kamsum tayae mah doeh caa ai.
26If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27Anih loe sum to caphaeh baktiah poek moe, sumkamling doeh kahmawn thing baktiah a poek.
27He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
28Palaa mah anih to cawnsak thai mak ai; lawkthluem doeh tavai baktiah ni a poek.
28The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.
29Anih han loe thingboeng doeh cangkung baktiah ni oh; tayae hoi takhawh han pahuem naah anih mah pahnuithuih.
29Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
30Anih ih zok loe kanoe laom koi baktiah oh; tangnong nui ih sum kanoe haa caehhaih ahmuen baktiah oh.
30His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31Anih mah kathuk tuipui to laom thung ih tangdawh tui baktiah haeh moe, tuipui to laom nokhaih moithawk baktiah a sak.
31He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32A caeh taak ih loklam loe ampha pongah, tuipui loe sam kanglung baktiah oh.
32He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.
33Anih baktiah zithaih tawn ai ah sak ih hmuen maeto doeh long nuiah om ai.
33On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.
34Anih loe kasang hmuennawk to khet; anih loe amoekhaih hmuennawk boih ih siangpahrang ah oh, tiah a naa.
34He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”
