JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1你能用魚鉤釣上鱷魚嗎？ 能用繩子壓下牠的舌頭嗎？
1(40-25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2你能用繩索穿牠的鼻子嗎？ 能用鉤穿牠的腮骨嗎？
2(40-26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?
3牠豈向你連連懇求， 說柔和的話嗎？
3(40-27) Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?

7(40-31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?
8你按手在牠身上，想與牠爭戰， 就不再這樣行吧！
8(40-32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.
9人指望捉拿牠是徒然的； 一見牠，豈不喪膽嗎？
9(41-1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10沒有那麼兇猛的人敢惹牠。 這樣，誰能在我面前站立得住呢？
10(41-2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
11誰先給我甚麼，使我償還呢？ 天下 萬物 都是我的。
11(41-3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12論到鱷魚的肢體和其大力，並美好的骨骼， 我不能緘默不言。
12(41-4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?
13誰能剝牠的外衣？ 誰能進牠上下牙骨之間呢？
13(41-5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?
14誰能開牠的腮頰？ 牠牙齒四圍是可畏的。
14(41-6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15牠以堅固的鱗甲為可誇， 緊緊合閉，封得嚴密。
15(41-7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16這鱗甲一一相連， 甚至氣不得透入其間，
16(41-8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17都是互相聯絡、膠結， 不能分離。
17(41-9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18牠打噴嚏就發出光來； 牠眼睛好像早晨的光線。
18(41-10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19從牠口中發出燒着的火把， 與飛迸的火星；
19(41-11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20從牠鼻孔冒出煙來， 如燒開的鍋和 點着 的蘆葦。
20(41-12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.
21牠的氣點着煤炭， 有火焰從牠口中發出。
21(41-13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22牠頸項中存着勁力； 在牠面前的都恐嚇蹦跳。
22(41-14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.
23牠的肉塊互相聯絡， 緊貼其身，不能搖動。
23(41-15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24牠的心結實如石頭， 如下磨石那樣結實。
24(41-16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25牠一起來，勇士都驚恐， 心裏慌亂，便都昏迷。
25(41-17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.
26人若用刀，用槍，用標槍， 用尖槍扎牠，都是無用。
26(41-18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27牠以鐵為乾草， 以銅為爛木。
27(41-19) He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28箭不能 恐嚇牠 使牠逃避； 彈石在牠看為碎稭。
28(41-20) The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29棍棒算為禾稭； 牠嗤笑短槍颼的響聲。
29(41-21) Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.
30牠肚腹下 如 尖瓦片； 牠如釘耙經過淤泥。
30(41-22) Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
31牠使深淵開滾如鍋， 使洋海如鍋中的膏油。
31(41-23) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture.
32牠行的路隨後發光， 令人想深淵如同白髮。
32(41-24) He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33在地上沒有像牠造的那樣， 無所懼怕。
33(41-25) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless.
34凡高大的，牠無不藐視； 牠在驕傲的水族上作王。
34(41-26) He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
