1“Can you 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？
2Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
3牠豈向你連連懇求， 說柔和的話嗎？
3Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?
4豈肯與你立約， 使你拿牠永遠作奴僕嗎？
4Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?

5Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?
6搭夥的 漁夫 豈可拿牠當貨物嗎？ 能把牠分給商人嗎？
6Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?
7你能用倒鉤槍扎滿牠的皮， 能用魚叉叉滿牠的頭嗎？
7Can you 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！
8Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.
9人指望捉拿牠是徒然的； 一見牠，豈不喪膽嗎？
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t 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？
10None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?
11誰先給我甚麼，使我償還呢？ 天下 萬物 都是我的。
11Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens 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“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
13誰能剝牠的外衣？ 誰能進牠上下牙骨之間呢？
13Who can strip off his outer garment? Who will come within his jaws?
14誰能開牠的腮頰？ 牠牙齒四圍是可畏的。
14Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.
15牠以堅固的鱗甲為可誇， 緊緊合閉，封得嚴密。
15Strong scales are his pride, shut up together with a close seal.
16這鱗甲一一相連， 甚至氣不得透入其間，
16One 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。
17They are joined to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.
18牠打噴嚏就發出光來； 牠眼睛好像早晨的光線。
18His sneezing flashes out light. 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；
19Out of his mouth go burning torches. Sparks of fire leap out.
20從牠鼻孔冒出煙來， 如燒開的鍋和 點着 的蘆葦。
20Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
21牠的氣點着煤炭， 有火焰從牠口中發出。
21His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.
22牠頸項中存着勁力； 在牠面前的都恐嚇蹦跳。
22There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.
23牠的肉塊互相聯絡， 緊貼其身，不能搖動。
23The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.
24牠的心結實如石頭， 如下磨石那樣結實。
24His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.
25牠一起來，勇士都驚恐， 心裏慌亂，便都昏迷。
25When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.
26人若用刀，用槍，用標槍， 用尖槍扎牠，都是無用。
26If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27牠以鐵為乾草， 以銅為爛木。
27He counts iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood.
28箭不能 恐嚇牠 使牠逃避； 彈石在牠看為碎稭。
28The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.
29棍棒算為禾稭； 牠嗤笑短槍颼的響聲。
29Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.
30牠肚腹下 如 尖瓦片； 牠如釘耙經過淤泥。
30His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.
31牠使深淵開滾如鍋， 使洋海如鍋中的膏油。
31He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32牠行的路隨後發光， 令人想深淵如同白髮。
32He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.
33在地上沒有像牠造的那樣， 無所懼怕。
33On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.
34凡高大的，牠無不藐視； 牠在驕傲的水族上作王。
34He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”
