Berean Standard Bible
1ΟΥΧ ἑώρακας αὐτόν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας;
1“Can you pull in Leviathan with a hook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
2οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς;
2Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
3ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν;
3Will he beg you for mercy or speak to you softly?
4οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτῷ.
4Will he make a covenant with you to take him as a slave for life?
5τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ, εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι;
5Can you pet him like a bird or put him on a leash for your maidens?
6πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει; κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος.
6Will traders barter for him or divide him among the merchants?
7τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκεαι, σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμυρίτης λίθος·
7Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
8εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν·
8If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!
9ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται, συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν.
9Surely hope of overcoming him is false. Is not the sight of him overwhelming?
10ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος Ἑωσφόρου.
10No one is so fierce as to rouse Leviathan. Then who is able to stand against Me?
11ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται ὡς λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ὡς ἐσχάραι πυρός.
11Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
12ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων.
12I cannot keep silent about his limbs, his power and graceful form.
13ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται.
13Who can strip off his outer coat? Who can approach him with a bridle?
14ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια.
14Who can open his jaws, ringed by his fearsome teeth?
15σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται.
15His rows of scales are his pride, tightly sealed together.
16ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκε δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος.
16One scale is so near to another that no air can pass between them.
17στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις.
17They are joined to one another; they clasp and cannot be separated.
18ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσι δόρυ καὶ θώρακα·
18His snorting flashes with light, and his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν.
19Firebrands stream from his mouth; fiery sparks shoot forth!
20οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκεον, ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον·
20Smoke billows from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
21ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου.
21His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames pour from his mouth.
22ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς, πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος.
22Strength resides in his neck, and dismay leaps before him.
23ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον, ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον,
23The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
24τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον.
24His chest is as hard as a rock, as hard as a lower millstone!
25οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου·
25When Leviathan rises up, the mighty are terrified; they withdraw before his thrashing.
26πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ, αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
26The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or dart or arrow.
