JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1ΟΥΧ ἑώρακας αὐτόν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας;
1(40-25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς;
2(40-26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?
3ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν;
3(40-27) Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak soft words unto thee?
4οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτῷ.
4(40-28) Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
5τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ, εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι;
5(40-29) Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει; κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος.
6(40-30) Will the bands of fishermen make a banquet of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
7τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκεαι, σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμυρίτης λίθος·
7(40-31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?
8εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν·
8(40-32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.
9ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται, συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν.
9(41-1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος Ἑωσφόρου.
10(41-2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
11ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται ὡς λαμπάδες καιόμεναι καὶ διαρριπτοῦνται ὡς ἐσχάραι πυρός.
11(41-3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων.
12(41-4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?
13ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται.
13(41-5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?
14ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια.
14(41-6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται.
15(41-7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκε δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος.
16(41-8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις.
17(41-9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσι δόρυ καὶ θώρακα·
18(41-10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν.
19(41-11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκεον, ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον·
20(41-12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.
21ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου.
21(41-13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς, πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπ᾿ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος.
22(41-14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.
23ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον, ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον,
23(41-15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον.
24(41-16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου·
25(41-17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.
26πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ, αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
26(41-18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
