King James Version with Apocrypha
1ΟΥΧ ἑώρακας αὐτόν, οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας;
1Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2οὐ δέδοικας ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς;
2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι καὶ ὑπομενεῖ, εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπ᾿ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν;
3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4οὐ σιωπήσομαι δι᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἴσον αὐτῷ.
4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ, εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι;
5Wilt 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.
6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκεαι, σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ ὥσπερ σμυρίτης λίθος·
7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν·
8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται, συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν.
9Behold, 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.
10None 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.
11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων.
12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται.
13Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια.
14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται.
15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκε δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος.
16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις.
17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσι δόρυ καὶ θώρακα·
18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν.
19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκεον, ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον·
20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφῦραι, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου.
21His 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.
22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον, ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον,
23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον.
24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone .
25οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ πεποιημένον ἐγκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου·
25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ, αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
