1Leviathan te vaih neh na doek tih rhui neh a lai na yueh pah thai a?
1(40-25) Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fish-hook? or press down his tongue with a cord?
2A hnarhong ah canghlong na hen thai tih mutlo hling neh a kam na toeh a?
2(40-26) Canst thou put a ring into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a hook?

5(40-29) Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

7(40-31) Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?

8(40-32) Lay thy hand upon him; think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.
9A ngaiuepnah khaw a laithae ni te. A mueimae mah a hut tang aya?
9(41-1) Behold, the hope of him is in vain; shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10Anih a haeng ham khaw a muen aih bal moenih. Te dongah ka mikhmuh ah aka pai thai te unim?
10(41-2) None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?
11Kai n'doe bangla unim ka thuung eh? Vaan hmui kah boeih te kamah kah ni.
11(41-3) Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
12Amah ham bueng pawt tih a olsai neh thayung thamal ol khaw, a phu dongkah a sakthen khaw ka phah ni.
12(41-4) Would I keep silence concerning his boastings, or his proud talk, or his fair array of words?
13A pueinak te a hmai la ulong poelyoe pah. Kamrhui rhaepnit neh anih te ulong a paan?
13(41-5) Who can uncover the face of his garment? Who shall come within his double bridle?
14A maelhmai kah thohkhaih te ulong a ong eh? A no khaw mueirhih la pin om.
14(41-6) Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
15A lip photling a hoemnah khaw kutbuen neh a caek la a khaih.
15(41-7) His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16Khat te khat taengla tawn uh tih a laklo ah yilh khaw hue pawh.
16(41-8) One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17Hlang he a manuca taengah balak tih a tuuk uh daengah ni a pam uh pawh.
17(41-9) They are joined one to another; they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18A ikthi loh vangnah a thangthen tih a mik khaw mincang khosaeng banghui ni.
18(41-10) His sneezings flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19A ka lamkah hmaithoi thoeng tih hmai hli coe.
19(41-11) Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.
20A hnarhong lamkah hmaikhu khaw voh neh canghlong a yawn bangla thoeng.
20(41-12) Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.
21A hinglu loh hmai-alh a tak sak tih a ka lamloh hmaihluei thoeng.
21(41-13) His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22A rhawn ah a sarhi naeh tih a mikhmuh ah rhihnah loh malawk.
22(41-14) In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.
23A saa laep te a pum dongah malh kap tih khok pawh.
23(41-15) The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
24A lungbuei te lungto bangla ning tih a dangkah phaklung bangla ning.
24(41-16) His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, firm as the nether millstone.
25A boeimang vaengah tah tholh pocinah khui lamloh Pathen taengah bakuep uh.
25(41-17) When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.
26Anih aka kae cunghang neh caai khaw, lungsong neh caempho khaw a thoh moenih.
26(41-18) If one lay at him with the sword, it will not hold; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
27Thi te cangkong bangla, rhohum khaw keet thing bangla a poek.
27(41-19) He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28Liva capa loh anih a yong sak moenih. Payai lungto pataeng anih taengah tah divawt la poeh.
28(41-20) The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29Caemboh te divawt bangla a poek tih soe kah hinghuennah te a nueih thil.
29(41-21) Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.
30A hmui ah paikaek paihat la om dae tangnong soah sui a hnil.
30(41-22) Sharpest potsherds are under him; he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
31A laedil te am bangla a tlawk sak tih tuitunli te anhoi bangla a khueh.
31(41-23) He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a seething mixture.
32A hnukah a hawn a phi sak tih tuidung khaw sampok bangla a poek.
32(41-24) He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
33Paepnah om kolla a saii dongah laipi dongah anih aka tluk a om moenih.
33(41-25) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made to be fearless.
34Aka sang boeih te a hmuh. Amah tah hlang oek koca boeih sokah manghai ni,” a ti nah.
34(41-26) He looketh at all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
