Job 41
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1[Non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum: quis enim resistere potest vultui meo?
1Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei? omnia quæ sub cælo sunt, mea sunt.
2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
3Non parcam ei, et verbis potentibus, et ad deprecandum compositis.
3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4Quis revelabit faciem indumenti ejus? et in medium oris ejus quis intrabit?
4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5Portas vultus ejus quis aperiet? per gyrum dentium ejus formido.
5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia, compactum squamis se prementibus.
6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
7Una uni conjungitur, et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas.
7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8Una alteri adhærebit, et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.
8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9Sternutatio ejus splendor ignis, et oculi ejus ut palpebræ diluculi.
9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10De ore ejus lampades procedunt, sicut tædæ ignis accensæ.
10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
11De naribus ejus procedit fumus, sicut ollæ succensæ atque ferventis.
11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12Halitus ejus prunas ardere facit, et flamma de ore ejus egreditur.
12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo, et faciem ejus præcedit egestas.
13Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14Membra carnium ejus cohærentia sibi: mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur.
14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15Cor ejus indurabitur tamquam lapis, et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus.
15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli, et territi purgabuntur.
16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsistere non poterit, neque hasta, neque thorax:
17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
18reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum, et quasi lignum putridum æs.
18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius: in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundæ.
19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20Quasi stipulam æstimabit malleum, et deridebit vibrantem hastam.
20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21Sub ipso erunt radii solis, et sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum.
21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
22Fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare, et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt.
22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23Post eum lucebit semita: æstimabit abyssum quasi senescentem.
23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24Non est super terram potestas quæ comparetur ei, qui factus est ut nullum timeret.
24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone .
25Omne sublime videt: ipse est rex super universos filios superbiæ.]
25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
