LXX
1
Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Οὐχ ἐώρακας αὐτόν; οὐδὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις τεθαύμακας;
2
Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Οὐ δέδοικας, ὅτι ἡτοίμασταί μοι; τίς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐμοὶ ἀντιστάς;
3
Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
Ἢ τίς ἀντιστήσεταί μοι, καὶ ὑπομενεῖ; εἰ πᾶσα ἡ ὑπʼ οὐρανὸν ἐμή ἐστιν,
4
Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
Οὐ σιωπήσομαι διʼ αὐτόν· καὶ λόγον δυνάμεως ἐλεήσει τὸν ἶσον αὐτῷ.
5
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Τίς ἀποκαλύψει πρόσωπον ἐνδύσεως αὐτοῦ, εἰς δὲ πτύξιν θώρακος αὐτοῦ τίς ἂν εἰσέλθοι;
6
Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
Πύλας προσώπου αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνοίξει; κύκλῳ ὀδόντων αὐτοῦ φόβος.
7
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
Τὰ ἔγκατα αὐτοῦ ἀσπίδες χάλκεαι. σύνδεσμος δὲ αὐτοῦ, ὥσπερ σμυρίτης λίθος.
8
Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Εἷς τοῦ ἑνὸς κολλῶνται, πνεῦμα δὲ οὐ μὴ διέλθῃ αὐτόν.
9
Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Ἀνὴρ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ προσκολληθήσεται· συνέχονται καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποσπασθῶσιν.
10
None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Ἐν πταρμῷ αὐτοῦ ἐπιφαύσκεται φέγγος, οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ εἶδος Ἑωσφόρου.
11
Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύονται ὡς λαμπάδες καιόμεναι, καὶ διαῤῥιπτοῦνται ἑς ἐσχάραι πυρός.
12
I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Ἐκ μυκτήρων αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται καπνὸς καμίνου καιομένης πυρὶ ἀνθράκων.
13
Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρακες, φλὸξ δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐκπορεύεται·
14
Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
Ἐν δὲ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ αὐλίζεται δύναμις, ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ τρέχει ἀπώλεια.
15
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
Σάρκες δὲ σώματος αὐτοῦ κεκόλληνται· καταχέει ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, οὐ σαλευθήσεται.
16
One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
Ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ πέπηγεν ὡς λίθος, ἕστηκε δὲ ὥσπερ ἄκμων ἀνήλατος.
17
They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Στραφέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, φόβος θηρίοις τετράποσιν ἐπὶ γῆς ἁλλομένοις.
18
By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Ἐὰν συναντήσωσιν αὐτῷ λόγχαι, οὐδὲν μὴ ποιήσωσι, δόρυ, καὶ θώρακα.
19
Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Ἥγηται μὲν γὰρ σίδηρον ἄχυρα, χαλκὸν δὲ ὥσπερ ξύλον σαθρόν.
20
Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
Οὐ μὴ τρώσῃ αὐτὸν τόξον χάλκεον· ἥγηται μὲν πετροβόλον χόρτον.
21
His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Ὡς καλάμη ἐλογίσθησαν σφυρά, καταγελᾷ δὲ σεισμοῦ πυρφόρου.
22
In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Ἡ στρωμνὴ αὐτοῦ ὀβελίσκοι ὀξεῖς, πᾶς δὲ χρυσὸς θαλάσσης ὑπʼ αὐτὸν ὥσπερ πηλὸς ἀμύθητος.
23
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Ἀναζεῖ τὴν ἄβυσσον ὥσπερ χαλκεῖον· ἥγηται δὲ τὴν θάλασσαν ὥσπερ ἐξάλειπτρον,
24
His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
τὸν δὲ τάρταρον τῆς ἀβύσσου ὥσπερ αἰχμάλωτον· ἐλογίσατο ἄβυσσον εἰς περίπατον.
25
When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Οὐκ ἔστιν οὐδὲν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὅμοιον αὐτῷ, πεποιημένον ἐκαταπαίζεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων μου.
26
The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
Πᾶν ὑψηλὸν ὁρᾷ· αὐτὸς δὲ βασιλεὺς πάντων τῶν ἐν τοῖς ὕδασιν.
27
He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
—
28
The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
—
29
Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
—
30
Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
—
31
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
—
32
He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
—
33
Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
—
34
He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
