¹Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

¹Dapatkah kautangkap si buaya Lewiatan, hanya dengan sebuah pancing ikan? Dapatkah lidahnya kautambat dengan tali-tali pengikat?

²Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

²Dapatkah engkau memasang tali pada hidungnya ataupun kait besi pada rahangnya?

³Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

³Mungkinkah ia mohon padamu untuk dibebaskan? atau berunding denganmu, minta belas kasihan?

⁴Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

⁴Mungkinkah ia membuat persetujuan denganmu, dan berjanji akan selalu melayanimu?

⁵Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

⁵Mungkinkah engkau mengikatnya seperti burung peliharaan, yang menyenangkan hamba-hamba perempuan?

⁶Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

⁶Mungkinkah ia diperdagangkan oleh nelayan-nelayan dan dibagi-bagikan di antara para pedagang?

⁷Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

⁷Dapatkah kautusuk kulitnya dengan tombak bermata tiga atau kaulempari dia dengan lembing yang menembus kepalanya?

⁸Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

⁸Sentuhlah dia sekali saja, dan tak akan lagi engkau mengulanginya; pertarungan itu tak akan kaulupakan selama-lamanya.

⁹Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

⁹Setiap orang yang melihat Lewiatan, akan menjadi lemah lalu jatuh pingsan.

¹⁰None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

¹⁰Ia ganas bila dibangunkan dari tidurnya; tak seorang pun berani berdiri di hadapannya.

¹¹Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

¹¹Siapa yang dapat menyerangnya tanpa kena cedera? Di dunia ini tak ada yang sanggup melakukannya.

¹²I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

¹²Marilah Kuceritakan tentang anggota badan Lewiatan, tentang kekuatannya dan bentuknya yang tampan.

¹³Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

¹³Tak seorang pun dapat mengoyakkan baju luarnya atau menembus baju perang yang dipakainya.

¹⁴Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

¹⁴Siapa dapat membuka moncongnya yang kuat, berisi gigi-gigi yang dahsyat?

¹⁵His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

¹⁵Bagai perisai tersusun, itulah punggungnya terlekat rapat, seperti batu kerasnya.

¹⁶One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

¹⁶Tindih-menindih, terikat erat, sehingga angin pun tak dapat masuk menyelinap.

¹⁷They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

¹⁷Perisai itu begitu kuat bertautan sehingga tak mungkin diceraikan.

¹⁸By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

¹⁸Apabila Lewiatan bersin, berpijaran cahaya; matanya berkilau bagai terbitnya sang surya.

¹⁹Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

¹⁹Lidah api menghambur dari mulutnya; bunga api berpancaran ke mana-mana.

²⁰Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

²⁰Asap mengepul dari dalam hidungnya, seperti asap kayu bakar di bawah belanga.

²¹His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

²¹Napasnya menyalakan bara; nyala api keluar dari mulutnya.

²²In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

²²Tengkuknya demikian kuatnya, sehingga semuanya ketakutan di hadapannya.

²³The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

²³Tak ada tempat lemah pada kulitnya; tak mungkin pecah karena sekeras baja.

²⁴His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

²⁴Hatinya seteguh batu, tak kenal bimbang kokoh dan keras seperti batu gilingan.

²⁵When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

²⁵Bila ia bangkit, orang terkuat pun kehilangan keberanian, dibuat tak berdaya karena sangat ketakutan.

²⁶The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

²⁶Tak ada pedang yang dapat melukainya; tombak, panah ataupun lembing tak dapat menyakitinya.

²⁷He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

²⁷Besi dianggapnya sehalus rerumputan dan tembaga selunak kayu bercendawan.

²⁸The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

²⁸Tak ada panah yang dapat menghalau dia; batu yang dilemparkan kepadanya seolah-olah jerami saja.

²⁹Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

²⁹Gada dianggapnya sehelai rumput kering; ia tertawa jika orang melemparkan lembing.

³⁰Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

³⁰Sisik di perutnya seperti beling yang runcing ujungnya. Bagai alat penebah ia mengorek lumpur dan membelahnya.

³¹He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

³¹Laut dikocoknya sehingga menyerupai air mendidih; seperti panci pemasak minyak yang berbuih-buih.

³²He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

³²Ia meninggalkan bekas tapak kaki yang bercahaya, laut diubahnya menjadi buih yang putih warnanya.

³³Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

³³Di atas bumi tak ada tandingannya; makhluk yang tak kenal takut, itulah dia!

³⁴He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

³⁴Binatang yang paling megah pun dipandangnya hina; di antara segala binatang buas, dialah raja."
