ASV American Standard Version (1901)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
1 ¿SACARÁS tú al leviathán con el anzuelo, ó con la cuerda que le echares en su lengua?
2 Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
2 ¿Pondrás tú garfio en sus narices, y horadarás con espinas su quijada?
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?
3 ¿Multiplicará él ruegos para contigo? ¿hablaráte él lisonjas?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?
4 ¿Hará concierto contigo para que lo tomes por siervo perpetuo?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
5 ¿Jugarás tú con él como con pájaro, ó lo atarás para tus niñas?
6 Will the bands [of fishermen] make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?
6 ¿Harán de él banquete los compañeros? ¿partiránlo entre los mercaderes?
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?
7 ¿Cortarás tú con cuchillo su cuero, ó con asta de pescadores su cabeza?
8 Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.
8 Pon tu mano sobre él; te acordarás de la batalla, y nunca más tornarás.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
9 He aquí que la esperanza acerca de él será burlada: porque aun á su sola vista se desmayarán.
10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?
10 Nadie hay tan osado que lo despierte: ¿quién pues podrá estar delante de mí?
11 Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
11 ¿Quién me ha anticipado, para que yo restituya? [Todo lo que hay] debajo del cielo es mío.
12 I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.
12 Yo no callaré sus miembros, ni lo de sus fuerzas y la gracia de su disposición.
13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws?
13 ¿Quién descubrirá la delantera de su vestidura? ¿quién se llegará á él con freno doble?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
14 ¿Quién abrirá las puertas de su rostro? Los órdenes de sus dientes espantan.
15 [His] strong scales are [his] pride, Shut up together [as with] a close seal.
15 La gloria [de su vestido son] escudos fuertes, cerrados entre sí estrechamente.
16 One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.
16 El uno se junta con el otro, que viento no entra entre ellos.
17 They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.
17 Pegado está el uno con el otro, están trabados entre sí, que no se pueden apartar.
18 His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
18 Con sus estornudos encienden lumbre, y sus ojos son como los párpados del alba.
19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.
19 De su boca salen hachas de fuego; centellas de fuego proceden.
20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.
20 De sus narices sale humo, como de una olla ó caldero que hierve.
21 His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth.
21 Su aliento enciende los carbones, y de su boca sale llama.
22 In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him.
22 En su cerviz mora la fortaleza, y espárcese el desaliento delante de él.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.
23 Las partes momias de su carne están apretadas: están en él firmes, y no se mueven.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.
24 Su corazón es firme como una piedra, y fuerte como la muela de abajo.
25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.
25 De su grandeza tienen temor los fuertes, y á causa de su desfallecimiento hacen por purificarse.
26 If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.
26 Cuando alguno lo alcanzare, ni espada, ni lanza, ni dardo, ni coselete durará.
27 He counteth iron as straw, [And] brass as rotten wood.
27 El hierro estima por pajas, y el acero por leño podrido.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
28 Saeta no le hace huir; las piedras de honda se le tornan aristas.
29 Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
29 Tiene toda arma por hojarascas, y del blandir de la pica se burla.
30 His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds: He spreadeth [as it were] a threshing-wain upon the mire.
30 Por debajo [tiene] agudas conchas; Imprime [su] agudez en el suelo.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
31 Hace hervir como una olla la profunda mar, y tórnala como una olla de ungüento.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.
32 En pos de sí hace resplandecer la senda, que parece que la mar es cana.
33 Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.
33 No hay sobre la tierra su semejante, hecho para nada temer.
34 He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.
34 Menosprecia toda cosa alta: es rey sobre todos los soberbios.
