Паҳн кунед

“Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread its wings toward the south? Does the eagle soar at your command and build its nest on high? It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is its stronghold. From there it looks for food; its eyes detect it from afar. Its young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there it is.”

“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away. His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he.”

“Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest? It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag. From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes. Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”

Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread its wings to the south? Does the eagle soar at your command and make its nest  on high? It lives on a cliff where it spends the night; its stronghold is on a rocky crag. From there it searches for prey;  its eyes penetrate the distance. Its brood gulps down blood, and where the slain are, it is there.

Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, And stretch her wings toward the south? Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, And make her nest on high? She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, Upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, And her eyes behold afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.

“Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south? Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high? On the rock it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold. From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar. Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is.”

“Was it through your know-how that the hawk learned to fly, soaring effortlessly on thermal updrafts? Did you command the eagle’s flight, and teach her to build her nest in the heights, Perfectly at home on the high cliff face, invulnerable on pinnacle and crag? From her perch she searches for prey, spies it at a great distance. Her young gorge themselves on carrion; wherever there’s a roadkill, you’ll see her circling.”

¶“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south? “Is it at your command that the eagle flies high, And makes his nest on high? “He dwells and spends his nights on the cliff, On the rocky cliff, an inaccessible place. “From there he tracks food; His eyes look at it from afar. “His young ones also lick up blood greedily; And where the slain are, there he is.”

¶“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south [as winter approaches]? “Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high [in an inaccessible place]? “On the cliff he dwells and remains [securely], Upon the point of the rock and the inaccessible stronghold. “From there he spies out the prey; His eyes see it from far away. “His young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.”

“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, and spreads its wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high? It lives on a rock and spends the night there, on a rocky crag and a fortress. From there it spots its prey, its eyes gaze intently from a distance. And its young ones devour the blood, and where the dead carcasses are, there it is.”
