Chapter 14: The Battle
Bab 14: Pertempuran
The battle with Moby Dick was like nothing I had ever experienced. The whale was intelligent, using the ocean to its advantage. It dived deep and resurfaced behind us, it used its tail to create waves that capsized boats.
Pertempuran dengan Moby Dick tidak seperti apa pun yang pernah kualami. Paus itu cerdas, menggunakan lautan untuk keuntungannya. Ia menyelam dalam dan muncul kembali di belakang kami, ia menggunakan ekornya untuk menciptakan ombak yang membalikkan perahu.
Harpoons struck the white whale again and again, but Moby Dick seemed unstoppable. It attacked our small boats with incredible power, destroying them one by one. Men were thrown into the water, some never to be seen again.
Tombak menghantam paus putih itu lagi dan lagi, tetapi Moby Dick tampak tak terhentikan. Ia menyerang perahu-perahu kecil kami dengan kekuatan luar biasa, menghancurkannya satu per satu. Para pria terlempar ke air, beberapa tidak pernah terlihat lagi.
I saw Captain Ahab in his boat, his harpoon raised, his face fierce with determination. He would not stop until he had his revenge or was destroyed trying.
Aku melihat Kapten Ahab di perahunya, tombaknya terangkat, wajahnya garang dengan tekad. Dia tidak akan berhenti sampai dia membalas dendam atau hancur saat mencoba.
