一日，以利睡卧在自己的地方；他眼目昏花，看不分明。

那时，以利在自己的地方睡觉；他眼目开始昏花，不能看见。

One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place.

One night Eli was lying down in his usual place. His eyes were becoming so weak he couldn’t see very well.

At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place.

One night Eli, who was almost blind by now, had gone to bed.

One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his usual place.

But it happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place( now his eyesight had begun to be poor and he could not see well),

And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see,

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place( now his eyes had begun to wax dim, so that he could not see),

One day Eli, whose eyesight was failing, was lying in his room.

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli[ was] laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim,[ that] he could not see;

Eli’s eyes had begun to fail, so that he was unable to see well. At that time he was lying down in his place,

At that time, when Eli was laid down in his place( now his eyes had begun to grow dim, so that he could not see),

那時，以利已經九十八歲，眼睛因為年老而失明。

以撒年老的時候，眼睛昏花，幾乎看不見。他把大兒子以掃叫來，說：「我兒啊！」以掃說：「我在這裡。」

以色列因為年老眼睛已經昏花。約瑟把兒子帶到他面前，他就親吻他們、擁抱他們。

守衛家園的手腳顫抖，強壯的身軀變得彎腰駝背；牙齒稀少，無法咀嚼；視力衰退，看不清楚；

以利年事已高，他聽說兩個兒子對待以色列人的惡行，以及他們與在會幕門口供職的婦女行淫的事後，

他父親卻不同意，說：「我兒啊，我知道，我知道。他必發展成一個強大的民族，但他弟弟將比他更強大，他弟弟的後裔必成為多個民族。」

我們一生七十歲，強壯的可活八十歲，但人生最美好的時光也充滿勞苦和愁煩，生命轉瞬即逝，我們便如飛而去。
