彼甘忘太古以上帝命而有諸天及地自水而出、以水而結、

彼不欲知、太初之世、上帝有命、天地以成、地由水出、因以堅凝、

彼不欲知太初以主命而有天、亦有地出於水、賴水而立、賴水而立或作立於水中

是亦不思而已矣！夫太初天地之成、實憑天主之言；地由水成、因以堅凝、

But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

Long ago, God’s word brought the heavens into being. His word separated the earth from the waters. And the waters surrounded it. But these people forget things like that on purpose.

For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,

They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.

They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.

For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God;

They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water by the word of God.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

For they deliberately suppress this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water.

For this they willfully forget that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water by the word of God,

我們憑信心知道宇宙是藉著上帝的話造成的，所以看得見的是從看不見的造出來的。

上帝說：「水與水之間要有穹蒼，把水分開。」

上帝說：「天空下面的水要聚在一處，使乾地露出來。」果然如此。

祂把大地奠基於海中，建立在大水之上。

要稱謝那位在水上鋪展大地的，因為祂的慈愛永遠長存。

用盡各樣詭計欺騙那些將要滅亡的人，因為他們不喜歡接受那能拯救他們的真理。上帝就讓他們是非不辨，去相信那些虛假的謊言，使一切不相信真理、反喜愛不義的人都被定罪。

諸天靠祂的話而造，群星靠祂口中的氣而成。

既然他們故意不認識上帝，上帝就任憑他們心思敗壞，做不當做的事。

祂存在於萬物之前，萬物都靠祂而維繫。

光來到世上，世人因為自己的行為邪惡而不愛光，反愛黑暗，這就是他們被定罪的原因。作惡的人恨光，不肯接近光，恐怕他們的罪行暴露出來。

愚人無心求智慧，手中有錢有何用？
