I am now eighty years old. Can I tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats and drinks? Can I still hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

I’m already 80 years old. I can hardly tell the difference between what is enjoyable and what isn’t. I can hardly taste what I eat and drink. I can’t even hear the voices of male and female singers anymore. So why should I add my problems to yours?

I am this day eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or what he drinks? Can I still listen to the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

I am eighty years old today, and I can no longer enjoy anything. Food and wine are no longer tasty, and I cannot hear the singers as they sing. I would only be a burden to my lord the king.

I’m now eighty years old. Can I discern what is pleasant and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of male and female singers? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I still hear the voice of men and women singing? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my Lord the king?

I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?

I am presently eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I continue to be a burden to my lord the king?

I am eighty years old, today. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of singing men and singing women any more? Why then should your servant be a burden to my lord the king?

大衛對他說：『你若和我一同去，反而做我的累贅。

此外還有他們的奴僕婢女、七千三百三十七人；他們又有男歌唱者和女歌唱者二百人。

這其中、我們的年日是七十歲；若是強壯，可到八十歲；但其中所矜誇的、不過是勞苦愁煩迅速地過去，我們也飛沒了。

若是一家太小、喫不了一隻小羊，就要和附近他家的鄰居按着人數去取：你們取小羊，要按着每人所能喫的分量計算。

我又為自己積蓄着金銀、和君王的珍寶、各省的珍寶；我得了男女歌唱者和人類所喜愛之物、並許多的妃嬪。

『耳朵豈不試驗話語，上膛豈不嘗食物麼？

此外還有他們的奴僕和婢女、七千三百三十七人；他們又有男歌唱者和女歌唱者二百四十五人。

你要在青年的日子想念着創造你、的主，就是在衰敗的日子還未來到，在你所說對於它毫無樂趣的那些年日還未臨近之先，在日頭、亮光、月亮、星辰、還未黑暗，在雨後雲回以前想念着主；當那日子、看守房屋的都發抖，大有力氣的人都彎腰，推磨的因稀少、都停了工，從窗戶往外看的都昏矇了，通街上的門扇都關閉着，推磨的響聲低微，一聽到鳥兒的聲音，人就起來，唱歌的音調都降低了；人都怕爬高，怕路上有驚慌；杏兒他拒絕；跨鳳是重擔；壯陽藥也無效；因為人快要到他永遠的家去，職業號咷者都在街上四圍等着；

我的舌頭哪裏有不對呢？我的上膛不能辨明災害麼？

法老的女兒對她說：『好，你去吧。』童女就去，把孩子的母親叫來，

惟獨完全長大的人才能喫硬食物：他們的官能已因習用而充分操練、能夠辨別好歹了。

因為你們確已嘗過主是多麼好滋味的。

有禍啊，那些清早起來，追求濃酒，留連到晚上，甚至酒酣耳熱的人！他們在筵席上彈琴、鼓瑟、擊手鼓、吹笛、喝酒；永恆主的作為他們不顧念；他手所作的他們都不看。

王對押沙龍說：『不，我兒；我們不必都去；你花費會太重。』押沙龍迫切地請王，王還是不情願去，只是給他祝福。
