言及世人、我心自謂、上帝欲試之、使知其與獸無異、

我心里说，这乃为世人的缘故，是神要试验他们，使他们觉得自己不过像兽一样。

我心里说：“为世人的缘故，上帝考验他们，让他们看见自己不过像走兽一样。”

我心里说：“为世人的缘故，神考验他们，让他们看见自己不过像走兽一样。”

我又想：“至于世人，上帝试验他们，是要他们知道自己与兽类无异。

我自己心里说：“至于世人，神要试验他们，使他们看见自己与牲畜无异。

至于世人，我心里说：“神在考验他们，要让他们看见自己像兽类一样”；

我心裏說，這乃為世人的緣故，是神要試驗他們，使他們覺得自己不過像獸一樣。

我心裏說：「為世人的緣故，上帝考驗他們，讓他們看見自己不過像走獸一樣。」

我心裏說：「為世人的緣故，神考驗他們，讓他們看見自己不過像走獸一樣。」

我又想：「至於世人，上帝試驗他們，是要他們知道自己與獸類無異。

我自己心裡說：“至於世人，神要試驗他們，使他們看見自己與牲畜無異。

我心裏說：這是為了人類的緣故：是上帝要試驗他們，使他們看出自己不過像獸類一樣。

至於世人，我心裡說：「神在考驗他們，要讓他們看見自己像獸類一樣」；

又思世人行事、上帝察之、欲人知異於禽獸者幾希。

我又自思曰、世事如是乃緣人之故、蓋天主欲以試人、使人知人與獸無異、

I also said to myself,“ As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.

I also said to myself,“ God tests human beings. He does this so they can see that in certain ways they are like animals.

I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.

I also thought about the human condition— how God proves to people that they are like animals.

I said to myself,“ This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”

I said to myself regarding the sons of mankind,“ God is testing them in order for them to see that they are as animals, they to themselves.”

I said in my heart,“ Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

I said to myself,“ This happens concerning people, so that God may test them and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”

I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

I also thought to myself,“ It is for the sake of people, so God can clearly show them that they are like animals.

I said in my heart,“ As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

我愚蠢無知、在爾前同於獸兮、

夫存乎人者有一死、死後有鞫、

謂亞當曰、爾既聽婦言、食我所禁之果、土必緣爾見詛、爾畢生勤勞、食其所產、土將為爾叢生荊棘蒺藜、汝所食者、田間之蔬、必汗流浹面、始可得食、迨爾歸土、蓋爾由土出、汝本為土、終則歸之、

且欲示其豐富之榮於矜恤之器、備以獲榮者、

然彼歸其歷代之祖、永不見光兮、人居尊位、而不通達、猶死亡之畜兮、

爾衝人若大水、彼如寢寐、如朝生之草兮、晨則萌芽滋長、夕則芟刈枯槁兮、我儕因爾怒而消亡、緣爾忿而驚惶兮、我之罪愆、爾陳之於目前、我之隱惡、爾顯之於容光兮、我之時日、度於爾怒、畢我歲月、如歎息之發兮、我之年數、乃為七旬、如其強健、可至八旬、然其所誇、祇為憂苦、其逝迅速、我去如飛兮、孰識爾怒之勢、孰依畏爾之道、而知爾忿乎、求爾教我計己之日、俾獲慧心兮、

我惟獲罪於爾、行爾所惡、致爾出詞顯公義、行鞫顯清正兮、

但此輩乃無知之物、生性如畜、為人所執而屠者、謗讟其所不知、將於所敗者而見敗、

由婦所生之人、時日短促、憂苦充盈、其出如花、而遭翦伐、如影之馳、不得停留、若是者、爾豈啟目視之、俾我受鞫乎、孰能出潔者於不潔、無一能之、

爾實置之於險地、委之於沉淪兮、猝然荒寂、因威烈而滅沒兮、

況污穢可憎、飲惡如水之人乎、

彼如羣羊、定其歸於陰府、死亡為其牧者、迨及黎明、正人治之、彼之美麗、銷於陰府、無地以存兮、

爾欲廢我所擬、罪我以義己乎、

曰、非也、惟上帝誠、而人皆偽、如經云、俾爾於言見義、於鞫獲勝、

人居尊位、不能久長、猶死亡之畜兮、

蓋曰、世人如草、其榮如花、草枯花謝、
