又思世人行事、上帝察之、欲人知異於禽獸者幾希。

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」；

言及世人、我心自謂、上帝欲試之、使知其與獸無異、

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.

余愚蠢無知、無異禽獸兮。

人固有一死、既死有鞫之事、

謂亞當曰、既聽婦言、食我所禁之樹、故土緣爾見詛、爾畢生鬱伊、食其所產。土將叢生荊棘、汝所食者、惟田之蔬、必汗流浹面、庶可餬口、逮歸於所出之土而後已。汝身乃土、死則返其本焉。

而以大榮示我儕蒙召者、

必返其本、不見光明。人爵雖顯、智慧不具、其亡也無異禽獸兮。

人之沒世、譬諸夢寐、譬諸草之萌櫱兮、清晨向榮、芽發蕊舒、至夕翦刈、遂槁枯兮、爾震怒、則余毀傷兮、爾發憤、則予驚惶兮、余有罪愆、爾癉之兮、余有隱慝、爾相之兮、爾怒奮揚、余壽俱亡、歲月易過、恍若中心之轉念兮、人生歲數、無過七十、如體壯健、可冀八旬、雖以遐齡自詡、而已晚景之彌艱、生命將絕、如鳥高飛、倏忽不見兮、孰知爾怒震烈、而敬乎其所當敬兮、余生於世、為日無多、祈爾指示、致志於道兮、

我蹈愆尤、獲罪於爾、即責予、爾亦稱義、即鞫予、爾亦為善兮。

禽獸無知、為人獲而屠、偽師如之、訕謗其所不知、必受惡報而沉淪、

人乃婦女誕育、既不永年、且多憂慮。若花之向榮、而遭翦伐、若影之倏忽、而無定在。人既如是、爾何必過於追求、鞫其是非哉。未有源濁而流清者。

維彼惡人、雨置諸險滑之途、擲諸死亡之地兮、猝然喪敗、殲滅殆盡、

況世人作惡、如渴飲水、是誠污衊、實可厭棄。

瘟滅若羊、蚯蚓嘬兮、彼在塚中、形骸喪兮、至於異日、義人勝之兮、

爾豈可廢棄我命、自以為義、而以不義之名委我。

曰、非也、上帝真、億兆偽、如經云、主言時稱義、鞫時獲勝、

人爵雖顯、不得永存、猶禽獸之速亡兮。

經云、世人惟草、其榮如花、草枯花謝、
