埃及首尾、椶枝蘆葦、無一事之可為、○

埃及中，无论是头与尾，棕枝与芦苇，所做之工都不成就。

在埃及，无论是头是尾，棕树枝与芦苇，所做的事都不得成就。

在埃及，无论是头是尾，棕树枝与芦苇，所做的事都不得成就。

埃及从首领到平民，从权贵到草根必一筹莫展。

无论是头或尾、棕枝或芦苇所作的，都不能为埃及成就什么事。

无论是头是尾，是棕枝是芦苇，都不能为埃及成就什么。

埃及中，無論是頭與尾，棕枝與蘆葦，所做之工都不成就。

在埃及，無論是頭是尾，棕樹枝與蘆葦，所做的事都不得成就。

在埃及，無論是頭是尾，棕樹枝與蘆葦，所做的事都不得成就。

埃及從首領到平民，從權貴到草根必一籌莫展。

無論是頭或尾、棕枝或蘆葦所作的，都不能為埃及成就甚麼事。

也沒有甚麼事、是任何人可為埃及作的，無論他是頭是尾，是棕枝是燈草。

無論是頭是尾，是棕枝是蘆葦，都不能為埃及成就什麼。

埃及人自尊逮卑、自國之棟梁、至民之微賤、皆無職事。

伊及人無論尊如首、卑若尾、貴重若㯶枝、輕賤若蘆葦、凡其所為、一無所成、

There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm branch or reed.

No one in Egypt can do anything to help them. Its elders and important leaders can’t help them. Its prophets and priests can’t do anything. Those who rule over others can’t help. And those who bow down to them can’t help either.

And there will be nothing for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.

There is nothing Egypt can do. All are helpless— the head and the tail, the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.

No head or tail, palm or reed, will be able to do anything for Egypt.

There will be no work for Egypt Which its head or tail, its palm branch or bulrush, may do.

Neither will there be any work for Egypt, Which the head or tail, Palm branch or bulrush, may do.

Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm- branch or rush, may do.

No head or tail, palm or reed, will be able to do anything for Egypt.

Neither shall there be[ any] work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

Egypt will not be able to do a thing, head or tail, shoots and stalk.

Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.

故一日之間、耶和華斷以色列之首尾、椶枝與蘆葦、長者尊者、首也、傳妄語之先知、尾也、

必食爾手勤勞所得、獲福而亨通兮、

我命旱乾臨於斯土山岡、穀酒與油、暨地所產、其人與畜、爰及爾手勞而得者、○

又恬靜是務、己事是圖、手自操作、一如我命、俾正爾行以向外人、致無匱乏、○

無花果雖不舒蕊、葡萄樹雖不結實、橄欖無所產、田畝不出糧、牢中絕羊、闌內無牛、

凡百勤勞皆獲利、脣舌多言惟致貧、
