埃及人自尊逮卑、自國之棟梁、至民之微賤、皆無職事。

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。

埃及首尾、椶枝蘆葦、無一事之可為、○

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、耶和華絕以色列族之眾、自尊逮卑、自喬木至於叢葦、靡不斬伐、具齒爵、其尊者也、為偽師、其卑者也、

勤勞而得食、獲福而亨通兮、

我使平原山岡、不沾膏澤、五穀酒油、及大地之所播而生、人畜之所勞而得者、俱必匱乏、

恬靜是務、己事是圖、躬自操作、一如我命、行所當行、以待會外之人、而己無匱乏、

雖無花果之蕊不舒、葡萄樹之實不結、橄欖不復生果、田畝不復產物、牢中無群羊、廄內無牛犢、

勤勞有益、多言致貧。
