然而，耶和華說，『正如我決不廢棄我所定的晝夜交替和天地運行之律，

耶和华如此说：‘若是我立白日黑夜的约不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，

耶和华如此说：除非我没有立白日黑夜之约，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

耶和华如此说：除非我没有立白日黑夜之约，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

然而，耶和华说，‘正如我决不废弃我所定的昼夜交替和天地运行之律，

耶和华这样说：‘我若没有设立白昼和黑夜的约，或立定天地的定律，

耶和華如此說：若是我立白日黑夜的約不能存住，若是我未曾安排天地的定例，

耶和華如此說：除非我沒有立白日黑夜之約，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

耶和華如此說：除非我沒有立白日黑夜之約，也未曾安排天和地的定例，

耶和華這樣說：‘我若沒有設立白晝和黑夜的約，或立定天地的定律，

但永恆主這麼說：我若沒有跟黑夜白晝立我的約，我若沒有立定天地的定律，

耶和華曰、如我所立晝夜之約可廢、如我未定天地之例、

惟我曰、我與晝夜立約、必不爽之、我定天地之例、必不廢之、

主如是云、我所立晝夜之約、所定天地之例、

This is what the Lord says:‘ If I have not made my covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth,

I say,‘ What if I had not made my covenant with day and night? What if I had not established the laws of heaven and earth?

Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth,

But this is what the Lord says: I would no more reject my people than I would change my laws that govern night and day, earth and sky.

This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,

This is what the Lord says:‘ If My covenant for day and night does not continue, and I have not established the fixed patterns of heaven and earth,

“ Thus says the Lord:‘ If My covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,

Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night stand not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

This is what the Lord says: If I do not keep My covenant with the day and with the night and fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,

Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant[ be] not with day and night,[ and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

But I, the LORD, make the following promise: I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth.

Yahweh says:“ If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;

白晝和黑夜都屬於你，你設立了日月。你劃定大地的疆界，又創造了盛夏和寒冬。

你命月亮定節令，使太陽自知西沉。

使陽光白天照耀、星月晚上發光、大海波濤洶湧的萬軍之耶和華說：「只要天地之律還在，以色列邦國必永續不斷。這是耶和華說的。」

「這是耶和華說的，『除非你們能廢除我與白晝黑夜所立的約，叫白晝黑夜不再按時更替，

只要大地尚存，播種收割、夏熱冬寒、白晝黑夜必永不停息。」

「我要跟你們和你們的後代，以及所有和你們在一起、從方舟出來的飛禽走獸和牲畜等各種動物立約。我與你們立約，不再叫洪水淹沒一切生靈，也不再讓洪水毀滅大地。」上帝說：「我與你們及各種生靈立世代永存的約，我要給這個約一個記號。我把彩虹放在雲中，作為我跟大地立約的記號。我使雲彩覆蓋大地的時候，會有彩虹在雲中出現。這樣我會記得我與你們及一切生靈所立的約，水就不會再氾濫淹滅所有生靈。當我看見彩虹在雲中出現的時候，就會記得我與地上一切生靈立的永約。」上帝對挪亞說：「彩虹是我與地上一切生靈立約的記號。」
