Though its roots grow old in the ground, And its stump dies in the dry soil,

其根虽然衰老在地里，干也死在土中，

树根若衰老在地里，树干也死在土中，

树根若衰老在地里，树干也死在土中，

虽然树根在土里衰老，树干在地里死去，

虽然树根衰老在地里，树干也枯死在土中，

其根雖然衰老在地裏，幹也死在土中，

樹根若衰老在地裏，樹幹也死在土中，

樹根若衰老在地裏，樹幹也死在土中，

雖然樹根在土裡衰老，樹幹在地裡死去，

雖然樹根衰老在地裡，樹幹也枯死在土中，

就使其根衰老於地裏，其樹𣎴子死於塵土中，

其根雖老於土、其榦亦槁於地、

其植於地也、根雖老、幹雖槁、

根雖老於地、幹雖槁於土、

Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil,

Its roots may grow old in the ground. Its stump may die in the soil.

Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stump die in the soil,

Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays,

If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump starts to die in the soil,

Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;

If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump starts to die in the soil,

Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

Although its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump begins to die in the soil,

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

Your dead will live; Their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, For your dew is as the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
