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

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

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 shall live; Together with my dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust; For your dew is like the dew of herbs, And the earth shall cast out the dead.

Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.
