願世人得與天主辯論、如人與人辯論然、

愿人得与神辩白，如同人与朋友辩白一样；

愿人可与上帝理论，如同人与朋友一样；

愿人可与神理论，如同人与朋友一样；

但愿人与上帝之间有仲裁者，如同人与人之间。

但愿人可以为人与神分辩，正如世人为朋友辩白一样。

願人得與神辯白，如同人與朋友辯白一樣；

願人可與上帝理論，如同人與朋友一樣；

願人可與神理論，如同人與朋友一樣；

但願人與上帝之間有仲裁者，如同人與人之間。

但願人得以同上帝辯訴，就如同人跟朋友訴說一樣。

願上帝為人辨冤於其前、並在人之鄰里中、

願得在上帝前、明辨其冤、如與同儕言者然、

on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.

He makes his appeal to God to help me as a person pleads for a friend.

that he would argue the case of a man with God, as a son of man does with his neighbor.

I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.

I wish that someone might argue for a man with God just as anyone would for a friend.

That one might plead for a man with God As a son of man with his neighbor!

Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor!

That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!

I wish that someone might arbitrate between a man and God just as a man pleads for his friend.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man[ pleadeth] for his neighbour!

and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.

that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

世人如地上瓦礫中之瓦片、欲與造之之主爭、禍必及之、泥豈能謂陶人曰、爾何為乎、被製之物豈能對製者曰、非經爾手、非經爾手或作爾無手也

若天主不復加譴責於我、不再使我驚懼、則我敢與之辯論、無所畏懼、今則不得如此、

但我欲與全能天主言、在天主前分訴辨白、

主又語約百曰、好辯者、欲與全能之主爭乎、與天主辯者、今可答之、約百答主曰、我甚輕賤、何以答主、惟以手掩口、我已言之一而再、不敢復言復答、

此我自辯之辭、願有聽之者、願全能之主答我、訟我者任其書我罪狀、

我則曰、爾何人、敢詰問天主乎、受造之物、豈能對造者云、何造我若此乎、

惟願知何以尋主、何以得詣其位前、以我冤抑、呈於其前、極口辨白、則我知其所以答我之言、可聽其何所言於我、主豈以大能與我爭乎、非也、反必眷顧我、在其前、義者得與之辯論、則可永脫於罪我之人、

如此、主呼我、我則對、或我陳言、主則垂聽、

凡生於世者、名已先定、皆知是人耳、或作世人如何早已命定不能與力大於己者爭、
