“ Surely you know that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed on the earth,

你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地，

你岂不知道吗？亘古以来，自从人被安置在地，

你岂不知道吗？亘古以来，自从人被安置在地，

难道你不知道，从古至今，自从世上有人以来，

你不知亘古以来，自从地上有人以来，

你豈不知亙古以來，自從人生在地，

你豈不知道嗎？亙古以來，自從人被安置在地，

你豈不知道嗎？亙古以來，自從人被安置在地，

難道你不知道，從古至今，自從世上有人以來，

你不知亙古以來，自從地上有人以來，

豈不知、亙古以來、自從有人在地上、

爾豈不知伊古以來、置人於世、

豈不聞自生民以來、有古語焉。

豈不知自亙古、自有人在世以來、作惡者歡呼不長、偽善者喜樂不過俄頃、

“ Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind was placed on the earth,

“ I’m sure you must know how things have always been. They’ve been that way ever since human beings were placed on this earth.

Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed on earth,

“ Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,

Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time a human was placed on earth,

Do you know this from ancient times, From the establishment of mankind on earth,

“ Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,

Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,

Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time man was placed on earth,

Knowest thou[ not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

I said to myself,‘ Age should speak, and length of years should make wisdom known.’

“ For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them,“ Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.Every living creature of the earth and every bird of the sky will be terrified of you. Everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea are under your authority.You may eat any moving thing that lives. As I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

God blessed them and said to them,“ Be fruitful and multiply! Fill the earth and subdue it! Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the ground.”

The heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to mankind.

The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men far older than your father.
