我俟之良久、皆默然無語、不復答一辭、

我岂因他们不说话，站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？

我岂因他们不说话，因他们站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？

我岂因他们不说话，因他们站住不再回答，仍旧等候呢？

难道他们不说话，站在那里无言以对，我就要等下去吗？

因为他们不说话，因为他们站着不再回应，我就等待吗？

我豈因他們不說話，站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？

我豈因他們不說話，因他們站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？

我豈因他們不說話，因他們站住不再回答，仍舊等候呢？

難道他們不說話，站在那裡無言以對，我就要等下去嗎？

因為他們不說話，因為他們站著不再回應，我就等待嗎？

他們不說話，站住不再回答，難道我還因而仍舊等候麼？

既皆緘默、靜立無言、則我猶復待乎、

俟之良久、默然無語、不能辨駁。

Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand there with no reply?

Do I have to keep on waiting, now that they are silent? They are just standing there with nothing to say.

And shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand there, and answer no more?

Should I continue to wait, now that you are silent? Must I also remain silent?

Should I continue to wait now that they are silent, now that they stand there and no longer answer?

Should I wait, because they are not speaking, Because they have stopped and no longer answer?

And I have waited, because they did not speak, Because they stood still and answered no more.

And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

Should I continue to wait now that they are silent, now that they stand there and no longer answer?

When I had waited,( for they spake not, but stood still,[ and] answered no more;)

And I have waited. But because they do not speak, because they stand there and answer no more,

Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?

斯時不善、有智者當緘默、或作故當時之智者必緘默因斯時不善也

所愛之兄弟、因此、爾各人當速於聽、緩於言、遲於怒、

愚人若默、亦視為智、閉口不言者、亦視為哲、

願爾緘口無言、若能如是、猶為有智、
