自謂歷日多者、當講論、享年永者、當以智誨人、

我说，年老的当先说话；寿高的当以智慧教训人。

我说：‘年长的当先说话；寿高的当以智慧教导人。’

我说：‘年长的当先说话；寿高的当以智慧教导人。’

我想，前辈当先发言，长者当传授智慧。

我心里想：‘年长的当先说话，寿高的当以智慧教训人。’

我說，年老的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教訓人。

我說：『年長的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教導人。』

我說：『年長的當先說話；壽高的當以智慧教導人。』

我想，前輩當先發言，長者當傳授智慧。

我心裡想：‘年長的當先說話，壽高的當以智慧教訓人。’

我心裏說：「應當讓年老的說話；讓壽高的以智慧教訓人。」

竊思有年者當先言、以道指示。

以為年老者當辯論、壽高者必以智慧訓人、

I thought,‘ Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.’

I thought,‘ Those who are older should speak first. Those who have lived for many years should teach people how to be wise.’

I said,‘ Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’

I thought,‘ Those who are older should speak, for wisdom comes with age.’

I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom.

I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.

I said,‘ Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom.

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

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

I said,‘ Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

皓首為榮冕、行善道則獲之、

年老者有智慧、壽高者有聰明、

以色列王大衛子所羅門之箴言、使人知智與訓、辨悉哲言、受誨於處事之明智、及厥公義正直、使庸人得聰睿、少者得知識與精明、

蓋以時而論、爾當為師、然尚需人以上帝聖詔小學之始教導爾曹、且為需乳不需粒食者、

我為昨日之人、罔有知識、在世之日如影、請爾詢於前代、務厥祖所考驗、

小子歟、來聽之、我以寅畏耶和華之道訓爾兮、孰好生命、欲享遐齡、以納福祉、

其父所羅門存日、有侍其前之耆老、羅波安王與之議曰、汝有何謀、以答斯民、僉曰、今日爾若願為斯民之僕、而服事之、答以善言、彼必永為爾僕、惟王違棄耆老之謀、與侍其前、偕己同長之少者謀、
