竊思有年者當先言、以道指示。

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。」

自謂歷日多者、當講論、享年永者、當以智誨人、

以為年老者當辯論、壽高者必以智慧訓人、

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.’

皓然白首、尚行仁義、猶顯榮之冠冕。

智與年而俱進、慧與壽以並增。

以色列王所羅門、大闢之子也、所著箴言、訓人以智、迪人以理、得明至道、得秉公義、使拙者明徹、少者通達。

爾學之久矣、當自為師、但今需我復教爾上帝道小學之始、譬之孩提、猶需乳哺、無事肉食、

我生無幾日、如影靡定、知識未擴、所貴乎博稽古昔、取法前人、

爾小子聽之、我將以畏耶和華之道示爾兮。欲享遐齡、納多福。
