海水初生、如子出胎、其時我禁遏之、猶如閉門、

“海水冲出，如出胎胞，那时谁将它关闭呢？

“当海水冲出，如出母胎，谁用门将它关闭呢？

“当海水冲出，如出母胎，谁用门将它关闭呢？

“大海从母胎奔腾而出时，谁为它划定界限？

海水冲出如婴孩出母胎，那时谁用门把海水关闭呢？

海水衝出，如出胎胞，那時誰將它關閉呢？

「當海水衝出，如出母胎，誰用門將它關閉呢？

「當海水衝出，如出母胎，誰用門將它關閉呢？

「大海從母胎奔騰而出時，誰為它劃定界限？

海水沖出如嬰孩出母胎，那時誰用門把海水關閉呢？

『大海衝出，從胎裏出來時，誰早設門戶將海閉住呢？

海水洶湧、若出於胎、誰設門以閉之、

海水初生、孰堤防之、若閉其門、

“ Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,

“ Who created the ocean? Who caused it to be born?

“ Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,

“ Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb,

Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst from the womb,

“ Or who enclosed the sea with doors When it went out from the womb, bursting forth;

“ Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb;

Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;

Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst from the womb,

Or[ who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth,[ as if] it had issued out of the womb?

“ Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,

“ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,

天主曰、天下諸水、當滙一區、使現陸地、有如此也、

主曰、爾豈可不畏我、不戰慄於我前、我定沙為海界、水不得越、波浪奔騰、不能漲溢、洪濤洶湧、不能踰越、

為海定限、使水不越岸、並立大地之根基、

上至山岡、下至平原、流至主所限定之所、主定界限、使水不過、不復淹沒地面、

主將海水聚集如壘、以海洋為眾水之府庫、

為定界限、為設門楗、
