曰、耶和華兮、以我身之終、在世之日、指示於我、俾知生命之靡常兮、

人之生也、其數有定、其限難越、爾使之然、姑舍我、俾得息肩、樂終天年、猶傭之喜於入息。

願上帝藏我於墓寢、否則處我於隱僻、以俟災消禍弭、又不然、定以何日、然後釋我。人既死亡、豈能復生、我生苦境、必有終年、乃逝世。

爾當復入告希西家、爾祖大闢之上帝耶和華云、我聞爾祈禱、見爾出涕、將錫爾十五齡、

鳥有翼以高飛、人有過而召禍、

天國猶家主、朝出僱工入葡萄園、與工約、日金一錢、遣之入園、辰盡出、見有閒立於市者、謂之曰、爾亦往葡萄園、所宜給者、我與爾、其人遂往、日中、及未終、又出、行亦如之、申盡出、復見有閒立者、謂之曰、爾何終日閒立於此乎、曰、無僱我者、曰、爾亦往葡萄園、所宜給者、爾可得之、及暮、園主語操會者曰、呼工、給以傭值、由後以次及先、申盡至者、各受金一錢、先至者、意所受必加多、乃亦受金一錢、受之、則怨家主曰、我當暑、終日任勞、後至者、僅片時工作、乃使之與我等乎、園主謂其人曰、友、我未嘗不公待爾、爾非與我約金一錢乎、取爾之值而往、我欲予後至者、猶予爾然、以我之物、行我所欲、不亦宜乎、我為善、爾怒目何也、

主諭我曰、未及一載、基達之榮悉廢、若傭之有定期、

僕既事爾六年、則值倍於傭人、故釋之時、毋以為難、如是爾上帝耶和華、於凡所為、必錫嘏於爾。○

鬻時與禧年相去、當互為核算、揆其期之遠近、酌傭人之值幾何、以償贖價之多寡、

必以善言慰耶路撒冷人、告之云、爾居苦境、已終其年、爾罪赦宥、耶和華以恩寵錫爾、較昔降災、其數維倍。
