As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as a hireling that looketh for his wages:

像奴仆切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工价；

像奴仆切慕阴凉，像雇工等待工钱，

像奴仆切慕阴凉，像雇工等待工钱，

他像切望阴凉的奴隶，又如盼望报酬的雇工。

正如仆人切慕暮影，又像雇工盼望工价。

像奴僕切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工價；

像奴僕切慕陰涼，像雇工等待工錢，

像奴僕切慕陰涼，像雇工等待工錢，

他像切望陰涼的奴隸，又如盼望報酬的雇工。

正如僕人切慕暮影，又像雇工盼望工價。

正像奴僕喘息渴慕着暮影，像雇工人直等着工資；

奴冀昏暮、傭望工值、

如僕之冀暮、如傭之望值、

奴慕涼陰、傭人望工值、

Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,

I’ve been like a slave who longs for the evening shadows to come. I’ve been like a hired worker who is waiting to be paid.

Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hired hand who looks for his wages,

like a worker who longs for the shade, like a servant waiting to be paid.

Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hired worker he waits for his pay.

As a slave pants for the shade, And as a hired worker who eagerly waits for his wages,

Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,

Like a slave he longs for shade; like a hired man he waits for his pay.

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for[ the reward of] his work:

Like a servant longing for the evening shadow, and like a hired man looking for his wages,

As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,

Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor rob him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

in his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it( for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it); lest he cry against thee unto Jehovah, and it be sin unto thee.

Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day declineth, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the sojourner from his right, and fear not me, saith Jehovah of hosts.

I spread forth my hands unto thee: My soul thirsteth after thee, as a weary land.[ Selah

I opened wide my mouth, and panted; For I longed for thy commandments.

Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
