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

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,

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

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

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 defraud thy neighbour, neither rob[ him]: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.

At 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 the LORD, 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 goeth away, 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 false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in[ his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger[ from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul[ thirsteth] after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
