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

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.

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,

‘ You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning.

Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.

“ Prepare war against her; Arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe to us, for the day goes away, For the shadows of the evening are lengthening.

And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien— Because they do not fear Me,” Says the Lord of hosts.

I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

I opened my mouth and panted, For I longed for Your commandments.

Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.
