For we were born but yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow.

我们不过从昨日才有，一无所知；我们在世的日子好像影儿。

我们不过从昨日才有，一无所知，因我们在世的日子好像影子。

我们不过从昨日才有，一无所知，因我们在世的日子好像影子。

因为我们就像昨天才出生，一无所知，我们在世的日子如同掠影。

我们只是昨天才有的，所以一无所知；我们在世的日子不过是影儿。

我們不過從昨日才有，一無所知；我們在世的日子好像影兒。

我們不過從昨日才有，一無所知，因我們在世的日子好像影子。

我們不過從昨日才有，一無所知，因我們在世的日子好像影子。

因為我們就像昨天才出生，一無所知，我們在世的日子如同掠影。

我們只是昨天才有的，所以一無所知；我們在世的日子不過是影兒。

因為我們只是昨日才有的，一無所知；因為我在世的日子只是個影兒。）

我儕自昨日始有、毫無所知、我儕在世之日、猶如虛影、

for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.

After all, we were born only yesterday. So we don’t know anything. Our days on this earth are like a shadow that disappears.

For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.

since we were born only yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are but a shadow.

For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.

For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.

( For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

since we were born only yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are but a shadow.

( For we[ are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth[ are] a shadow:)

For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

( For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.)

We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, gone so soon without a trace.

For they are like a breath of air; their days are like a passing shadow.

We blossom like a flower and then wither. Like a passing shadow, we quickly disappear.

“ My days fly faster than a weaver’s shuttle. They end without hope.

My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass.

Jacob replied,“ I have traveled this earth for 130 hard years. But my life has been short compared to the lives of my ancestors.”

You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Interlude

For you, a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.
