我如曠野之鵜鶘、又如荒墟之鴟鴞、

我如同旷野的鹈鹕；我好像荒场的鸮鸟。

我如同旷野的鹈鹕，好像荒地的猫头鹰。

我如同旷野的鹈鹕，好像荒地的猫头鹰。

我就像旷野中的鸮鸟，又像废墟中的猫头鹰。

我像旷野的鹈鹕，又像废墟里的猫头鹰。

我像是旷野中的鹈鹕，又像废墟中的猫头鹰；

我如同曠野的鵜鶘；我好像荒場的鴞鳥。

我如同曠野的鵜鶘，好像荒地的貓頭鷹。

我如同曠野的鵜鶘，好像荒地的貓頭鷹。

我就像曠野中的鴞鳥，又像廢墟中的貓頭鷹。

我像曠野的鵜鶘，又像廢墟裡的貓頭鷹。

我好比曠野的叫梟，我如同荒場的鴟鴞。

我像是曠野中的鵜鶘，又像廢墟中的貓頭鷹；

我如曠野之鵜鶘、荒墟之鴟鴞兮、

余若鵜鶘、居彼曠野、余若鸕鶿、止於野水兮、

形容消瘦盡。長噓更短歎。

I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

I’m like a desert owl. I’m like an owl among destroyed buildings.

I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;

I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far off wilderness.

I am like an eagle owl, like a little owl among the ruins.

I resemble a pelican of the wilderness; I have become like an owl of the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.

I am like a desert owl, like an owl among the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

I am like an owl in the wilderness; I am like a screech owl among the ruins.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.
