太阳升起，百兽便退回自己的洞窟中休息，

日头一出，兽便躲避，卧在洞里。

太阳一出，兽就躲避，躺卧在洞里。

東方既白。遄返其窟。

The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down.

When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.

At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises they withdraw, And they lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens.

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

野兽躲进窝里，留在洞中。

你的臣仆像蝗虫，你的将领像成群的蚱蜢。它们寒日聚集在墙上，太阳一出来就飞走了，无人知道它们的行踪。

“有人与光明为敌，不认识光明之道，也不走光明之路。凶手黎明起来，杀害贫苦的人，夜晚又去做贼。奸夫的眼睛盼着黄昏，心想，‘没人会看见我’，并把脸蒙起来。盗贼夜间挖墙行窃，日间躲藏起来，不想认识光明。他们以昼作夜，熟知黑夜的恐怖。

作恶的人恨光，不肯接近光，恐怕他们的罪行暴露出来。
