因为被造的万物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意这样，而是由于使它屈服的那一位；

因为受造之物服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享上帝儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物屈服在虚空之下，不是自己愿意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望从败坏的辖制下得释放，得享神儿女荣耀的自由。

因为受造之物处在虚空之下并非出于情愿，而是出于上帝的旨意。

因为被造之物屈从在虚妄之下，并不是出于自愿，而是出于使它屈从的那一位；

因為受造之物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，乃是因那叫他如此的。

因為受造之物屈服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望從敗壞的轄制下得釋放，得享上帝兒女榮耀的自由。

因為受造之物屈服在虛空之下，不是自己願意，而是因那使它屈服的叫他如此。但受造之物仍然指望從敗壞的轄制下得釋放，得享神兒女榮耀的自由。

因為受造之物處在虛空之下並非出於情願，而是出於上帝的旨意。

因為被造的萬物服在虛空之下，不是自己願意這樣，而是由於使它屈服的那一位；

被創造之物服在徒勞挫折之下、不是自願的，乃是因那叫它服在指望中者的旨意；

因為被造之物屈從在虛妄之下，並不是出於自願，而是出於使它屈從的那一位；

蓋受造之物服於虛、非其本願、因服之者之故耳、

萬物歸於虛、非其心、蓋有使之者、

萬物歸於虛、非其所願、乃有使之者、然仍有望、

夫芸芸眾生、迄今屈伏於無常之下、非出自願、有制之者耳。

For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope

The created world was held back from fulfilling its purpose. But this was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the one who held it back. God planned

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope

For the creation was subjected to futility— not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it— in the hope

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected[ the same] in hope,

For the creation was subjected to futility– not willingly but because of God who subjected it– in hope

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

耶和华神又对亚当说：“因为你听从了你妻子的话，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子；地就必因你的缘故受咒诅；你必终生劳苦，才能从地里得吃的。地要给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来；你也要吃田间的蔬菜；你必汗流满面，才有饭吃，直到你归回地土，因为你是从地土取出来的；你既然是尘土，就要归回尘土。”

就给他起名叫挪亚，说：“这儿子必使我们从地上的操作和手中的劳苦得着安慰，因为耶和华曾经咒诅这地。”

传道者说：虚空的虚空。虚空的虚空，一切都是虚空。

我们知道被造的万物直到现在都一同在痛苦呻吟。

甚至母鹿在田野生产了小鹿，也得把它丢弃，因为没有青草。野驴站在光秃的高冈上，像野狗喘着气；它们双目发呆，因为没有青草。”

这地悲哀，田野的青草都枯干，要等到几时呢？由于这地居民的恶行，走兽和飞鸟都灭绝了；因为他们说：“神看不见我们的结局。”

神对挪亚说：“在我面前全人类的尽头已经来到，因为地上由于他们的缘故满了强暴。看哪，我要把他们和世界一起毁灭。

他们使地荒凉，在我面前一片荒凉悲哀；全地荒凉，却无人关心。”

牲畜发出哀鸣，牛群到处流荡，因为没有草场给它们，羊群也同样受苦。

大地被其上的居民玷污，因为他们犯了律法，违了律例，背了永远的约。因此，大地被咒诅吞灭，地上的居民要承担惩罚。因此，地上的居民被焚烧，剩下的人很少。

因此，这地必悲哀，地上所有的居民、田野的走兽、空中的飞鸟都必衰微、枯萎，连海里的鱼也要灭亡。

强盗的帐幕兴旺，惹神发怒的安稳，神的手赏赐他们。你且问走兽，走兽必指教你，又问空中的飞鸟，飞鸟必告诉你；或向地说话，地必指教你，海中的鱼也必向你说明。从这一切看来，谁不知道，是耶和华的手作成这事的呢？活物的生命与全人类的气息，都在耶和华的手中。
