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；

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。

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

耶和華神又對亞當說：“因為你聽從了你妻子的話，吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那樹上的果子；地就必因你的緣故受咒詛；你必終生勞苦，才能從地裡得吃的。地要給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來；你也要吃田間的蔬菜；你必汗流滿面，才有飯吃，直到你歸回地土，因為你是從地土取出來的；你既然是塵土，就要歸回塵土。”

就給他起名叫挪亞，說：“這兒子必使我們從地上的操作和手中的勞苦得著安慰，因為耶和華曾經咒詛這地。”

傳道者說：虛空的虛空。虛空的虛空，一切都是虛空。

我們知道被造的萬物直到現在都一同在痛苦呻吟。

甚至母鹿在田野生產了小鹿，也得把牠丟棄，因為沒有青草。野驢站在光禿的高岡上，像野狗喘著氣；牠們雙目發呆，因為沒有青草。”

這地悲哀，田野的青草都枯乾，要等到幾時呢？由於這地居民的惡行，走獸和飛鳥都滅絕了；因為他們說：“神看不見我們的結局。”

神對挪亞說：“在我面前全人類的盡頭已經來到，因為地上由於他們的緣故滿了強暴。看哪，我要把他們和世界一起毀滅。

他們使地荒涼，在我面前一片荒涼悲哀；全地荒涼，卻無人關心。”

牲畜發出哀鳴，牛群到處流蕩，因為沒有草場給牠們，羊群也同樣受苦。

大地被其上的居民玷污，因為他們犯了律法，違了律例，背了永遠的約。因此，大地被咒詛吞滅，地上的居民要承擔懲罰。因此，地上的居民被焚燒，剩下的人很少。

因此，這地必悲哀，地上所有的居民、田野的走獸、空中的飛鳥都必衰微、枯萎，連海裡的魚也要滅亡。

強盜的帳幕興旺，惹神發怒的安穩，神的手賞賜他們。你且問走獸，走獸必指教你，又問空中的飛鳥，飛鳥必告訴你；或向地說話，地必指教你，海中的魚也必向你說明。從這一切看來，誰不知道，是耶和華的手作成這事的呢？活物的生命與全人類的氣息，都在耶和華的手中。
