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

又對亞當說：「你既聽從你妻子的話，吃了那樹上所出的，就是我吩咐你不可吃的，土地必因你的緣故受詛咒；你必終生勞苦才能從土地得吃的。土地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來；你也要吃田間的五穀菜蔬。你必汗流滿面才有食物可吃，直到你歸了土地，因為你是從土地而出的。你本是塵土，仍要歸回塵土。」

給他起名叫挪亞，說：「在耶和華所詛咒的地上，這個兒子必使我們從工作和手中的勞苦得到安慰。」

傳道者說：虛空的虛空，虛空的虛空，全是虛空。

我們知道，一切受造之物一同呻吟，一同忍受陣痛，直到如今。

田野的母鹿因為無草也撇棄才生的小鹿。野驢站在光禿的高地喘氣，好像野狗；牠們的眼目因無草而失明。」

這地悲哀，一切田野的青草枯乾要到幾時呢？因其上居民的惡行，牲畜和飛鳥都滅絕了。因為他們說：「他看不見我們的結局。」

上帝對挪亞說：「在我面前，凡血肉之軀的結局已經臨到，因着他們，地上充滿了暴力。看哪，我要把他們和這地一起毀滅。

他們使地荒涼；地既荒涼，就向我哀哭。全地荒涼，卻無人在意。

牲畜哀鳴，牛羣混亂，因無草場，羊羣也受苦。

地被其上的居民所污穢，因為他們犯了律法，廢了律例，背了永約。所以，詛咒吞滅大地，住在其上的都有罪；地上的居民被火焚燒，剩下的人稀少。

因此，這地悲哀，其上的居民、野地的走獸、天空的飛鳥都日趨衰微，海中的魚也必消滅。

強盜的帳棚安寧，惹上帝發怒的人穩固，他們把上帝握在自己手中。「你問走獸，走獸必指教你；你問空中的飛鳥，飛鳥必告訴你；或者你與地說話，地必指教你；海中的魚也必向你說明。在這一切當中，有誰不知道這是耶和華的手做成的呢？凡動物的生命和人類的氣息都在他手中。
