你不知亙古以來，自從地上有人以來，

你岂不知亘古以来，自从人生在地，

你岂不知道吗？亘古以来，自从人被安置在地，

你岂不知道吗？亘古以来，自从人被安置在地，

难道你不知道，从古至今，自从世上有人以来，

你不知亘古以来，自从地上有人以来，

你豈不知亙古以來，自從人生在地，

你豈不知道嗎？亙古以來，自從人被安置在地，

你豈不知道嗎？亙古以來，自從人被安置在地，

難道你不知道，從古至今，自從世上有人以來，

豈不知、亙古以來、自從有人在地上、

爾豈不知伊古以來、置人於世、

豈不聞自生民以來、有古語焉。

豈不知自亙古、自有人在世以來、作惡者歡呼不長、偽善者喜樂不過俄頃、

“ Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind was placed on the earth,

“ I’m sure you must know how things have always been. They’ve been that way ever since human beings were placed on this earth.

Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed on earth,

“ Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time, ever since people were first placed on the earth,

Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time a human was placed on earth,

Do you know this from ancient times, From the establishment of mankind on earth,

“ Do you not know this of old, Since man was placed on earth,

Knowest thou not this of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,

Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time man was placed on earth,

Knowest thou[ not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

“ Surely you know that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed on the earth,

Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

我心裡想：‘年長的當先說話，壽高的當以智慧教訓人。’

請你查問前幾代，留意他們列祖所查究的。我們只是昨天才有的，所以一無所知；我們在世的日子不過是影兒。

神賜福給挪亞和他的兒子，對他們說：“你們要繁衍增多，充滿大地。地上各樣的走獸，空中各樣的飛鳥，甚至地上各樣爬行的動物，和海裡各樣的魚類，都要對你們驚恐懼怕；這一切都已經交在你們手裡了。所有活著的動物都可以作你們的食物，我把這一切都賜給你們，好像我把青菜賜給了你們一樣。

神就賜福給他們，對他們說：“要繁衍增多，充滿這地，征服它；也要管理海裡的魚、空中的鳥和地上所有走動的生物。”

天屬於耶和華，地，他卻賜給了世人。

我們中間有白頭髮的，又有年紀老的，年歲比你的父親還大。
