豈不知、亙古以來、自從有人在地上、

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，

你不知亙古以來，自從地上有人以來，

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,

我心裏說：「應當讓年老的說話；讓壽高的以智慧教訓人。」

『你請查問前代，注意他們列祖所考察的；（因為我們只是昨日才有的，一無所知；因為我在世的日子只是個影兒。）

上帝給挪亞和他的兒子祝福說：『要繁殖增多，充滿全地！地上的各樣走獸、空中的各樣飛鳥、以至於爬在地上的各樣動物和海裏各種魚、都要懼你們怕你們：牠們都是交在你們手中的。一切活的動物、都可以做你們的食物，正如我將菜蔬的青葉子都給了你們一樣。

上帝就給他們祝福說：『要繁殖增多，充滿全地，去征服它；也要管理海裏的魚、空中的飛鳥、和在地上行動的各樣活物。』

天是永恆主的天；地、他卻給了世人。

我們中間有白頭髮的，有年紀老的，歲數比你父親還大呢。
