14:1

Homo natus de muliere, brevi vivens tempore, repletur multis miseriis.

“Man, who is born of a woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

人為婦人所生，日子短少，多有患難；

14:2

Qui quasi flos egreditur et conteritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eodem statu permanet.

He grows up like a flower, and is cut down. He also flees like a shadow, and doesn’t continue.

出來如花，又被割下，飛去如影，不能存留。

14:3

Et dignum ducis super hujuscemodi aperire oculos tuos, et adducere eum tecum in judicium ?

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

這樣的人你豈睜眼看他嗎？又叫我來受審嗎？

14:4

Quis potest facere mundum de immundo conceptum semine ? nonne tu qui solus es ?

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

誰能使潔淨之物出於污穢之中呢？無論誰也不能！

14:5

Breves dies hominis sunt : numerus mensium ejus apud te est : constituisti terminos ejus, qui praeteriri non poterunt.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his bounds that he can’t pass.

人的日子既然限定，他的月數在你那裏，你也派定他的界限，使他不能越過，

14:6

Recede paululum ab eo, ut quiescat, donec optata veniat, sicut mercenarii, dies ejus.

Look away from him, that he may rest, until he accomplishes, as a hireling, his day.

便求你轉眼不看他，使他得歇息，直等他像雇工人完畢他的日子。

14:7

Lignum habet spem : si praecisum fuerit, rursum virescit, et rami ejus pullulant.

“For there is hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, that the tender branch of it will not cease.

樹若被砍下，還可指望發芽，嫩枝生長不息；

14:8

Si senuerit in terra radix ejus, et in pulvere emortuus fuerit truncus illius,

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

其根雖然衰老在地裏，幹也死在土中，

14:9

ad odorem aquae germinabit, et faciet comam, quasi cum primum plantatum est.

yet through the scent of water it will bud, and sprout boughs like a plant.

及至得了水氣，還要發芽，又長枝條，像新栽的樹一樣。
