傳道書 12:1
- 7
Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"-
before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;
when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when people rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint;
when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
Remember him-before the silver cord is severed, and the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, and the wheel broken at the well,
and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
你趁著年幼、衰敗的日子尚未來到,就是你所說,我毫無喜樂的那些年日未曾臨近之先,當記念造你的主。
不要等到日頭、光明、月亮、星宿變為黑暗,雨後雲彩反回,
看守房屋的發顫,有力的屈身,推磨的稀少就止息,從窗戶往外看的都昏暗;
街門關閉,推磨的響聲微小,雀鳥一叫,人就起來,唱歌的女子也都衰微。
人怕高處,路上有驚慌,杏樹開花,蚱蜢成為重擔,人所願的也都廢掉;因為人歸他永遠的家,弔喪的在街上往來。
銀鍊折斷,金罐破裂,瓶子在泉旁損壞,水輪在井口破爛,
塵土仍歸於地,靈仍歸於賜靈的神。
