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

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，

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 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,

I thought,‘ Those who are older should speak, for wisdom comes with age.’

“ Just ask the previous generation. Pay attention to the experience of our ancestors.For we were born but yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are as fleeting as a shadow.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them,“ Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.All the animals of the earth, all the birds of the sky, all the small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the fish in the sea will look on you with fear and terror. I have placed them in your power.I have given them to you for food, just as I have given you grain and vegetables.

Then God blessed them and said,“ Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity.

On our side are aged, gray haired men much older than your father!
