惰者之田、愚者之葡萄園、我曾經歷、

我经过懒惰人的田地、无知人的葡萄园，

我经过懒惰人的田地，走过无知人的葡萄园，

我经过懒惰人的田地，走过无知人的葡萄园，

我走过懒惰人的田地和无知者的葡萄园，

我经过懒惰人的田地，无知人的葡萄园；

我经过懒惰人的田地，经过缺乏心智者的葡萄园；

我經過懶惰人的田地、無知人的葡萄園，

我經過懶惰人的田地，走過無知人的葡萄園，

我經過懶惰人的田地，走過無知人的葡萄園，

我走過懶惰人的田地和無知者的葡萄園，

我經過懶惰人的田地，無知人的葡萄園；

我經過懶惰人的田地，全無心思之人的葡萄園；

我經過懶惰人的田地，經過缺乏心智者的葡萄園；

怠惰者之田、無知者之葡萄園、我過之焉、

惰者之田、愚者之園、我嘗過焉、

I went past the field of a sluggard, past the vineyard of someone who has no sense;

I went past the field of someone who didn’t want to work. I went past the vineyard of someone who didn’t have any sense.

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

I walked by the field of a lazy person, the vineyard of one with no common sense.

I went by the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of one lacking sense.

I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense,

I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;

I went by the field of the sluggard, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

I went by the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking sense.

I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of one who lacks wisdom.

I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding:

以我觀之、耕惡種孽、所穫亦若是、

我有所示爾、爾其細聽、我欲述所見者、

此理我已詳察、知其為然、爾當聆之而忖思、

凡此我嘗見之、我專心詳觀日下所作之事、有時人轄人、致人受害、有時人轄人致人受害或作有時人轄人致自受害我又見惡人安葬入墓、行正直者反離聖地、為邑人所忘、此亦屬於虛、若罪已擬定、不即用刑、人則放膽行惡、

淫人妻者甚為無知、行此者必喪己命、

我自幼至老、未曾見善人被棄、子孫乞食、

怠惰者歟、爾往觀蟻之動作、可得智慧、彼無帥無督無長、猶知夏時備食、穡時斂糧、怠惰之人、爾偃息將至何時、爾寢臥何時方起、爾若且睡片時、再寢片時、又叉手偃臥片時、貧窮臨爾、速如行旅、缺乏及爾、迅如武士、匪類惡徒、一舉一動、口出妄言、以目斜挑、以足示意、以指指點、中心乖戾、恆謀不法、播散爭端、故災害勿臨之、倏然敗壞、無術可治、○主所惡者有六、並其心所厭者共有七、目驕傲、舌詭譎、手流無辜人之血、心籌惡謀、足趨惡道、言誑妄證、於兄弟中播散爭端、○

我復見日下多有冤屈、受屈者流淚、慰之者無人、虐之者勢大、慰之者無人、我讚嘆已死者較尚生者為幸、較此二者、未生於世、未見日下所作之惡事者更為幸、○我觀世人勞碌經營、皆緣彼此相妒、此亦屬於虛、皆如捕風、愚者束手無策、猶如自戕、猶如自戕原文作自食其身之肉財盈一手而得平安、勝於財盈二手而勞碌、猶如捕風、○我又見日下更有一虛浮之事、有人獨處無子、無兄弟、然亦勞碌不已、雖得多財、目中不以為足、亦不自問曰、我不自享所得、我勞碌究為誰耶、此亦屬於虛、徒勞無益、

耕己田者得飽食、從閑蕩人者乏慧心、

我在虛度之中、已見此諸事、又見善人雖善反夭亡、惡人雖惡反長壽、

明哲人之口有才智、無知者之背受仆責、

正直者見之歡喜、一切作惡者、不敢啟口、
