太陽升起的時候，牠們就躲避，回到自己的洞穴躺臥。

日头一出，兽便躲避，卧在洞里。

太阳一出，兽就躲避，躺卧在洞里。

太阳一出，兽就躲避，躺卧在洞里。

太阳升起，百兽便退回自己的洞窟中休息，

太阳升起的时候，它们就躲避，回到自己的洞穴躺卧。

太陽升起，百獸便退回自己的洞窟中休息，

日頭一出，獸便躲避，偃臥於洞窟中。

太陽升起，牠們就退回，到自己的巢穴裡躺臥；

日出獸藏、偃臥於穴兮、

日出獸藏、匿身巢穴兮、

日一出、獸皆藏匿、潛伏洞穴、

東方既白。遄返其窟。

The sun rises, and they steal away; they return and lie down in their dens.

The sun rises, and they slip away. They return to their dens and lie down.

When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.

At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.

The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises they withdraw, And they lie down in their dens.

When the sun rises, they gather together And lie down in their dens.

The sun ariseth, they get them away, And lay them down in their dens.

The sun rises; they go back and lie down in their dens.

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens.

野獸進入洞中，留在穴裡。

你的領袖多如蝗蟲，你的軍長像一群群的螞蚱；天涼的時候，停留在籬笆上；太陽一出，就都飛走了；沒有人知道牠們在甚麼地方。

又有人與光為敵，不認識光明的道，不留在光明的路中。殺人的黎明起來，殺戮困苦人與窮人，夜間又去作盜賊。姦夫的眼睛等待黃昏，說：‘沒有眼可以看見我’，就把自己的臉蒙起來。盜賊黑夜挖穿屋子，白天卻躲藏起來，他們不想認識光明。他們看晨光如死蔭，因為他們認識死蔭的驚駭。

凡作惡的都恨光，不來接近光，免得他的惡行暴露出來。
