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

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。

太阳升起，它们就退回，到自己的巢穴里躺卧；

日頭一出，獸便躲避，臥在洞裏。

太陽一出，獸就躲避，躺臥在洞裏。

太陽一出，獸就躲避，躺臥在洞裏。

太陽升起，百獸便退回自己的洞窟中休息，

太陽升起的時候，牠們就躲避，回到自己的洞穴躺臥。

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.

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.

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

The animals go inside. They remain in their dens.

Your guards are like grasshoppers. Your officials are like swarms of locusts. They settle in the walls on a cold day. But when the sun appears, they fly away. And no one knows where they go.

“ Some people hate it when daylight comes. In the daytime they never walk outside.When daylight is gone, murderers get up. They kill poor people and those who are in need. In the night they sneak around like robbers.Those who commit adultery wait until the sun goes down. They think,‘ No one will see us.’ They keep their faces hidden.In the dark, thieves break into houses. But by day they shut themselves in. They don’t want anything to do with the light.Midnight is like morning to them. The terrors of darkness are their friends.

Everyone who does evil deeds hates the light. They will not come into the light. They are afraid that what they do will be seen.
