我要開口說比喻，吐露古時的謎題，

我要开口说比喻；我要说出古时的谜语，

我要开口说比喻，我要解开古时的谜语，

我要开口说比喻，我要解开古时的谜语，

我要开口讲比喻，道出古时的奥秘，

我要开口说比喻，吐露古时的谜题，

我要開口說比喻；我要說出古時的謎語，

我要開口說比喻，我要解開古時的謎語，

我要開口說比喻，我要解開古時的謎語，

我要開口說箴言；我要傾吐古時的謎語，

我將啟口設譬、宣古秘語兮、

啟脣設譬。發古之蘊。

I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old—

I will open my mouth and tell a story. I will speak about things that were hidden. They happened a long time ago.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,

for I will speak to you in a parable. I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—

I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will tell riddles of old,

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

I will sing a song that imparts wisdom; I will make insightful observations about the past.

I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

耶穌用比喻向人群講了這一切；他向他們講話，沒有不用比喻的。這是為要應驗那藉著先知所說的話：「我要開口，用比喻說出創世以來被隱藏的事。」

我要側耳聽箴言，彈豎琴解開謎題。

使他們領悟箴言和比喻，領悟智慧人的話語和謎題。

耶穌回答他們，說：「天國的奧祕已經賜下來讓你們知道，而沒有賜給那些人；因為凡是有的，還要賜給他，使他豐足有餘；凡是沒有的，連他有的也將從他那裡被拿走。我之所以用比喻對他們說，是因為他們雖然看了，卻看不見；聽了，卻聽不進，也不領悟。

他向眾人講話，沒有不用比喻的。可是，他卻單獨給自己的門徒們解釋一切。
