7:1

πότερον οὐχὶ πειρατήριόν ἐστιν ὁ βίος ἀνθρώπου ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ ὥσπερ μισθίου αὐθημερινοῦ ἡ ζωὴ αὐτοῦ

“Isn’t a man forced to labor on earth? Aren’t his days like the days of a hired hand?

人在世上豈無爭戰嗎？他的日子不像雇工人的日子嗎？

7:2

ἢ ὥσπερ θεράπων δεδοικὼς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ τετευχὼς σκιᾶς ἢ ὥσπερ μισθωτὸς ἀναμένων τὸν μισθὸν αὐτοῦ

As a servant who earnestly desires the shadow, as a hireling who looks for his wages,

像奴僕切慕黑影，像雇工人盼望工價；

7:3

οὕτως κἀγὼ ὑπέμεινα μῆνας κενούς νύκτες δὲ ὀδυνῶν δεδομέναι μοί εἰσιν

so I am made to possess months of misery, wearisome nights are appointed to me.

我也照樣經過困苦的日月，夜間的疲乏為我而定。

7:4

ἐὰν κοιμηθῶ λέγω πότε ἡμέρα ὡς δ’ ἂν ἀναστῶ πάλιν πότε ἑσπέρα πλήρης δὲ γίνομαι ὀδυνῶν ἀπὸ ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωί

When I lie down, I say, ‘When will I arise, and the night be gone?’ I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.

我躺臥的時候便說：我何時起來，黑夜就過去呢？我盡是反來覆去，直到天亮。

7:5

φύρεται δέ μου τὸ σῶμα ἐν σαπρίᾳ σκωλήκων τήκω δὲ βώλακας γῆς ἀπὸ ἰχῶρος ξύων

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust. My skin closes up, and breaks out afresh.

我的肉體以蟲子和塵土為衣；我的皮膚才收了口又重新破裂。

7:6

ὁ δὲ βίος μού ἐστιν ἐλαφρότερος λαλιᾶς ἀπόλωλεν δὲ ἐν κενῇ ἐλπίδι

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

我的日子比梭更快，都消耗在無指望之中。

7:7

μνήσθητι οὖν ὅτι πνεῦμά μου ἡ ζωὴ καὶ οὐκέτι ἐπανελεύσεται ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἰδεῖν ἀγαθόν

Oh remember that my life is a breath. My eye will no more see good.

求你想念，我的生命不過是一口氣；我的眼睛必不再見福樂。

7:8

οὐ περιβλέψεταί με ὀφθαλμὸς ὁρῶντός με οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἐν ἐμοί καὶ οὐκέτι εἰμὶ

The eye of him who sees me will see me no more. Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

觀看我的人，他的眼必不再見我；你的眼目要看我，我卻不在了。

7:9

ὥσπερ νέφος ἀποκαθαρθὲν ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ ἐὰν γὰρ ἄνθρωπος καταβῇ εἰς ᾅδην οὐκέτι μὴ ἀναβῇ

As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away, so he who goes down to Sheol will come up no more.

雲彩消散而過；照樣，人下陰間也不再上來。
