For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven: 

    大千世界中，萬物皆有時節，一切自有深意： 

    A time to be born and a time to die; 

    有誕生，也有死亡的時候。 

    A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted; 

    有種植也有采摘的時候。 

    A time to kill and a time to heal; 

    有傷害，也有治療的時候； 

    A time to break down and a time to build up; 

    有坍塌，也有修建的時候； 

    A time to weep and a time to laugh; 

    有哭泣，也有歡笑的時候； 

    A time to morn and a time to dance; 

    有悲痛，也有起舞的時候； 

    A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; 

    有爆發，也有涵納的時候； 

    A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; 

    有擁抱，也有逃避擁抱的時候； 

    A time to get and a time to lose; 

    有得到，也有失去的時候； 

    A time to keep and a time to cast away; 

    有保留，也有拋棄的時候； 

    A time to rend and a time to sew; 

    有撕碎，也有縫補的時候； 

    A time to keep silence and a time to speak; 

    有傾訴，也有沉默的時候； 

    A time to love and a time to hate; 

    有愛，也有恨的時候； 

    A time of war and a time of peace; 
    
    有戰爭，也有和平的時候；
