To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
凡事都有定期,天下万务都有定时。
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted
生有时,死有时。栽种有时,拔出所栽种的也有时。
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build
up
杀戮有时,医治有时。拆毁有时,建造有时。
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance
哭有时,笑有时。哀恸有时,跳舞有时。
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing
抛掷石头有时,堆聚石头有时。怀抱有时,不怀抱有时。
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away
寻找有时,失落有时。保守有时,舍弃有时。
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak
撕裂有时,缝补有时。静默有时,言语有时。
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace
喜爱有时,恨恶有时。争战有时,和好有时。
Ecclesiastes 传道书 3:1-8
