For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven:
大千世界中,万物皆有时节,一切自有深意:
A time to be born and a time to die;
有诞生,也有死亡的时候。
A time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted;
有种植也有采摘的时候。
A time to kill and a time to heal;
有伤害,也有治疗的时候;
A time to break down and a time to build up;
有坍塌,也有修建的时候;
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
有哭泣,也有欢笑的时候;
A time to morn and a time to dance;
有悲痛,也有起舞的时候;
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together;
有爆发,也有涵纳的时候;
A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
有拥抱,也有逃避拥抱的时候;
A time to get and a time to lose;
有得到,也有失去的时候;
A time to keep and a time to cast away;
有保留,也有抛弃的时候;
A time to rend and a time to sew;
有撕碎,也有缝补的时候;
A time to keep silence and a time to speak;
有倾诉,也有沉默的时候;
A time to love and a time to hate;
有爱,也有恨的时候;
A time of war and a time of peace;
有战争,也有和平的时候。
