For Everything There is a Season
from Ecclesiastes
For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to 1)pluck up that which has planted;
A time to kill and a time to 2)heal;
A time to break down and a time to build up;
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to morn and a time to dance;
A time to 3)cast away stones and a time to gather stones together;
A time to 4)embrace and a time to 5)refrain from embracing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
A time to keep and a time to cast away;
A time to 6)rend 1 and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence and a time to speak;
A time to love and a time to hate;
A time of war and a time of peace.
万物有时节
大千世界中,万物有时节,一切自有深意:
有诞生,也有死亡的时候;
有种植,也有采摘的时候;
有杀伤,也有治疗的时候;
有坍塌,也有修建的时候;
有哭泣,也有欢笑的时候;
有悲恸,也有起舞的时候;
有投掷石块,也有收集石块的时候;
有拥抱,也有不拥抱的时候;
有收获,也有失去的时候;
有保留,也有抛弃的时候;
有撕碎,也有缝补的时候;
有沉默,也有发言的时候;
有爱,也有恨的时候;
有战争,也有和平的时候。
