- "The LORD possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old.
- "From everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of the earth.
- "When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs abounding with water.
- "Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills I was brought forth;
- While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor the first dust of the world.

- 主が 昔そのわざをなし 始められるとき, そのわざの 初めとして, わたしを 造られた.
- いにしえ, 地のなかった 時, 初めに, わたしは 立てられた.
- まだ 海もなく, また 大いなる 水の 泉もなかった 時, わたしはすでに 生れ,
- 山もまだ 定められず, 丘もまだなかった 時, わたしはすでに 生れた.
- すなわち 神がまだ 地をも 野をも, 地のちりのもとをも 造られなかった 時である.

- "When He established the heavens, I was there, When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
- When He made firm the skies above, When the springs of the deep became fixed,
- When He set for the sea its boundary So that the water would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of the earth;
- Then I was beside Him, as a master workman; And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him,
- Rejoicing in the world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men.

- 彼が 天を 造り, 海のおもてに, 大空を 張られたとき, わたしはそこにあった.
- 彼が 上に 空を 堅く 立たせ, 淵の 泉をつよく 定め,
- 海にその 限界をたて, 水にその 岸を 越えないようにし, また 地の 基を 定められたとき,
- わたしは, そのかたわらにあって, 名匠となり, 日¿に 喜び, 常にその 前に 樂しみ,
- その 地で 樂しみ, また 世の 人を 喜んだ.
