They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

我的日子过去如快船，如急落抓食的鹰。

我的日子如蒲草船掠过，如鹰俯冲抓食。

我的日子如蒲草船掠过，如鹰俯冲抓食。

我的岁月疾驰如快船，快如急降抓食的老鹰。

我的日子消逝有如快船，好像俯冲猛扑食物的鹰。

我的日子過去如快船，如急落抓食的鷹。

我的日子如蒲草船掠過，如鷹俯衝抓食。

我的日子如蒲草船掠過，如鷹俯衝抓食。

我的歲月疾馳如快船，快如急降抓食的老鷹。

我的日子消逝有如快船，好像俯衝猛撲食物的鷹。

它一掠而去，同蒲快艇一樣；如急落攫食的兀鷹。

日過如扁舟、又如疾下攫物之鷹、

日去如扁舟、勢若巨鷹之摶擊。

我日已逝、速如扁舟、又如鵰鷹、飛以攫物、

They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

They speed along like papyrus boats. They are like eagles swooping down on their food.

They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.

It disappears like a swift papyrus boat, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

They sweep by like boats made of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.

They sweep by like boats made of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle[ that] hasteth to the prey.

They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.

Their horses are faster than leopards, And quicker than wolves in the evening. Their horsemen charge along, Their horsemen come from afar; They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.

Which sends messengers by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.

Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They chased us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.

Is it at your command that the eagle flies high, And makes his nest on high?He dwells and spends his nights on the cliff, On the rocky cliff, an inaccessible place.From there he tracks food; His eyes look at it from afar.His young ones also lick up blood greedily; And where the slain are, there he is.”

Saul and Jonathan, beloved and delightful in life, And in their deaths they were not separated; They were swifter than eagles, They were mightier than lions.

When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

“ Behold, he goes up like clouds, And his chariots like the whirlwind; His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!”
