然今茲世代、吾將何以比之？譬諸童子坐於市井、而招其伴曰：

我可用什么比这世代呢？好像孩童坐在街市上招呼同伴，说：

“我该用什么来比这世代呢？这正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

“我该用什么来比这世代呢？这正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

“这个世代的人好像什么呢？他们好像一群在街上玩耍的儿童对别的孩子说，

“我要把这世代比作什么呢？它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心，呼叫别的小孩子，

“我要把这世代比做什么呢？它就好比孩子们坐在街市上呼叫别的孩子，

我可用甚麼比這世代呢？好像孩童坐在街市上招呼同伴，說：

「我該用甚麼來比這世代呢？這正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

「我該用甚麼來比這世代呢？這正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

「這個世代的人好像什麼呢？他們好像一群在街上玩耍的兒童對別的孩子說，

“我要把這世代比作甚麼呢？它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心，呼叫別的小孩子，

『至於這世代、我要用甚麼來比擬它呢？那就像小孩子坐在市場上呼叫別的小孩說：

「我要把這世代比做什麼呢？它就好比孩子們坐在街市上呼叫別的孩子，

斯世將何以喻之、譬童子坐於市、呼其侶、

斯世將何以比之、譬童子坐市井、呼其侶曰、

是世我何以譬之、譬諸童子坐於街市、呼其侶曰、

“ To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

“ What can I compare today’s people to? They are like children sitting in the markets and calling out to others. They say,

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,

“ To what can I compare this generation? It is like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,

“ To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to other children:

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call out to the other children,

“ But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows

“ To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

“ To what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

『夫斯代之人、予將何以擬之、彼亦何所似乎？譬諸童子坐於市井而相呼曰：「我吹笛、爾未舞！我悲歌、爾不哭！」蓋施洗如望之來也、不食餅、不飲酒、而爾則曰：『伊中魔矣！』人子之來也、食焉飲焉、而爾則曰：「盍視彼人、饕餮也、酒徒也、稅吏罪人之友也。」是惟智德之子、能識智德之蘊耳。』

耶穌復曰：『天主之國何似？吾將何以比之？

吾誠告爾、凡此諸端、咸將歸責於斯代矣。

嗟爾蝮種、本性既惡、言何能善。蓋有蘊於心、口則宣之。

我確語爾、斯代未逝、諸事必驗。

又曰：『天主國將何以比之、吾果何所取譬乎？
