    A time to kill and a time to heal; 

    有傷害，也有治療的時候； 

    A time to break down and a time to build up;

    A time to weep and a time to laugh; 

    有哭泣，也有歡笑的時候； 

    A time to morn and a time to dance; 

    有悲痛，也有起舞的時候； 

    A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together; 

    有爆發(fā)，也有涵納的時候； 

    A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; 

    有擁抱，也有逃避擁抱的時候； 

    A time to get and a time to lose;
