Omnia tempus habent

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG

Omnia tempus habent,
et suis spatiis transeunt universo sub coelo.
Tempus nascendi et tempus moriendi,
tempus plantandi et tempus evellendi quod plantatum est,
tempus occidendi et tempus sanandi,
tempus destruendi et tempus aedificandi,
tempus flendi et tempus ridendi,
tempus plangendi et tempus saltandi,
tempus spargendi lapides et tempus colligendi.
 
Tempus amplexandi et tempus longe fieri ab amplexibus,
tempus acquirendi et tempus perdendi,
tempus custodiendi et tempus abjiciendi,
Tempus scindendi, et tempus consuendi;
tempus tacendi, et tempus loquendi.
Tempus dilectionis, et tempus odii;
tempus belli, et tempus pacis.

All things have their time

Language: English after the Latin

All things have their time, 
and they flow in their own space under the whole heaven.
A time for being born and a time fordying,
A time for planting and a time for pulling up what was planted,
A time for killing and a time for healing,
A time for destroying and a time for building,
A time for crying and a time for laughing,
A time for grieving and a time for dancing,
A time for spreading stones out and a time for collecting them together,

A time for embracing and a time for being far from embraces,
A time for getting and a time for losing,
A time for keeping and a time for throwing away,
A time for tearing and a time for sewing,
A time for being silent and a time for speaking.
A time for loving and a time for hating,
A time for war and a time for peace.
