Как раб жаждет тени, и как наёмник ждёт окончания работы своей,
Like a slave longing for the evening shadows, or a hired laborer waiting to be paid,
Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hired hand who looks for his wages,
“As a slave who pants for the shade, And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages,
like a worker who longs for the shade, like a servant waiting to be paid.
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Like a servant who [a]earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages,
