4. Formal Translation When I lie down, I say, “When will I arise, and when will the evening be over?” Then I am filled with tossings until dawn. |
4. Dynamic Translation When I go to bed, I think, “How long before I get up, when will this night finally end?” The hours drag on as I toss and turn until dawn. |
