English wording on the original原件所附英文

Give gladly when one is in need. Wait patiently when the door is not open. Praise the Lord even in the stormy days of life. Be a doer of God’s words after coming to senses.

Read the Chinese columns from right to left. The first line does not specify whose funds are lacking. The English printed on the artwork is an interpretive version: it adds the Lord, God’s words and “of life,” and changes a door slow to open into one not open. Its translator is not identified. The stylized red signature is preserved without guessing its individual letters. No date is visible. The title used here is descriptive. The handwritten 衛/衞 form is unclear, so the signature is transcribed with the standard 衛; the original handwriting remains visible in the image.中文由右至左直讀。首句未明言誰的囊中缺乏資財。原件英文屬意譯,加入主、神的話語及「人生」等字意,並將門開得遲寫成門尚未開;譯者未註明。紅色草寫簽名保留原貌,不推測每個字母。未見日期;此處標題為描述性命名。 手寫「衛/衞」字形未能確定,姓名以通行字「衛」錄出,影像保留原筆跡。

English wording on the original原件所附英文

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the lord" ( Joshua 24:15 )

The Chinese says “I will surely serve”; the original English says “we will serve.” The close translation retains the singular Chinese and renders 耶和華 as Jehovah. The printed English’s lowercase “lord” is unchanged; its translator or Bible version is not identified. No date is visible. The title used here is descriptive.中文作「我必定事奉」,原件英文則作「we will serve」。英文譯讀保留中文的單數,並將耶和華譯為 Jehovah。原件英文的小寫「lord」照錄,未註明譯者或聖經版本。未見日期;此處標題為描述性命名。
