20 “Never again will there be in it

an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not live out his years;

the one who dies at a hundred

will be thought a mere child;

the one who fails to reach a hundred

will be considered accursed.

20 No more shall there be in it

an infant who lives but a few days,

or an old man who does not fill out his days,

for the young man shall die a hundred years old,

and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.

20 “No longer will babies die when only a few days old.

No longer will adults die before they have lived a full life.

No longer will people be considered old at one hundred!

Only the cursed will die that young!

20 “No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,

Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;

For the child shall die one hundred years old,

But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.

20 There will never be a baby from that city

who lives only a few days.

And there will never be an older person

who doesn’t have a long life.

A person who lives a hundred years will be called young,

and a person who dies before he is a hundred will be thought of as a sinner.

20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.

20 There shall be no more thenceforth an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not completed his days; for the youth shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.

20 There will no longer be an infant who lives for only a few days 

or an old man who doesn’t live a long life. 

Whoever lives to be a hundred years old will be thought of as young. 

Whoever dies before he is a hundred years old will be cursed as a sinner. 

20 In her, a nursing infant will no longer live

only a few days,

or an old man not live out his days.

Indeed, the youth will die at a hundred years,

and the one who misses a hundred years will be cursed.

20 No more shall there be in it

an infant that lives but a few days,

or an old person who does not live out a lifetime;

for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth,

and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.

20 There will no longer be a nursing infant who lives only a few days,

or an old man who does not fill his days,

for the boy will die a hundred years old,

and the one who fails to reach a hundred years will be considered accursed.

20 “Babies in Jerusalem will no longer

live only a few days.

Old people will not fail

to live for a very long time.

Those who live to the age of 100

will be thought of as still being young when they die.

Those who die before they are 100

will be considered as having been under God’s curse.

20 “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days,

Or an old man who does not live out his days;

For the youth will die at the age of one hundred

And the one who does not reach the age of one hundred

Will be thought accursed.
