The two seas are not the same. One is fresh, sweet, good to drink, while the other is salty and bitter. Yet from each you eat tender meat, and extract jewelry which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through them, so that you may seek of His bounty, so that you may give thanks.
و دو دريا يكسان و برابر نيستند: اين يك شيرين و خوشكام كه آشاميدنش گوارا است و آن ديگر شور و تلخ. و از هر يك گوشت تازه- ماهى- مى‌خوريد و پيرايه و زيورى- مرواريد- بيرون مى‌آريد كه مى‌پوشيد. و كشتيها را در آن مى‌بينى كه آب را مى‌شكافند تا از فزونى و بخشش او- روزى- بجوييد و باشد كه سپاس گزاريد.
