Original text and translations

Latin text Nonne duodecim sunt horæ diei? Si quis ambulaverit in die, non offendit, quia lucem huius mundi videt: si autem ambulaverit in nocte, offendit, quia lux non est in eo.

English translation Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. (trans. Geneva Bible)
