海闊憑魚躍，天高任鳥飛。
Let fishes jump in the sea so vast;
Let birds fly in the sky so high.
文章憎命達，魑魅喜人過。
Essays hate good fate;
Monsters like people’s faults.
日落江湖白，潮來天地青。
When the sun sets, the river and lake look white;
When the tide comes, the sky and earth is blue.
草枯鷹眼疾，雪盡馬蹄輕。
As grass withers, the eyesight of the eagle is sharp;
When snow melts, the hoofs of the horse feel light.
寒塘渡鶴影﹐冷月葬詩魂。
The shadow of a stork passing over the cold pond;
The soul of poetry buried under the chilly moon.

海闊憑魚躍，天高任鳥飛。
Let fishes jump in the sea so vast;
Let birds fly in the sky so high.
--> It sounds like whether they are let to jump or fly depends on your wish. What if you changed your mind and decided not to let them go free?
A modified version (with your words mostly retained):
In a sea so vast, fish can swim up and down freely
In a sky so high, birds can fly without boundaries
