And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

Then I announced that those who have already died are happier than those who are still alive.

And I thought the dead who are already dead more fortunate than the living who are still alive.

So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living.

So I commended the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive.

我遂惡生、因於日下經營、乃為煩惱、悉屬虛空、莫非捕風、

我何不墮胎而死、何不甫產而亡、胡為膝接我、乳哺我、非然者、則已宴然而臥、安然而寢、與為己重建邱墟之君相同在、或與有金、以銀充室之侯伯相偕、或如未滿期之胎、未見光之嬰、在彼兇暴者息騷擾、困憊者得康寧、囚者相安、不聞督迫之聲、尊卑同居、奴脫於主、○胡為賜光於受難者、賜生於苦心者、彼望死不得、掘地求之、甚於求寶藏、尋獲塚墓、則喜樂不勝、人為上帝所域、行徑迷茫、胡為錫之以光、我未食而先歎、呻吟之聲、有如水湧、所慮者臨我、所懼者及我、不得平康、不得安居、不得宴息、而難至焉、

得與生人並列、猶有望焉、蓋生之犬、愈於死之獅也、生者知必死、而死者無所知、不復獲賞、不見記憶、所好所惡所妒嫉、早已消亡、彼於日下所經營、永不與焉、○
