If a man beget an hundred[ children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also[ that] he have no burial; I say,[ that] an untimely birth[ is] better than he.

人若生一百个儿子，活许多岁数，以致他的年日甚多，心里却不得满享福乐，又不得埋葬；据我说，那不到期而落的胎比他倒好。

人若生一百个儿子，活许多岁数；他即使寿命很长，心里却不因福乐而满足，又不得埋葬；我说，那流掉的胎比他倒好。

人若生一百个儿子，活许多岁数；他即使寿命很长，心里却不因福乐而满足，又不得埋葬；我说，那流掉的胎比他倒好。

人若有一百个儿子，并且长寿，但心中却从未得到满足，死后又不得安葬。唉！这样的人还不如流产的胎儿。

人如果生下百子，活了许多岁数，年日长久，但是心里不因美物满足，又得不到安葬，我以为流产的胎比他还好。

如果有人生了一百个孩子，也活了许多岁月，虽然他的年日长久，心里却不因福份而满足，甚至自己得不到安葬，我就说：“流产的胎儿倒比他好！”

人若生一百個兒子，活許多歲數，以致他的年日甚多，心裏卻不得滿享福樂，又不得埋葬；據我說，那不到期而落的胎比他倒好。

人若生了一百個孩子，活了許多歲數，以致他的年日很多，但他心裏卻不得飽享福樂，他又不得適當的葬禮；我說流產胎比他還好。

如果有人生了一百個孩子，也活了許多歲月，雖然他的年日長久，心裡卻不因福份而滿足，甚至自己得不到安葬，我就說：「流產的胎兒倒比他好！」

人苟生百子、享壽高、歷年久、而心不得享福、身不獲安葬、我謂未盈期而生者、較彼尤愈、

人有百子、又獲遐齡、生不能享福、死不得善葬、以我觀之、胎未成人者、較彼愈美。

設人生百子、又享遐齡、在世之年日甚多、而不得享所有以為福、死後亦不得安葬、以我觀之、以我觀之原文作我則曰胎死者較彼尤美、

A man might have a hundred children. He might live a long time. But suppose he can’t enjoy his wealth. And suppose he isn’t buried in the proper way. Then it doesn’t matter how long he lives. I’m telling you that a baby that is born dead is better off than that man is.

A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives, if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that a stillborn child is better than he:

And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
