謂墓為父、謂蟲為母、為姊、

若对朽坏说：‘你是我的父’；对虫说：‘你是我的母亲姐妹’。

若对地府呼叫：‘你是我的父亲’，若对虫呼叫：‘你是我的母亲、姊妹’，

若对地府呼叫：‘你是我的父亲’，若对虫呼叫：‘你是我的母亲、姊妹’，

称坟墓为父亲，称蛆虫为母亲、姊妹，

我若对深坑说：‘你是我的父亲’，对虫说：‘你是我的母亲，我的姊妹’，

若對朽壞說：你是我的父；對蟲說：你是我的母親姊妹；

若對地府呼叫：『你是我的父親』，若對蟲呼叫：『你是我的母親、姊妹』，

若對地府呼叫：『你是我的父親』，若對蟲呼叫：『你是我的母親、姊妹』，

稱墳墓為父親，稱蛆蟲為母親、姊妹，

我若對深坑說：‘你是我的父親’，對蟲說：‘你是我的母親，我的姊妹’，

假使我對冥坑呼叫說：「你是我父親」，對蛆蟲說：「你是我母親，我姐妹」，

與朽腐為鄰、與蚯蚓同處、奚啻父母姊妹、

我若稱墓為父、稱蟲為母為姊、

if I say to corruption,‘ You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘ My mother’ or‘ My sister,’

Suppose I say to the grave,‘ You are like a father to me.’ And suppose I say to its worms,‘ You are like a mother or sister to me.’

if I say to the pit,‘ You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘ My mother,’ or‘ My sister,’

What if I call the grave my father, and the maggot my mother or my sister?

and say to corruption,“ You are my father,” and to the maggot,“ My mother” or“ My sister,”

If I call to the grave,‘ You are my father’; To the maggot,‘ my mother and my sister’;

If I say to corruption,‘ You are my father,’ And to the worm,‘ You are my mother and my sister,’

If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

and say to corruption: You are my father, and to the maggot: My mother or my sister,

I have said to corruption, Thou[ art] my father: to the worm,[ Thou art] my mother, and my sister.

If I cry to corruption,‘ You are my father,’ and to the worm,‘ My Mother,’ or‘ My sister,’

if I have said to corruption,‘ You are my father;’ to the worm,‘ My mother,’ and‘ My sister,’

蓋爾不遺我魂於陰府、不容爾之聖者腐朽兮、

其胎忘之、蛆蟲食而甘之、不復見憶、不義之人、如樹被折、

論其自死起之、不復朽壞、有云、我將以大衛聖而且實之恩賜爾、故詩又云、爾必不令爾聖者朽壞、夫大衛在其世、行上帝之旨、既寢、歸其列祖而朽壞、惟上帝所起者、不至朽壞也、

以爾不遺吾魂於陰府、不使爾聖者見腐、爾嘗示我以維生之路、將使我於爾前而樂甚、兄弟乎、我試以先祖大衛、侃侃語爾、彼死而葬、其墓存於我中、以迄今日、彼為先知、且知上帝曾以誓許之、將由其裔中立一人居其位、預見及此、而言基督之復起、故謂其不遺於陰府、其形軀亦不見腐、

我膚既黑而脫、我骨因熱而焦、

我如已腐之物、為蠹所壞之衣、

雖然、至終被舁於墓、人守其陵、彼以幽谷之塊為甘、先之往者無數、從其後者甚繁、

死者復起亦然、播於必朽、起於不朽、

要皆偃臥土中、為蛆所覆、

此必朽者將衣以不朽、必死者將衣以不死、必朽者既衣以不朽、必死者既衣以不死、所言死被消滅者、應矣、

爾之威勢琴音、墮於陰府、爾則下鋪以蛆、上被以蟲、

我膚敗後、尚於形軀之外、得覲上帝、
