與朽腐為鄰、與蚯蚓同處、奚啻父母姊妹、

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」，

謂墓為父、謂蟲為母、為姊、

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,’

以爾不遺我魂於陰府、不俾爾之恭人朽於黃土、

其逝世之易、如摧枯木、既歸槁壤、蚯蚓嘬之、即心腹之人、亦不之念、

不能壽世而體不朽兮、

又云、我昔施實惠與大闢、亦將施爾、蓋聞上帝甦耶穌、不至朽壞也、詩有云、爾必不俾爾聖者朽壞、蓋大闢生時、遵上帝旨、卒則與祖同朽、惟上帝所甦者不朽、○

以爾不遺我魂於陰府、不俾爾聖者朽壞、爾示我以生之道、使我於爾前喜甚、兄弟乎、容我明言、先祖大闢、死而葬、至今境內、其墓猶存、既為先知、即知上帝曾有誓言、由大闢裔、挺生基督以居其位、惟彼先知、故言基督復生也、則謂其魂不遺於陰府、其身不至于朽壞、

我膚已黑、我骨已焦。

我躬已朽、如肉之已腐、如衣之被蠹。

群送之墓、謹守其陵。封植甚美、前呵後衛者、不可勝計。

復生之理亦然、播能壞、甦不能壞、

要皆長眠黃土、蚯蚓盤其上。

時可壞者、加以不壞、死者、加以不死、壞者既加以不壞、死者既加以不死、則經所言、死無權而消滅、應矣、

爾素華靡、鼓琴作樂、今入窀穸、下有尺蠖、上有蚯蚓、

迨至膚敗肉消、克覲上帝、
