不然，我早已躺下安息，

不然，我就早已躺卧安睡，

不然，我现在已躺卧安睡，而且，早已长眠安息；

不然，我现在已躺卧安睡，而且，早已长眠安息；

不然我早已安然躺卧、长眠安息，

不然，我就早已躺臥安睡，

不然，我現在已躺臥安睡，而且，早已長眠安息；

不然，我現在已躺臥安睡，而且，早已長眠安息；

不然我早已安然躺臥、長眠安息，

不然，我早已躺下安息，

不然、我就早已躺臥而靜寂，早已長眠而安息，

非然者、則已宴然而臥、安然而寢、

浸假當時無生、我今可宴然安寢、

若非如此、則久已偃臥安逸、長眠寧靜、

For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest

If all of that hadn’t happened, I would be lying down in peace. I’d be asleep and at rest in the grave.

For then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,

Had I died at birth, I would now be at peace. I would be asleep and at rest.

Now I would certainly be lying down in peace; I would be asleep. Then I would be at rest

For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

Now I would certainly be lying down in peace; I would be asleep. Then I would be at rest

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

For now I would be lying down and would be quiet, I would be asleep and then at peace

For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,

我若等待阴间作我的家，在黑暗中铺张我的床榻；

有人到死的时候仍然气力充足，享尽平静与安逸；

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。因为这胎虚虚而来，暗暗而去，黑暗把他的名字遮蔽了。这胎既看不见天日，又一无所知，就比那人更得安息。

看我的，他的眼再也看不到我，你的眼要看我，我已经不在了。云彩怎样消散逝去，照样，人下阴间也不再上来。他不再回自己的家，故乡再也不认识他。

他们幸福度过他们的日子，一剎那间下阴间，毫无病痛。

我必见他在我身边，我要亲眼见他，并非外人，我的心肠在我里面渴想极了。

人死了，就化为乌有；人一气绝就不在了。海洋中的水消失，江河枯竭干涸，人也是这样一躺下去，就不再起来，直到天都没有了还不醒过来，也不能从睡眠中被唤醒。

凡是你手可作的，都当尽力去作；因为在你所要去的阴间里，既没有工作，又没有筹谋；没有知识，也没有智慧。

那地黑暗，如死荫的幽暗，毫无秩序，即使有光也像幽暗。”

你为什么不赦免我的过犯，除去我的罪孽呢？现在我快要躺卧在尘土中，那时你寻找我，我却不在了。”
