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

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，我早已躺下安息，

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 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,

If I wait, the grave[ is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.

One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

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.For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known[ any thing]: this hath more rest than the other.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no[ more]: thine eyes[ are] upon me, and I[ am] not.[ As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no[ more].He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;[ though] my reins be consumed within me.

But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where[ is] he?[ As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens[ be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do[ it] with thy might; for[ there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

A land of darkness, as darkness[ itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and[ where] the light[ is] as darkness.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I[ shall] not[ be].
