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

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

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

If I hope for the grave to be my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,

“ One man dies in his full vigor, completely secure and prosperous,

Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years– even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity– even if he were to live forever– I would say,“ A stillborn child is better off than he is!”Though the stillborn child came into the world for no reason and departed into darkness, though its name is shrouded in darkness,though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man–

The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.As a cloud is dispersed and then disappears, so the one who goes down to the grave does not come up again.He returns no more to his house, nor does his place of residence know him any more.

They live out their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.

whom I will see for myself, and whom my own eyes will behold, and not another. My heart grows faint within me.

But man dies and is powerless; he expires– and where is he?As water disappears from the sea, or a river drains away and dries up,so man lies down and does not rise; until the heavens are no more, they will not awake nor arise from their sleep.

Whatever you find to do with your hands, do it with all your might, because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, the place where you will eventually go.

to the land of utter darkness, like the deepest darkness, and the deepest shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”

And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, and you will seek me diligently, but I will be gone.”
