不然，我现在已躺卧安睡，而且，早已长眠安息；

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 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,

我若盼望阴间为我的家，若下榻在黑暗中，

有人至死身体强壮，尽得平顺安逸；

人若生一百个儿子，活许多岁数；他即使寿命很长，心里却不因福乐而满足，又不得埋葬；我说，那流掉的胎比他倒好。因为这胎虚虚而来，暗暗而去，名字被黑暗遮蔽，而且没有见过天日，什么都不知道，这胎比那人倒享安息。

观看我的人，他的眼必不看见我；你的眼目投向我，我却不在了。云彩消散而去；照样，人下阴间也不再上来。他不再回自己的家，他自己的地方也不再认得他。

他们度日诸事亨通，在平安中下到阴间。

我自己要见他，亲眼要看他，并不像陌生人。我的心肠在我里面耗尽了！

但壮士一死就消逝了；人一气绝，他在何处呢？海中的水枯竭，江河消散干涸。人一躺下就不再起来，等到诸天没有了，仍不复醒，也不能从睡中唤醒。

凡你手所当做的事，要尽力去做；因为在你所必须去的阴间没有工作，没有谋算，没有知识，也没有智慧。

那是乌黑之地，犹如幽暗的死荫，毫无秩序；发出的光辉也像幽暗。”

为何不赦免我的过犯，除掉我的罪孽呢？我现今要躺卧在尘土中；你要切切寻找我，我却不在了。”
