我为何不像流产的胎儿被埋藏，如同未见光的婴孩？

或像隐而未现、不到期而落的胎，归于无有，如同未见光的婴孩。

我为何不像流产的胎儿被埋藏，如同未见光的婴孩？

为何我没有像未见天日就流产的婴儿一样消逝？

我为什么不像暗中流产的胎，未见天日的婴孩，归于无有呢？

或像隱而未現、不到期而落的胎，歸於無有，如同未見光的嬰孩。

我為何不像流產的胎兒被埋藏，如同未見光的嬰孩？

我為何不像流產的胎兒被埋藏，如同未見光的嬰孩？

為何我沒有像未見天日就流產的嬰兒一樣消逝？

我為甚麼不像暗中流產的胎，未見天日的嬰孩，歸於無有呢？

我為甚麼又不像流產而埋藏的胎、以歸於無？不像未見光的死產嬰呢？

或如未滿期之胎、未見光之嬰、

我願與胎未成人、產不及期者、胥歸無有、

何不如未成形而墮之胎、何不如甫產而死之嬰、甫產而死之嬰原文作未見光之嬰

Or why was I not hidden away in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?

Why wasn’t I buried like a baby who was born dead? Why wasn’t I buried like a child who never saw the light of day?

Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child, as infants who never see the light?

Why wasn’t I buried like a stillborn child, like a baby who never lives to see the light?

Or why was I not hidden like a miscarried child, like infants who never see daylight?

Or like a miscarriage which is hidden, I would not exist, As infants that never saw light.

Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.

Or why was I not hidden like a miscarried child, like infants who never see daylight?

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants[ which] never saw light.

Or why was I not buried like a stillborn infant, like infants who have never seen the light?

or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.

愿他们像蜗牛腐烂消失，又像妇人流掉的胎儿，未见天日。

最后也显给我看；我如同未到产期而生的人一般。

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。
