彼望死不得、掘地求之、甚於求寶藏、

他们切望死，却不得死；求死，胜于求隐藏的珍宝。

他们等死，却不得死；求死，胜于求隐藏的珍宝。

他们等死，却不得死；求死，胜于求隐藏的珍宝。

他们等候死亡却等不到，他们求死胜于求宝藏。

他们想死却死不了，找死胜于找宝藏；

他們切望死，卻不得死；求死，勝於求隱藏的珍寶。

他們等死，卻不得死；求死，勝於求隱藏的珍寶。

他們等死，卻不得死；求死，勝於求隱藏的珍寶。

他們等候死亡卻等不到，他們求死勝於求寶藏。

他們想死卻死不了，找死勝於找寶藏；

為甚麼給切望着「死」而不得死的人？給挖地尋「死」、勝於尋求藏寶的人呢？

彼望死亡而不能、猶人掘窖金而弗得。

若此之人、盼死不得、求死甚於珍寶、

to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,

Why is life given to those who long for death that doesn’t come? Why is it given to those who would rather search for death than for hidden treasure?

who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

They long for death, and it won’t come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure.

who wait for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasure,

Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;

Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;

who wait for death, but it does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasure,

Which long for death, but it[ cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

to those who wait for death that does not come, and search for it more than for hidden treasures,

Who long for death, but it doesn’t come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

斯時也、人將求死弗得、欲死而死避之、

尋之如銀、索之如寶、

如蒙爾恩、與其待我若此、毋寧殺我、免我遭諸困苦、○

獨行曠野一日之程、坐於羅騰樹下、祈死曰、耶和華歟、已矣、望取我命、蓋我不愈於我列祖也、

日出時、上帝備東風、其氣炎酷、日暴約拿之首、使之昏迷、則求死曰、我之死、猶愈於生焉、

耶和華歟、今求爾索我命、以我之死、猶愈於生、
