詎天主謂之曰：「愚人、今夕欲索爾魂、爾之所備、將誰歸乎？」

神却对他说：‘无知的人哪，今夜必要你的灵魂；你所预备的要归谁呢？’

上帝却对他说：‘无知的人哪！今夜就要你的性命，你所预备的要归谁呢？’

神却对他说：‘无知的人哪！今夜就要你的性命，你所预备的要归谁呢？’

但上帝对他说，‘无知的人啊，今晚就要取走你的命！你所预备的一切留给谁享用呢？’”

神却对他说：‘无知的人哪，今天晚上，你的灵魂必被取去，你所预备的要归给谁呢？’

“可是神对他说：‘你这愚妄的人哪！今夜，他们就要召回你的灵魂了。那么，你所预备的要归谁呢？’

神卻對他說：『無知的人哪，今夜必要你的靈魂；你所預備的要歸誰呢？』

上帝卻對他說：『無知的人哪！今夜就要你的性命，你所預備的要歸誰呢？』

神卻對他說：『無知的人哪！今夜就要你的性命，你所預備的要歸誰呢？』

但上帝對他說，『無知的人啊！今晚就要取走你的命！你所預備的一切留給誰享用呢？』」

神卻對他說：‘無知的人哪，今天晚上，你的靈魂必被取去，你所預備的要歸給誰呢？’

但上帝卻對他說：「糊塗人哪，就在今天夜裏，你的財物就要要你的命了！你所豫備的、要歸誰呢？」

「可是神對他說：『你這愚妄的人哪！今夜，他們就要召回你的靈魂了。那麼，你所預備的要歸誰呢？』

惟上帝謂之曰、無知者乎、今夜將索爾靈、則所備者誰歸、

上帝曰、無知者乎、今夜將索爾魂、則所備者誰歸、

惟天主謂之曰、愚者乎、今夜將索爾靈、則所備者歸於誰、

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

“ But God said to him,‘ You foolish man! Tonight I will take your life away from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

But God said to him,‘ Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared— whose will they be?’

But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your soul is demanded of you; and as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’

But God said to him,‘ Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you. And the things you have prepared— whose will they be?’

But God said unto him,[ Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life will be demanded back from you, but who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

“ But God said to him,‘ You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared— whose will they be?’

人無百年好。花無百日香。

蓋吾人生不帶來、死不帶去、

無知之人乎、夫彼創造外物者、非即創造內心者乎？

無何、丐死、天神送諸亞伯漢懷中。富翁亦死、葬後慘受地獄之苦、偶舉目遙見亞伯漢、與其懷中之辣柴魯、

獨愛惡而憎善兮。處卑汚而為高。黑與白其相混兮。是與非其相淆。泛邪說以溺眾兮。逞狡獝而逍遙。誰知天網恢恢兮。將滅爾以終古。逐爾於家室之外兮。除爾於永生之圃。

富人不足畏。但能潤其屋。潤屋亦何益。空手歸寂寞。一生圖安樂。人謂善求福。

然而明日之事、固非爾所能逆知也。盍一思之、爾之生命、果為何物？人生在世、實如雲煙過眼、瞬息即杳。

既食且飽。貪欲未寢。

倘有不肖之僕、私揣其主稽遲、因肆意毆撻其侶、且與酒徒恣食縱飲；則於不期之日、不意之時、其主突然而臨、必加以極刑、與虛偽之徒同科；將有哀哭切齒者焉。』

人方曰：「平安無虞、」而倏忽之間、大難已臨其身、正如臨蓐之婦、欲避分娩之苦、未由也已。

灼灼何足恃。彈指歸寂寞。
