before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死荫之地以先。

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死荫之地以先。

我很快就一去不返，进入幽冥黑暗之地。

在去而不返之前，可以喜乐片刻；

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死蔭之地以先。

就是在我去而不返，往黑暗和死蔭之地以先。

我很快就一去不返，進入幽冥黑暗之地。

在去而不返之前，可以喜樂片刻；

在往而不返之先，往黑暗死蔭之地以先，稍有喜色。

在我往而不返之先、未至幽冥陰翳之地、

然後長往不返、至幽暗陰翳之地。

在我往而不返之先、使我稍得安息、我所將往之處、乃幽暗死陰之地、

Turn away before I go to the place I can’t return from. It’s the land of gloom and total darkness.

before I go— and I shall not return— to the land of darkness and deep shadow,

before I leave— never to return— for the land of darkness and utter gloom.

before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.

Before I go— and I shall not return— To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

Before I go whence I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

before I go to a land of darkness and gloom, never to return.

Before I go[ whence] I shall not return,[ even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,

before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

But a man dies and is laid low; he breathes his last and is no more.As the water of a lake dries up or a riverbed becomes parched and dry,so he lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, people will not awake or be roused from their sleep.“ If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed! If only you would set me a time and then remember me!If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come.

The eye that now sees me will see me no longer; you will look for me, but I will be no more.As a cloud vanishes and is gone, so one who goes down to the grave does not return.He will never come to his house again; his place will know him no more.

For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest

Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.
