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

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、

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,

If the only home I hope for is the grave, if I spread out my bed in the realm of darkness,

One person dies in full vigor, completely secure and at ease,

A man may have a hundred children and live many years; yet no matter how long he lives, if he cannot enjoy his prosperity and does not receive proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man—

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.

They spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace.

I myself will see him with my own eyes— I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

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.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

to the land of deepest night, of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”

Why do you not pardon my offenses and forgive my sins? For I will soon lie down in the dust; you will search for me, but I will be no more.”
