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。

人若有一百个儿子，并且长寿，但心中却从未得到满足，死后又不得安葬。唉！这样的人还不如流产的胎儿。

人如果生下百子，活了许多岁数，年日长久，但是心里不因美物满足，又得不到安葬，我以为流产的胎比他还好。

人苟生百子、享壽高、歷年久、而心不得享福、身不獲安葬、我謂未盈期而生者、較彼尤愈、

If a man beget an hundred[ children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also[ that] he have no burial; I say,[ that] an untimely birth[ is] better than he.

Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years– even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity– even if he were to live forever– I would say,“ A stillborn child is better off than he is!”
