1. O man entrusted with youth
And the exuberance of the elder when he is exuberant

2. Do good for yourself before your death
And work, for there is no way to immortality

3. Indeed the fate descends upon you in pursuit
And death is the dissolution of a transitory stay

4. There must come a day for every long-lived one
In which the duration of his life is completed

5. And people are sent on to a term for them
A generation passes for them, and a generation is born
