So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and
Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life,
Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and
Its purpose in the service of your people.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and
Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and
For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks,
The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing,
For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts
Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes
They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again
In a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

죽음이 두렵지 않은 인생을 살아라


남의 종교를 욕하지 말고


모두의 의견을 존중하며 너 또한 뚝심 있게 살거라


인생을 사랑하며 부끄럼 없이 살아라


세상 모든 것을 아름답게 만들어라


오래 살도록 노력하며 이웃을 돕고 살거라


죽음이 널 찾아 오더라도 그들처럼 두려워 말아라


인생을 후회하지 마라


조금만 더 살게 해달라며 추하게 굴지 말아라


죽음을 환영하거라 집으로 돌아가는 영웅처럼
