2. Formal Translation Everything happens alike for everyone: one event comes to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the pure, to the impure, to the one who sacrifices and to the one who does not sacrifice; as the good, so the sinner; the one who swears a vow is like the one who fears an oath. |
2. Dynamic Translation All share a common destiny: it comes to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the pure, to the impure, to those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. The good fare no better than the sinner; one who makes a vow is like one who fears taking one. |
