Men go out of life and enter into death.
The parts (proportions) of life are three in ten, the parts of death are also three in ten. Men that from birth move towards the region of death are also three in ten. Why is it so? Because of their redundant effort in seeking to live. But only those who do nothing for the purpose of living are better than those who prize their lives. For I have heard that he who knows well how to conserve life, when travelling on land, does not meet the rhinoceros or the tiger; when going to a battle, he is not attacked by arms and weapons. The rhinoceros can find nowhere to drive his horn; the tiger can find nowhere to put his claws; the weapons can find nowhere to thrust their blades. Why is it so? Because he is far beyond the region of death.
- Chinese :
《道德經》: 出生入死。生之徒,十有三;死之徒,十有三;人之生,動之死地,十有三。夫何故?以其生,生之厚。蓋聞善攝生者,陸行不遇兕虎,入軍不被甲兵;兕無所投其角,虎無所措其爪,兵無所容其刃。夫何故?以其無死地。
《老子河上公章句·貴生》: 出生入死。生之徒十有三,死之徒死十有三,人之生,動之死地十有三。夫何故,以其求生之厚。蓋以聞善攝生者,路行不遇兕虎,入軍不披甲兵,兕無投其角,虎無所措爪,兵無所容其刃。夫何故,以其無死地。
《馬王堆·老子甲德經》: □生□□□□□□有□□□徒,十有三;而民生生,動皆之死地之十有三。夫何故也?以其生生也。蓋□□執生者,陵行不□矢虎,入軍不被甲兵;矢無所投其角,虎無所昔其蚤,兵無所容□□。□何故也?以其無死地焉。
《馬王堆·老子乙德經》: □生入死。生之□□□□□之徒,十又三;而民生生,僮皆之死地之十有三。□何故也?以其生生。蓋聞善執生者,陵行不辟兕虎,入軍不被兵;革兕無□□□□□□□□其蚤兵□□□□□□□□也?以其無□□□。 (Ⅰ) - He Shanggong (English) :
To step out into life means to enter death. The companions of life are thirteen. The companions of death are thirteen. Of deadly spots in the man striving for life there are also thirteen. Now for what reason? By his living the fulness of life. For I heard: who well nourishes life, when walking on land does not meet rhinoceroses or tigers. When going to war he does not avoid the weapons. The rhinoceros has no place where to insert its horn. The tiger has no place where to thrust in its claws. The weapon has no place where to infix its blade. Now for what reason? Because he does not subvert the thirteen deadly spots. It is said that if the spirits (Ⅱ) - He Shanggong (Chinese) :
出生入死。生之徒十有三,死之徒死十有三,人之生,動之死地十有三。夫何故,以其求生之厚。蓋以聞善攝生者,路行不遇兕虎,入軍不披甲兵,兕無投其角,虎無所措爪,兵無所容其刃。夫何故,以其無死地。 (Ⅲ) - Wing-Tsit Chan (1963) :
Man comes in to life and goes out to death.
Three out of ten are companions of life. Three out of ten are companions of death. And three out of ten in their lives lead from activity to death. And for what reason? Because of man's intensive striving after life.
I have heard that one who is a good preserver of his life will not meet tigers or wild buffaloes, And in fighting will not try to escape from weapons of war.
The wild buffalo cannot butt its horns against him, The tiger cannot fasten its claws in him, And weapons of war cannot thrust their blades into him. And for what reason? Because in him there is no room for death. (Ⅳ) - Ellen Marie Chen (1989) :
From coming out to life to going back to death:
Those companions (t'u) of life,
They are one-third (shih-yu-san);
Those companions of death,
They are one-third;
Those living but moving toward the place of death,
They are also one-third.
Why?
Because of the intense (hou) life-producing activity.
I have heard that one who knows how to nourish life,
On land meets no tigers or wild buffaloes,
In battle needs to wear no armors or weapons,
A wild buffalo has nowhere to butt its horns,
A tiger has nowhere to sink its claws,
A weapon has nowhere to enter its blade.
Why?
Because such a one has no place of death. (Ⅴ) - World by world translation :

Life and death co-exist in the same process.
The chance for life is thirty percent.
The chance for death is thirty percent.
The chance for death in the life's area is also thirty percent.
Why?
Because some live too actively for their lives.
It has been said that people good at living
Do not meet with tigers on land,
Or receive hits in battle.
Tigers can have no chance to apply their paws.
Weapons can have no chance to exert their edges.
Why?
Because people good at living have no chance of death. (Ⅶ) - Lynn (2004) :
We emerge into life, enter into death.
Three out of ten are adherents of life;
three out of ten are adherents of death;
and there are three out of ten whose way of life also leads them to death.
Why is this so?
It is due to placing too much emphasis on life.
For I have heard that one good at preserving life, when traveling by land, does not encounter the wild buffalo and, when entering the army, suffers no wound from weapons.
The wild water buffalo has no way to strike at him with horn, the tiger has no way to strike at him with claw, and weapons of war have no way to use point or edge against him.
Why is this so?
It is due to the fact that he stays free of the land of death. (Ⅷ)
