"He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man."

"If a person makes himself a beast, he gets rid of human pain" Pretty clear and accurate (haven't ever seen transitive 'soweli' before I think).
prob 'ni' (the whole sentence) rather than 'ona' in the last sentence.
'jan li kama soweli' means that he just became a beast, with no comment about how that happened (maybe Maria Ouspenskaya read his palm), whereas 'soweli e sama' says he did it himself to himself.
I am notriously not a fan of 'pilin ike' for pain, etc., but acknowledge that it is the msot common expression in the community. 'ike pilin' makes more sense.
'jan soweli' doesn't say that he is a beast, let alone that he made himself one; he might be an animal tame or even just a farmer. The rest works, though.
