I assume you meant you have 4 life left and being dealt 34 combat damage?

You will get -30 life. The next damage(s) will be dealt as poison counters.

This is what I think.

Nailed it! Here's the ruling from Gatherer:

6/1/2011   Phyrexian Unlife won't affect damage that reduces your life total from a positive number to 0 or less. For example, if you're at 3 life and are dealt 5 damage, you'll end up at -2 life. The next time you're dealt damage, it will be dealt as though its source had infect.
