And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

und bin mit dir gewesen, wo du hin gegangen bist, und habe deine Feinde ausgerottet vor dir und habe dir einen Namen gemacht, wie die Großen auf Erden Namen haben.
Y he sido contigo en todo cuanto has andado, y he talado a todos tus enemigos de delante de ti, y hete hecho grande nombre, como el nombre de los grandes que son en la tiera.
He estado contigo por dondequiera que has ido y he eliminado de delante de ti a todos tus enemigos. Te haré un nombre como el de los grandes de la tierra.
j'ai été avec toi partout où tu as marché, j'ai exterminé tous tes ennemis devant toi, et j'ai rendu ton nom semblable au nom des grands qui sont sur la terre;
e sono stato teco dovunque tu sei camminato, ed ho distrutti tutti i tuoi nemici d’innanzi a te; e t’ho acquistato un nome pari al nome de’ più grandi che sieno in terra.
E estive contigo por toda a parte, por onde foste, e de diante de ti exterminei todos os teus inimigos, e te fiz um nome como o nome dos grandes que estão na terra,
你無論往哪裏去,我都與你同在,剪除你所有的仇敵。我必使你得大名,好像世上偉人的名一樣。
