Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

Ihr seid schon satt geworden, ihr seid schon reich geworden, ihr herrschet ohne uns; und wollte Gott, ihr herrschtet, auf daß auch wir mit euch herrschen möchten!
Ya estáis hartos, ya estáis ricos, sin nosotros reináis; y ojalá reinéis, para que nosotros reinemos también juntamente con vosotros.
¡Ya están saciados! ¡Ya se han enriquecido! ¡Han comenzado a reinar sin nosotros! ¡Ojalá de veras reinaran, para que también nosotros reináramos con ustedes!
Déjà vous êtes rassasiés, déjà vous êtes riches, sans nous vous avez commencé à régner. Et puissiez-vous régner en effet, afin que nous aussi nous régnions avec vous!
Già siete saziati, già siete arricchiti, già siete divenuti re senza noi; e fosse pur così, che voi foste divenuti re, acciocchè noi ancora regnassimo con voi.
Já estais fartos! já estais ricos! sem nós reinais! e quisera reinásseis para que também nós viéssemos a reinar convosco!
你們已經飽足了,已經富足了,用不著我們,自己就作王了。我願意你們果真作王,讓我們也可以與你們一同作王!
