Wer aber seinen Bruder haßt, der ist in der Finsternis und wandelt in der Finsternis und weiß nicht, wo er hingeht; denn die Finsternis hat seine Augen verblendet.
Mas el que aborrece a su hermano, está en tinieblas, y anda en tinieblas, y no sabe a donde va; porque las tinieblas le han cegado los ojos.
Pero el que odia a su hermano está en tinieblas y camina en tinieblas; no sabe adónde va, porque las tinieblas le han cegado los ojos.
Mais celui qui hait son frère est dans les ténèbres, il marche dans les ténèbres, et il ne sait où il va, parce que les ténèbres ont aveuglé ses yeux.
Ma chi odia il suo fratello è nelle tenebre, e cammina nelle tenebre, e non sa ove egli si vada; perciocchè le tenebre gli hanno accecati gli occhi
Mas aquele que odeia a seu irmão está em trevas, e anda em trevas, e não sabe para onde deva ir; porque as trevas lhe cegaram os olhos.
惟獨那恨弟兄的,是在黑暗裏,也在黑暗裏行走,不知道往哪裏去,因為黑暗使他的眼睛瞎了。
