und er sprach: Merkt auf, ganz Juda und ihr Einwohner zu Jerusalem und du, König Josaphat! So spricht der HERR zu euch: Ihr sollt euch nicht fürchten noch zagen vor diesem großen Haufen; denn ihr streitet nicht, sondern Gott.
Y dijo: Oíd, Judá todo, y vosotros moradores de Jerusalem, y tú, rey Josaphat. Jehová os dice así: No temáis ni os amedrentéis delante de esta tan grande multitud; porque no es vuestra la guerra, sino de Dios.
Et Jachaziel dit: Soyez attentifs, tout Juda et habitants de Jérusalem, et toi, roi Josaphat! Ainsi vous parle l'Eternel: Ne craignez point et ne vous effrayez point devant cette multitude nombreuse, car ce ne sera pas vous qui combattrez, ce sera Dieu.
ed egli disse: Voi tutti uomini di Giuda, ed abitanti di Gerusalemme, e tu re Giosafat, attendete: Così vi dice il Signore: Voi, non temiate, e non vi spaventate, per questa gran moltitudine; perciocchè questa guerra non appartiene a voi, anzi a Dio.
E disse: Dai ouvidos todo o Judá, e vós, moradores de Jerusalém, e tu, ó rei Jeosafá; assim o SENHOR vos diz: Não temais, nem vos assusteis por causa desta grande multidão; pois a peleja não é vossa, mas de Deus.
