So habe ich nun ein Haus gebaut dir zur Wohnung, und einen Sitz, da du ewiglich wohnst.
Yo pues he edificado una casa de morada para ti, y una habitación en que mores para siempre.
Et moi, j'ai bâti une maison qui sera ta demeure, un lieu où tu résideras éternellement!
Dunque io ti ho edificata una Casa per abitacolo, ed una stanza per tua abitazione in perpetuo.
E eu te tenho edificado uma casa para morada, e um lugar para a tua eterna habitação.
我為你建了一座雄偉的殿宇, 作為你永遠居住的地方。」
