And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

so wird man sagen: Darum daß sie den HERRN, ihrer Väter Gott, verlassen haben, der sie aus Ägyptenland geführt hat, und haben sich an andere Götter gehängt und sie angebetet und ihnen gedient, darum hat er all dies Unglück über sie gebracht.
Y se responderá: Por cuanto dejaron a Jehová Dios de sus padres, el cual los sacó de la tierra de Egipto, y han abrazado dioses ajenos, y los adoraron y sirvieron: por eso él ha traído todo este mal sobre ellos.
Et l'on répondra: Parce qu'ils ont abandonné l'Eternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, qui les a fait sortir du pays d'Egypte, parce qu'ils se sont attachés à d'autres dieux, se sont prosternés devant eux et les ont servis; voilà pourquoi il a fait venir sur eux tous ces maux.
E si dirà: Perciocchè hanno abbandonato il Signore Iddio de’ lor padri, il quale li trasse fuor del paese di Egitto, e si sono attenuti ad altri dii, e li hanno adorati, ed hanno lor servito: per ciò egli ha fatto venire sopra loro tutto questo male
E dirão: Porque deixaram ao SENHOR Deus de seus pais, que os tirou da terra do Egito, e se deram a outros deuses, e se prostraram a eles, e os serviram; por isso ele trouxe sobre eles todo este mal.
人必說:『因為此地的人離棄領他們祖先出 埃及 地的耶和華-他們的上帝,去親近別神,敬拜事奉它們,所以耶和華使這一切災禍臨到他們。』」
