Denn wir sind nicht klugen Fabeln gefolgt, da wir euch kundgetan haben die Kraft und Zukunft unsers HERRN Jesus Christus; sondern wir haben seine Herrlichkeit selber gesehen,
Porque no os hemos dado a conocer la potencia y la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, siguiendo fábulas por arte compuestas; sino como habiendo con nuestros propios ojos visto su majestad.
Ce n'est pas, en effet, en suivant des fables habilement conçues, que nous vous avons fait connaître la puissance et l'avènement de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, mais c'est comme ayant vu sa majesté de nos propres yeux.
Poichè non vi abbiamo data a conoscer la potenza e l’avvenimento del Signor nostro Gesù Cristo, andando dietro a favole artificiosamente composte; ma essendo stati spettatori della maestà di esso.
Porque não vos fizemos saber a virtude e a vinda de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, seguindo fábulas artificialmente compostas; mas nós mesmos vimos a sua majestade.
我們從前把我們主耶穌基督的大能和他來臨的事告訴你們,並不是隨從一些捏造出來的無稽傳說,我們是曾經親眼見過他的威榮的人。
