Paulus aber sprach: Ich bin ein jüdischer Mann von Tarsus, ein Bürger einer namhaften Stadt in Zilizien. Ich bitte dich, erlaube mir, zu reden zu dem Volk.
Entonces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, ciudad no obscura de Cilicia: empero ruégote que me permitas que hable al pueblo.
Pablo respondió: «Soy judío de Tarso de Cilicia, ciudadano de una ciudad de importancia. Le ruego que me permita hablar al pueblo».
Je suis Juif, reprit Paul, de Tarse en Cilicie, citoyen d'une ville qui n'est pas sans importance. Permets-moi, je te prie, de parler au peuple.
E Paolo disse: Quant’è a me, io son uomo Giudeo, da Tarso, cittadino di quella non ignobile città di Cilicia; or io ti prego che tu mi permetta di parlare al popolo.
Mas Paulo lhe disse: Na verdade que sou um homem judeu, cidadão de Tarso, cidade não pouco célebre na Cilícia; rogo-te, porém, que me permitas falar ao povo.
