Und nun, was verziehst du? Stehe auf und laß dich taufen und abwaschen deine Sünden und rufe an den Namen des HERRN!
Ahora pues, ¿por qué te detienes? Levántate, y bautízate, y lava tus pecados, invocando su nombre.
Ahora, ¿qué esperas? Levántate, bautízate y lava tus pecados, invocando su nombre”.
Et maintenant, que tardes-tu? Lève-toi, sois baptisé, et lavé de tes péchés, en invoquant le nom du Seigneur.
Ed ora, che indugi? levati, e sii battezzato, e lavato de’ tuoi peccati, invocando il nome del Signore.
E agora por que te deténs? Levanta-te, e batiza-te, e lava os teus pecados, invocando o nome do Senhor.
現在你為甚麼耽延呢?起來,受洗,求告他的名,洗去你的罪。』」
