Aber auf daß es nicht weiter einreiße unter das Volk, lasset uns ernstlich sie bedrohen, daß sie hinfort keinem Menschen von diesem Namen sagen.
Todavía, porque no se divulgue más por el pueblo, amenacémoslos, que no hablen de aquí adelante a hombre alguno en este nombre.
Pero para que esto no se divulgue más entre el pueblo, amenacémoslos para que no vuelvan a hablar a nadie en este nombre».
Mais, afin que la chose ne se répande pas davantage parmi le peuple, défendons-leur avec menaces de parler désormais à qui que ce soit en ce nom-là.
Ma, acciocchè questo non si spanda maggiormente fra il popolo, divietiam loro con severe minacce, che non parlino più ad alcun uomo in questo nome.
Mas, para que não se divulgue mais entre o povo, ameacemo-los para que não falem mais nesse nome a homem algum.
但為避免這事越發在民間傳揚,我們必須威嚇他們,叫他們不可再奉這名對任何人講論。」
