daß der, so schnell ist, soll nicht entfliehen noch der Starke etwas vermögen und der Mächtige nicht soll sein Leben retten können;
Y la huida perecerá del ligero, y el fuerte no esforzará su fuerza, ni el valiente librará su vida;
Celui qui est agile ne pourra fuir, Celui qui a de la force ne pourra s'en servir, Et l'homme vaillant ne sauvera pas sa vie;
Ed ogni modo di fuggire verrà meno al veloce, e il forte non potrà rinforzar le sue forze, nè il prode scampar la sua vita.
Assim perecerá a fuga ao ágil; nem o forte corroborará a sua força, nem o poderoso livrará a sua vida.
快跑的無從避難, 壯士無法使力, 勇士也不能自救;
