Weh den Stolzen zu Zion und denen, die sich auf den Berg Samarias verlassen, den Vornehmsten des Erstlings unter den Völkern, und zu denen das Haus Israel kommt!
¡Ay de los reposados en Sion, y de los confiados en el monte de Samaria, nombrados principales entre las mismas naciones, las cuales vendrán sobre ellos, oh casa de Israel!
Malheur à ceux qui vivent tranquilles dans Sion, Et en sécurité sur la montagne de Samarie, A ces grands de la première des nations, Auprès desquels va la maison d'Israël!...
GUAI a quelli che sono agiati in Sion, e che se ne stanno sicuri nel monte di Samaria, luoghi famosi per capi di nazioni, a’ quali va la casa d’Israele!
AI dos que vivem sossegados em Sião, e dos que estão confiados no monte de Samaria, que têm nome entre as primeiras das nações, e aos quais vem a casa de Israel!
「那在 錫安 安逸, 在 撒瑪利亞山 安穩, 為列國之首,具有名望, 且為 以色列 家所歸向的,有禍了!
