und tröstet euch des, das so gar nichts ist, und sprecht: Sind wir denn nicht stark genug mit unsern Hörnern?
Vosotros que os alegráis en nada, que decís: ¿No nos hemos adquirido potencia con nuestra fortaleza?
Se alegran por Lo-debar y dicen: «¿No hemos tomado Carnáyim para nosotros con nuestra fuerza?».
Vous vous réjouissez de ce qui n'est que néant, Vous dites: N'est-ce pas par notre force Que nous avons acquis de la puissance?
voi, che vi rallegrate di cose da nulla; che dite: Non abbiamo noi acquistate delle corna con la nostra forza?
Vós que vos alegrais do nada, vós que dizeis: Não é assim que por nossa própria força nos temos tornado poderosos?
你們這些喜愛 羅‧底巴 的,自誇說: 「我們不是憑自己的力量攻佔了 加寧 嗎?」
