Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Darum spricht der HERR also: Dein Weib wird in der Stadt zur Hure werden, und deine Söhne und Töchter sollen durchs Schwert fallen, und dein Acker soll durch die Schnur ausgeteilt werden; du aber sollst in einem unreinen Lande sterben, und Israel soll aus seinem Lande vertrieben werden.
Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Tu mujer fornicará en la ciudad, y tus hijos y tus hijas caerán a cuchillo, y tu tierra será partida por suertes; y tú morirás en tierra inmunda, e Israel será traspasado de su tierra.
A cause de cela, voici ce que dit l'Eternel: Ta femme se prostituera dans la ville, tes fils et tes filles tomberont par l'épée, ton champ sera partagé au cordeau; et toi, tu mourras sur une terre impure, et Israël sera emmené captif loin de son pays.
Perciò, così ha detto il Signore: La tua moglie fornicherà nella città, e i tuoi figliuoli, e le tue figliuole caderanno per la spada; e la tua terra sarà spartita con la cordicella, e tu morrai in terra immonda, e Israele sarà del tutto menato in cattività, d’in su la sua terra
Portanto assim diz o SENHOR: Tua mulher se prostituirá na cidade, e teus filhos e tuas filhas cairão à espada, e a tua terra será repartida a cordel, e tu morrerás na terra imunda, e Israel certamente será levado cativo para fora da sua terra.
所以耶和華如此說: 『你的妻子要在城中作妓女, 你的兒女要倒在刀下; 你的地必有人用繩子量了瓜分, 你自己必死在不潔淨之地; 以色列 百姓必被擄, 離開本地。』」
