Alle Sünder in meinem Volk sollen durchs Schwert sterben, die da sagen: Es wird das Unglück nicht so nahe sein noch uns begegnen.
A cuchillo morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, que dicen: No se acercará, ni nos alcanzará el mal.
A espada morirán todos los pecadores de mi pueblo, los que dicen: “La desgracia no se acercará ni nos alcanzará”.
Tous les pécheurs de mon peuple mourront par l'épée, Ceux qui disent: Le malheur n'approchera pas, ne nous atteindra pas.
Tutti i peccatori, d’infra il mio popolo, morranno per la spada; i quali dicono: Il male non ci giugnerà, e non c’incontrerà
Todos os pecadores do meu povo morrerão à espada, os que dizem: Não nos alcançará nem nos encontrará o mal.
我子民中所有的罪人, 就是那些說 『災禍必不靠近,必不追上我們』的, 都必死在刀下。」
