ma pure, lasciate in terra il ceppo delle sue radici, e sia legato di legami di ferro, e di rame, fra l’erba della campagna; e sia bagnato della rugiada del cielo, e la sua parte sia con le bestie, nell’erba della terra.
Mas deixai na terra o tronco com as suas raízes, atada com cadeias de ferro e de bronze, na erva do campo; e seja molhado do orvalho do céu, e seja a sua porção com os animais na erva da terra;
樹的殘幹卻要留在地裏,在田野的青草中用鐵圈和銅圈套住。任他讓天上的露水滴濕,和地上的走獸一同吃草,
