und sollst fröhlich sein vor dem HERRN, deinem Gott, du und dein Sohn, deine Tochter, dein Knecht, deine Magd und der Levit, der in deinem Tor ist, der Fremdling, der Waise, und die Witwe, die unter dir sind, an der Stätte, die der HERR, dein Gott, erwählen wird, daß sein Name da wohne.
Y te alegrarás delante de Jehová tu Dios, tú, y tu hijo, y tu hija, y tu siervo, y tu sierva, y el Levita que estuviere en tus ciudades, y el extranjero, y el huérfano, y la viuda, que estuvieren en medio de ti, en el lugar que Jehová tu Dios hubiere escogido para hacer habitar allí su nombre.
Tu te réjouiras devant l'Eternel, ton Dieu, dans le lieu que l'Eternel, ton Dieu, choisira pour y faire résider son nom, toi, ton fils et ta fille, ton serviteur et ta servante, le Lévite qui sera dans tes portes, et l'étranger, l'orphelin et la veuve qui seront au milieu de toi.
E rallegrati davanti al Signore Iddio tuo, tu, e il tuo figliuolo, e la tua figliuola, e il tuo servo, e la tua serva, e il Levita che sarà dentro alle tue porte, e il forestiere, e l’orfano, e la vedova, che saranno nel mezzo di te, nel luogo il quale il Signore Iddio tuo avrà scelto per istanziarvi il suo Nome.
E te alegrarás perante o SENHOR teu Deus, tu, e teu filho, e tua filha, e o teu servo, e a tua serva, e o levita que está dentro das tuas portas, e o estrangeiro, e o órfão, e a viúva, que estão no meio de ti, no lugar que o SENHOR teu Deus escolher para ali fazer habitar o seu nome.
你和你的兒女、僕婢,以及住在你城裏的 利未 人、在你中間寄居的和孤兒寡婦,都要在那裏,耶和華-你上帝選擇作為他名居所的地方,在耶和華-你上帝面前歡樂。
