Wenn dich der HERR, dein Gott, in das Land bringt, darein du kommen wirst, es einzunehmen, und ausgerottet viele Völker vor dir her, die Hethiter, Girgasiter, Amoriter, Kanaaniter, Pheresiter, Heviter und Jebusiter, sieben Völker, die größer und stärker sind denn du,
Cuando Jehová tu Dios te hubiere introducido en la tierra en la cual tú has de entrar para poseerla, y hubiere echado de delante de ti muchas gentes, al Hetheo, al Gergeseo, y al Amorrheo, y al Cananeo, y al Pherezeo, y al Heveo, y al Jebuseo, siete naciones mayores y más fuertes que tú;
«Cuando Jehová tu Dios te haga entrar en la tierra adonde vas para poseerla y expulse de delante de ti a muchas naciones —los hititas, los gergeseos, los amorreos, los cananeos, los ferezeos, los heveos y los jebuseos, siete naciones más numerosas y más fuertes que tú—,
Lorsque l'Eternel, ton Dieu, t'aura fait entrer dans le pays dont tu vas prendre possession, et qu'il chassera devant toi beaucoup de nations, les Héthiens, les Guirgasiens, les Amoréens, les Cananéens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens, sept nations plus nombreuses et plus puissantes que toi;
QUANDO il Signore Iddio tuo ti avrà introdotto nel paese, al quale tu vai per possederlo, e avrà stirpate d’innanzi a te molte nazioni, gli Hittei, e i Ghirgasei, e gli Amorrei, e i Cananei, e i Ferezei, e gli Hivvei, e i Gebusei, sette nazioni maggiori e più potenti di te;
QUANDO o SENHOR teu Deus te houver introduzido na terra, à qual vais para a possuir, e tiver lançado fora muitas nações de diante de ti, os heteus, e os girgaseus, e os amorreus, e os cananeus, e os perizeus, e os heveus, e os jebuseus, sete nações mais numerosas e mais poderosas do que tu;
「耶和華-你的上帝領你進入你要得為業之地,從你面前趕出許多國家,就是比你更強大的七個國家: 赫 人、 革迦撒 人、 亞摩利 人、 迦南 人、 比利洗 人、 希未 人、 耶布斯 人。
