daß ihr zur selben Zeit waret ohne Christum, fremd und außer der Bürgerschaft Israels und fremd den Testamenten der Verheißung; daher ihr keine Hoffnung hattet und waret ohne Gott in der Welt.
Que en aquel tiempo estabais sin Cristo, alejados de la república de Israel, y extranjeros a los pactos de la promesa, sin esperanza y sin Dios en el mundo.
En aquel tiempo estaban separados de Cristo, excluidos de la ciudadanía de Israel y ajenos a los pactos de la promesa, sin esperanza y sin Dios en el mundo.
que vous étiez en ce temps-là sans Christ, privés du droit de cité en Israël, étrangers aux alliances de la promesse, sans espérance et sans Dieu dans le monde.
in quel tempo eravate senza Cristo, alieni dalla repubblica d’Israele, e stranieri de’ patti della promessa, non avendo speranza, ed essendo senza Dio nel mondo.
Que naquele tempo estáveis sem Cristo, separados da comunidade de Israel, e estranhos às alianças da promessa, não tendo esperança, e sem Deus no mundo.
要記得那時候,你們與基督無關,與 以色列 選民團體隔絕,在所應許的約上是局外人,而且在世上沒有指望,沒有上帝。
