Also schlugen die Juden an allen ihren Feinden eine Schwertschlacht und würgten und raubten und brachten um und taten nach ihrem Willen an denen, die ihnen feind waren.

Les Juifs frappèrent à coups d'épée tous leurs ennemis, ils les tuèrent et les firent périr; ils traitèrent comme il leur plut ceux qui leur étaient hostiles.
I Giudei adunque percossero tutti i lor nemici, mettendoli a fil di spada, e facendone uccisione e distruzione; e fecero inverso i lor nemici a lor volontà.
Feriram, pois, os judeus a todos os seus inimigos, a golpes de espada, com matança e com destruição; e fizeram dos seus inimigos o que quiseram.
猶太 人用刀擊殺所有的仇敵,殺滅他們,隨意待那些恨他們的人。
