Wenn du Geld leihst einem aus meinem Volk, der arm ist bei dir, sollst du ihn nicht zu Schaden bringen und keinen Wucher an ihm treiben.
Y mi furor se encenderá, y os mataré a cuchillo, y vuestras mujeres serán viudas, y huérfanos vuestros hijos.
Mi ira se encenderá y los mataré a espada; sus esposas quedarán viudas y sus hijos, huérfanos.
ma colère s'enflammera, et je vous détruirai par l'épée; vos femmes deviendront veuves, et vos enfants orphelins.
E l’ira mia si accenderà, ed io vi ucciderò con la spada: e le vostre mogli saranno vedove, e i vostri figliuoli orfani
E a minha ira se acenderá, e vos matarei à espada; e vossas mulheres ficarão viúvas, e vossos filhos órfãos.
並要發烈怒,用刀殺你們,使你們的妻子成為寡婦,兒女成為孤兒。
