They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

sondern laß sie nicht wohnen in deinem Lande, daß sie dich nicht verführen wider mich. Denn wo du ihren Göttern dienst, wird dir's zum Fall geraten.
En tu tierra no habitarán, no sea que te hagan pecar contra mí sirviendo a sus dioses: porque te será de tropiezo.
No habitarán en tu tierra, para que no te hagan pecar contra mí. Si sirves a sus dioses, eso será una trampa para ti».
Ils n'habiteront point dans ton pays, de peur qu'ils ne te fassent pécher contre moi; car tu servirais leurs dieux, et ce serait un piège pour toi.
Non abitino essi nel tuo paese, chè talora non ti facciano peccare contro a me; conciossiachè tu serviresti agl’iddii loro; perciocchè quello ti sarebbe in laccio
Na tua terra não habitarão, para que não te façam pecar contra mim; se servires aos seus deuses, certamente isso será um laço para ti.
他們不可住在你的地上,免得他們使你得罪我。你若事奉他們的神明,必成為你的圈套。」
