denn sie sprechen: "Es ist nicht so nahe; laßt uns nur Häuser bauen! Sie ist der Topf, so sind wir das Fleisch."
Los cuales dicen: No será tan presto: edifiquemos casas: ésta será la caldera, y nosotros la carne.
Dicen: “No está cerca el tiempo de construir casas. Esta ciudad es la olla y nosotros somos la carne”.
Ils disent: Ce n'est pas le moment! Bâtissons des maisons! La ville est la chaudière, et nous sommes la viande.
La cosa non è ancor vicina; edifichiamo delle case; questa città è la pignatta, e noi saremo la carne.
Os quais dizem: Não está próximo o tempo de edificar casas; esta cidade é o caldeirão, e nós a carne.
他們說:『蓋房屋的時候尚未臨近;這城是鍋,我們是肉。』
