But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

Aber ich will ihrer etliche wenige übrigbleiben lassen vor dem Schwert, dem Hunger und der Pestilenz; die sollen jener Greuel erzählen unter den Heiden, dahin sie kommen werden, und sie sollen erfahren, daß ich der HERR sei.
Y haré que de ellos queden pocos en número, del cuchillo, y del hambre, y de la pestilencia, para que cuenten todas sus abominaciones entre las gentes adonde llegaren; y sabrán que yo soy Jehová.
Pero dejaré que unos pocos de ellos sobrevivan a la espada, al hambre y a la peste, para que cuenten todas sus abominaciones entre las naciones adonde vayan. Así sabrán que yo soy Jehová».
Mais je laisserai d'eux quelques hommes Qui échapperont à l'épée, à la famine et à la peste, Afin qu'ils racontent toutes leurs abominations Parmi les nations où ils iront. Et ils sauront que je suis l'Eternel.
Ma lascerò d’infra loro alcuni pochi uomini, restati della spada, della fame, e della pestilenza; acciocchè raccontino tutte le loro abbominazioni, fra le nazioni dove perverranno; e conosceranno che io sono il Signore
Mas deles deixarei ficar alguns poucos, escapos da espada, da fome, e da peste, para que contem todas as suas abominações entre as nações para onde forem; e saberão que eu sou o SENHOR.
我卻要留下他們當中幾個人得免刀劍、饑荒、瘟疫,使他們在所到的列國述說自己所做一切可憎的事;他們就知道我是耶和華。」
