Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.

und diese drei Männer wären auch darin: so wahr ich lebe, spricht der Herr, HERR, sie würden weder Söhne noch Töchter erretten, sondern allein sich selbst, und das Land müßte öde werden.
Y estos tres varones estuvieren en medio de ella, vivo yo, dice el Señor Jehová, ni a sus hijos ni a sus hijas librarán; ellos solos serán libres, y la tierra será asolada.
aunque estos tres hombres estuvieran en medio de ella, tan cierto como que vivo yo, declara el Señor Jehová, no salvarían a hijos ni a hijas. Solo ellos se salvarían, y la tierra quedaría desolada.
et qu'il y eût au milieu de lui ces trois hommes, je suis vivant! dit le Seigneur, l'Eternel, ils ne sauveraient ni fils ni filles, eux seuls seraient sauvés, et le pays deviendrait un désert.
quando questi tre uomini fossero in mezzo di quello, come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, non libererebbero nè figliuoli, nè figliuole; eglino soli sarebbero liberati, e il paese sarebbe desolato.
E estes três homens estivessem no meio dela, vivo eu, diz o Senhor DEUS, que nem a filhos nem a filhas livrariam; eles só ficariam livres, e a terra seria assolada.
雖有這三人在其中,主耶和華說:我指著我的永生起誓,他們不能救兒子女兒,只有他們自己可以得救,那地仍然荒涼。
