But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

Sie aber waren mir ungehorsam und wollten nicht gehorchen und warf ihrer keiner weg die Greuel vor seinen Augen und verließen die Götzen Ägyptens nicht. Da dachte ich meinem Grimm über sie auszuschütten und all mein Zorn über sie gehen zu lassen noch in Ägyptenland.
Mas ellos se rebelaron contra mí, y no quisieron obedecerme: no echó de sí cada uno las abominaciones de sus ojos, ni dejaron los ídolos de Egipto; y dije que derramaría mi ira sobre ellos, para cumplir mi enojo en ellos en medio de la tierra de Egipto.
Pero se rebelaron contra mí y no quisieron escucharme. Ninguno arrojó las cosas detestables que tenía ante sus ojos ni abandonaron los ídolos de Egipto. Entonces dije que derramaría mi furor sobre ellos y desahogaría mi ira contra ellos en medio de la tierra de Egipto.
Et ils se révoltèrent contre moi, et ils ne voulurent pas m'écouter. Aucun ne rejeta les abominations qui attiraient ses regards, et ils n'abandonnèrent point les idoles de l'Egypte. J'eus la pensée de répandre ma fureur sur eux, d'épuiser contre eux ma colère, au milieu du pays d'Egypte.
Ma essi si ribellarono contro a me, e non vollero ascoltarmi; non gettarono via ciascuno le abbominazioni de’ suoi occhi, e non lasciarono gl’idoli di Egitto; laonde io dissi di volere spandere sopra loro l’ira mia, e d’adempiere il mio cruccio sopra loro, in mezzo del paese di Egitto.
Mas rebelaram-se contra mim, e não me quiseram ouvir; ninguém lançava de si as abominações dos seus olhos, nem deixava os ídolos do Egito; então eu disse que derramaria sobre eles o meu furor, para cumprir a minha ira contra eles no meio da terra do Egito.
他們卻悖逆我,不肯聽從我,不拋棄他們眼中所喜愛的可憎之物,離棄 埃及 的偶像。 「我就說,在 埃及 地,我要把我的憤怒傾倒在他們身上,向他們發盡我的怒氣。
