Und du, Menschenkind, sollst seufzen, bis dir die Lenden weh tun, ja, bitterlich sollst du seufzen, daß sie es sehen.
Y diola a acicalar para tenerla a mano: la espada está afilada, y acicalada está ella, para entregarlo en mano del matador.
On l'a donnée à polir, Pour que la main la saisisse; Elle est aiguisée, l'épée, elle est polie, Pour armer la main de celui qui massacre.
E il Signore l’ha data a forbire, per impugnarla; è una spada aguzzata, e forbita, per darla in mano d’un ucciditore.
E foi dada a polir, para ser manejada; esta espada está afiada, e está polida, para ser posta na mão do matador.
它已經交給人擦亮,可以掌握使用;這刀已經磨快擦亮,好交在行殺戮的人手中。
