Es ist geschärft, daß es schlachten soll; es ist gefegt, daß es blinken soll. O wie froh wollten wir sein, wenn er gleich alle Bäume zu Ruten machte über die bösen Kinder!
Para que el corazón desmaye, y los estragos se multipliquen: en todas las puertas de ellos he puesto espanto de espada. ¡Ah! dispuesta está para que relumbre, y aderezada para degollar.
Para que el corazón se derrita y se multipliquen los tropiezos, he puesto en todas sus puertas el terror de la espada. ¡Ah, está hecha para destellar como un rayo, preparada para la matanza!
Pour jeter l'effroi dans les coeurs, Pour multiplier les victimes, A toutes leurs portes je les menacerai de l'épée. Ah! elle est faite pour étinceler, Elle est aiguisée pour massacrer.
Io ho posto lo spavento della spada sopra tutte le lor porte, per far che ogni cuore si strugga, e per moltiplicar le ruine; ahi lasso me! ella è apparecchiata per folgorare; è aguzzata per ammazzare.
Para que desmaie o coração, e se multipliquem as destruições, contra todas as suas portas, pus a ponta da espada, a que foi feita para reluzir, e está preparada para a matança!
我設立這恐嚇 的刀,攻擊他們一切的城門,為要使他們的心驚慌害怕,許多人因而跌倒。唉!它 造得像閃電,磨得尖利 ,要行殺戮。
