Y tú, hijo del hombre, señálate dos caminos por donde venga la espada del rey de Babilonia: de una misma tierra salgan ambos: y echa mano a la suerte: en el principio del camino de la ciudad lo harás.
«En cuanto a ti, hijo de hombre, traza dos caminos por donde venga la espada del rey de Babilonia. Ambos saldrán de una misma tierra. Haz una señal; hazla en la cabecera del camino hacia la ciudad.
Fils de l'homme, trace deux chemins pour servir de passage à l'épée du roi de Babylone; tous les deux doivent sortir du même pays; marque un signe, marque-le à l'entrée du chemin qui conduit à une ville.
Or tu, figliuol d’uomo, fatti due vie, dalle quali venga la spada del re di Babilonia; escano amendue d’una stessa terra; ed appiana un certo spazio; appianalo in capo d’una strada di città.
Tu, pois, ó filho do homem, propõe dois caminhos, por onde venha a espada do rei de Babilônia. Ambos procederão de uma mesma terra, e escolhe um lugar; escolhe-o no cimo do caminho da cidade.
