Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

Was gilt's, ob du dann vor deinem Totschläger wirst sagen: "Ich bin Gott", so du doch nicht Gott, sondern ein Mensch und in deiner Totschläger Hand bist?
¿Hablarás delante de tu matador, diciendo: Yo soy Dios? Tú, hombre eres, y no Dios, en la mano de tu matador.
¿Seguirás diciendo: “Soy un dios”, delante del que te mate? Eres un ser humano y no un dios en manos de los que te traspasan.
En face de ton meurtrier, diras-tu: Je suis Dieu? Tu seras homme et non Dieu Sous la main de celui qui te tuera.
Dirai tu pure: Io son Dio, dinanzi a colui che ti ucciderà? ma tu sarai pur uomo, e non Dio, nella mano di colui che ti ferirà a morte.
Acaso dirás ainda diante daquele que te matar: Eu sou Deus? mas tu és homem, e não Deus, na mão do que te traspassa.
在殺你的人面前, 你還能說『我是神明』嗎? 在殺害你的人手中, 你不過是人,並不是神明。
