The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.

Die Wasser machten, daß er groß ward, und die Tiefe, daß er hoch wuchs. Ihre Ströme gingen rings um seinen Stamm her und ihre Bäche zu allen Bäumen im Felde.
Las aguas lo hicieron crecer, encumbrolo el abismo: sus ríos iban alrededor de su pie, y a todos los árboles del campo enviaba sus corrientes.
Las aguas lo hicieron crecer y el abismo lo encumbró. Sus ríos corrían alrededor del lugar donde estaba plantado, y enviaba sus canales a todos los árboles del campo.
Les eaux l'avaient fait croître, L'abîme l'avait fait pousser en hauteur; Des fleuves coulaient autour du lieu où il était planté, Et envoyaient leurs canaux à tous les arbres des champs.
Le acque l’aveano fatto crescere, l’abisso l’avea fatto divenir alto; esso, co’ suoi fiumi, andava d’intorno alla sua pianta, e rimandava i suoi condotti a tutti gli alberi della campagna.
As águas o fizeram crescer, o abismo o exalçou; as suas correntes corriam em torno da sua plantação, e ele enviava os regatos a todas as árvores do campo.
眾水使它生長, 深水使它長高; 所栽之地有江河環繞, 汊出的水道流至田野的樹木。
