Darum ist er höher geworden als alle Bäume im Felde und kriegte viel Äste und lange Zweige; denn er hatte Wasser genug, sich auszubreiten.
Por tanto, se encumbró su altura sobre todos los árboles del campo, y multiplicáronse sus ramos, y a causa de las muchas aguas se alargaron sus ramas que había echado.
Por eso su altura superó a la de todos los árboles del campo. Sus ramas se multiplicaron y su ramaje se alargó por las aguas abundantes, mientras se extendía.
C'est pourquoi sa tige s'élevait au-dessus de tous les arbres des champs, Ses branches avaient multiplié, ses rameaux s'étendaient, Par l'abondance des eaux qui l'avaient fait pousser.
Perciò, la sua altezza si era elevata sopra tutti gli alberi della campagna, ed i suoi rami erano moltiplicati, e i suoi ramoscelli si erano allungati, per la copia delle acque, che l’aveano adacquato, mentre metteva.
Por isso se elevou a sua estatura sobre todas as árvores do campo, e se multiplicaram os seus ramos, e se alongaram as suas varas, por causa das muitas águas quando brotava.
所以它高大超過田野的樹木; 生長時因水源豐沛, 枝子繁多,枝條增長。
