The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.

Und war ihm kein Zedernbaum gleich in Gottes Garten, und die Tannenbäume waren seinen Ästen nicht zu vergleichen, und die Kastanienbäume waren nichts gegen seine Zweige. Ja, er war so schön wie kein Baum im Garten Gottes.
Los cedros no lo cubrieron en el huerto de Dios: las hayas no fueron semejantes a sus ramas, ni los castaños fueron semejantes a sus ramos: ningún árbol en el huerto de Dios fue semejante a él en su hermosura.
Los cedros del jardín de Dios no podían hacerle sombra; los cipreses no se comparaban con sus ramas ni los plátanos orientales con su ramaje. Ningún árbol del jardín de Dios lo igualaba en hermosura.
Les cèdres du jardin de Dieu ne le surpassaient point, Les cyprès n'égalaient point ses branches, Et les platanes n'étaient point comme ses rameaux; Aucun arbre du jardin de Dieu ne lui était comparable en beauté.
I cedri non gli facevano ombra nel giardin di Dio; gli abeti non eran simili pure a’ suoi rami; ed i platani non eran pur come i suoi ramoscelli; niun albero, nel giardino del Signore, lo pareggiava di bellezza.
Os cedros, no jardim de Deus, não o podiam obscurecer; as faias não igualavam os seus ramos, e os castanheiros não eram como os seus renovos; nenhuma árvore no jardim de Deus se assemelhou a ele na sua formosura.
上帝園中的香柏樹不能遮蔽它; 松樹不及它的枝子, 楓樹不及它的枝條, 上帝園中的樹都沒有它榮美。
