Und er sprach zu mir: Du Menschenkind, diese Gebeine sind das ganze Haus Israel. Siehe, jetzt sprechen sie: Unsere Gebeine sind verdorrt, und unsere Hoffnung ist verloren, und es ist aus mit uns.
Díjome luego: Hijo del hombre, todos estos huesos son la casa de Israel. He aquí, ellos dicen: Nuestros huesos se secaron, y pereció nuestra esperanza, y somos del todo talados.
Entonces me dijo: «Hijo de hombre, estos huesos son toda la casa de Israel. Ellos dicen: “Se han secado nuestros huesos y ha perecido nuestra esperanza. ¡Estamos completamente perdidos!”.
Il me dit: Fils de l'homme, ces os, c'est toute la maison d'Israël. Voici, ils disent: Nos os sont desséchés, notre espérance est détruite, nous sommes perdus!
Ed egli mi disse: Figliuol d’uomo queste ossa son tutta la casa d’Israele; ecco, essi dicono: Le nostre ossa son secche, e la nostra speranza è perita; e, quant’è a noi, siamo sterminati.
Então me disse: Filho do homem, estes ossos são toda a casa de Israel. Eis que dizem: Os nossos ossos se secaram, e pereceu a nossa esperança; nós mesmos estamos cortados.
