And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

Nun, du Menschenkind, so spricht der Herr, HERR: Sage allen Vögeln, woher sie fliegen, und allen Tieren auf dem Felde: Sammelt euch und kommt her, findet euch allenthalben zuhauf zu meinem Schlachtopfer, das ich euch schlachte, ein großes Schlachtopfer auf den Bergen Israels, fresset Fleisch und saufet Blut!
Y tú, hijo del hombre, así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Di a las aves, a todo volátil, y a toda bestia del campo: Juntaos, y venid; reuníos de todas partes a mí víctima que os sacrifico, un sacrificio grande sobre los montes de Israel, y comeréis carne y beberéis sangre.
Tú, hijo de hombre, así dice el Señor Jehová: Di a las aves de toda clase y a todas las fieras del campo: “Reúnanse y vengan; júntense de todas partes al sacrificio que voy a ofrecer para ustedes, un gran sacrificio en los montes de Israel. Comerán carne y beberán sangre.
Et toi, fils de l'homme, ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Dis aux oiseaux, à tout ce qui a des ailes, Et à toutes les bêtes des champs: Réunissez-vous, venez, rassemblez-vous de toutes parts, Pour le sacrifice où j'immole pour vous des victimes, Grand sacrifice sur les montagnes d'Israël! Vous mangerez de la chair, et vous boirez du sang.
Oltre a ciò, figliuol d’uomo, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Di’ agli uccelli d’ogni maniera, ed a tutte le fiere della campagna: Adunatevi, e venite; raccoglietevi d’ogn’intorno all’uccisione che io vi fo; alla grande uccisione che io fo sopra i monti d’Israele; e voi mangerete della carne, e berrete del sangue.
Tu, pois, ó filho do homem, assim diz o Senhor DEUS, dize às aves de toda espécie, e a todos os animais do campo: Ajuntai-vos e vinde, congregai-vos de toda parte para o meu sacrifício, que eu ofereci por vós, um sacrifício grande, nos montes de Israel, e comei carne e bebei sangue.
「你,人子啊,主耶和華如此說:你要向各類的飛鳥和野地的走獸說:你們要聚集,來吧,從四方聚集來吃我為你們準備的祭物,就是在 以色列 的群山上豐盛的祭物,叫你們吃肉、喝血。
