Und er sprach zu ihnen: Verunreinigt das Haus und macht die Vorhöfe voll Erschlagener; gehet heraus! Und sie gingen heraus und schlugen in der Stadt.
Y díjoles: Contaminad la casa, y henchid los atrios de muertos: salid. Y salieron, e hirieron en la ciudad.
Les dijo: «Profanen la casa y llenen los patios de muertos. ¡Salgan!». Salieron y fueron matando por la ciudad.
Il leur dit: Souillez la maison, et remplissez de morts les parvis!... Sortez!... Ils sortirent, et ils frappèrent dans la ville.
Ed egli disse loro: Contaminate la Casa, ed empiete d’uccisi i cortili. Poi disse loro: Uscite. Ed essi uscirono, e andavano percotendo per la città.
E disse-lhes: Contaminai a casa e enchei os átrios de mortos; saí. E saíram, e feriram na cidade.
他對他們說:「要使這殿污穢,使院中遍滿被殺的人。你們出去吧!」他們就出去,在城中擊殺。
