daß ich von allem, was dein ist, nicht einen Faden noch einen Schuhriemen nehmen will, daß du nicht sagst, du hast Abram reich gemacht;
Que desde un hilo hasta la correa de un calzado, nada tomaré de todo lo que es tuyo, porque no digas: Yo enriquecí a Abram:
je ne prendrai rien de tout ce qui est à toi, pas même un fil, ni un cordon de soulier, afin que tu ne dises pas: J'ai enrichi Abram. Rien pour moi!
se, di tutto ciò ch’è tuo, io prendo pure un filo, od una correggia di scarpa; che talora tu non dica: Io ho arricchito Abramo;
Jurando que desde um fio até à correia de um sapato, não tomarei coisa alguma de tudo o que é teu; para que não digas: Eu enriqueci a Abrão;
凡是你的東西,就是一根線、一條鞋帶,我都不拿,免得你說:『是我使 亞伯蘭 富足!』
