Und als sie ihn hatten hinausgebracht, sprach er: Errette dein Seele und sieh nicht hinter dich; auch stehe nicht in dieser ganzen Gegend. Auf den Berg rette dich, daß du nicht umkommst.
Y fue que cuando los hubo sacado fuera, dijo: Escapa por tu vida; no mires tras ti, ni pares en toda esta llanura; escapa al monte, no sea que perezcas.
Después de sacarlos, uno de ellos dijo: «¡Huye y salva tu vida! No mires atrás ni te detengas en ningún lugar de la llanura. ¡Escapa a las montañas para que no perezcas!».
Après les avoir fait sortir, l'un d'eux dit: Sauve-toi, pour ta vie; ne regarde pas derrière toi, et ne t'arrête pas dans toute la plaine; sauve-toi vers la montagne, de peur que tu ne périsses.
E quando li ebber fatti uscir fuori, il Signore disse: Scampa sopra l’anima tua; non riguardare indietro, e non fermarti in tutta la pianura; scampa verso il monte, che talora tu non perisca.
E aconteceu que, tirando-os fora, disse: Escapa-te por tua vida; não olhes para trás de ti, e não pares em toda esta campina; escapa lá para o monte, para que não pereças.
領他們出來以後,就說:「逃命吧!不可回頭看,也不可在平原站住。要往山上逃跑,免得你被剿滅。」
