Wenn du den Acker bauen wirst, soll er dir hinfort sein Vermögen nicht geben. Unstet und flüchtig sollst du sein auf Erden.
Cuando labrares la tierra, no te volverá a dar su fuerza: errante y extranjero serás en la tierra.
Cuando cultives la tierra, ya no te dará su fruto. Serás un fugitivo y andarás errante por la tierra».
Quand tu cultiveras le sol, il ne te donnera plus sa richesse. Tu seras errant et vagabond sur la terre.
Quando tu lavorerai la terra, ella non continuerà più di renderti la sua virtù; e tu sarai vagabondo ed errante sulla terra
Quando lavrares a terra, não te dará mais a sua força; fugitivo e vagabundo serás na terra.
你耕種土地,它不再給你效力;你必流離飄蕩在地上。」
