Und Lamech sprach zu seinen Weibern Ada und Zilla: Ihr Weiber Lamechs, hört meine Rede und merkt, was ich sage: Ich habe einen Mann erschlagen für meine Wunde und einen Jüngling für meine Beule;
Y dijo Lamech a sus mujeres: Ada y Zilla, oíd mi voz; Mujeres de Lamech, escuchad mi dicho: Que varón mataré por mi herida, Y mancebo por mi golpe:
Lamec les dijo a sus esposas: «Ada y Zila, escuchen mi voz; esposas de Lamec, presten atención a mis palabras. He matado a un hombre por herirme, a un joven por golpearme.
Lémec dit à ses femmes: Ada et Tsilla, écoutez ma voix! Femmes de Lémec, écoutez ma parole! J'ai tué un homme pour ma blessure, Et un jeune homme pour ma meurtrissure.
E Lamec disse ad Ada e Silla sue mogli: Ascoltate la mia voce, mogli di Lamec; Porgete l’orecchio al mio parlare. Certo io ho ucciso un uomo, dandogli una ferita; Ed un giovane, dandogli una percossa.
E disse Lameque a suas mulheres Ada e Zilá: Ouvi a minha voz; vós, mulheres de Lameque, escutai as minhas palavras; porque eu matei um homem por me ferir, e um jovem por me pisar.
