Gott breite Japheth aus, und lasse ihn wohnen in den Hütten des Sem; und Kanaan sei sein Knecht!
Engrandezca Dios a Japhet, Y habite en las tiendas de Sem, Y séale Canaán siervo.
Que Dios engrandezca a Jafet, que habite en las tiendas de Sem y que Canaán sea su siervo».
Que Dieu étende les possessions de Japhet, qu'il habite dans les tentes de Sem, et que Canaan soit leur esclave!
Iddio allarghi Iafet, ed abiti egli ne’ tabernacoli di Sem; e sia Canaan lor servo
Alargue Deus a Jafé, e habite nas tendas de Sem; e seja-lhe Canaã por servo.
願上帝使 雅弗 擴張, 願他住在 閃 的帳棚裏; 願 迦南 作他的奴僕。」
