En aquel día, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, te tomaré, oh Zorobabel, hijo de Sealtiel, siervo mío, dice Jehová, y ponerte he como anillo de sellar: porque yo te escogí, dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
Aquel día —declara Jehová de los ejércitos— te tomaré, Zorobabel, hijo de Salatiel, siervo mío —declara Jehová—, y te pondré como anillo de sellar, porque te he escogido —declara Jehová de los ejércitos—”».
En ce jour-là, dit l'Eternel des armées, Je te prendrai, Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, Mon serviteur, dit l'Eternel, Et je te garderai comme un sceau; Car je t'ai choisi, dit l'Eternel des armées.

Naquele dia, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, tomar-te-ei, ó Zorobabel, servo meu, filho de Sealtiel, diz o SENHOR, e far-te-ei como um anel de selar; porque te escolhi, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos.
