Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

Laßt sie ihre Stricke spannen, sie werden doch nicht halten; also werden sie auch das Fähnlein nicht auf den Mastbaum ausstecken. Dann wird viel köstlicher Raub ausgeteilt werden, also daß auch die Lahmen rauben werden.
Tus cuerdas se aflojaron; no afirmaron su mástil, ni entesaron la vela: repartirase entonces presa de muchos despojos: los cojos arrebatarán presa.
Tus cuerdas se han aflojado; no mantienen firme la base de su mástil ni han desplegado la vela. Entonces se repartirá abundante botín; hasta los cojos saquearán los despojos.
Tes cordages sont relâchés; Ils ne serrent plus le pied du mât et ne tendent plus les voiles. Alors on partage la dépouille d'un immense butin; Les boiteux même prennent part au pillage:
Le tue corde son rallentate; esse non potranno tener fermamente diritto l’albero della lor nave, nè spiegar la vela; allora sarà spartita la preda di grandi spoglie; gli zoppi stessi prederanno la preda.
As tuas cordas se afrouxaram; não puderam ter firme o seu mastro, e nem desfraldar a vela; então a presa de abundantes despojos se repartirá; e até os coxos dividirão a presa.
船上的繩索鬆開, 不能穩住桅杆, 也無法揚起船帆。 那時許多擄物被瓜分, 連瘸腿的也能奪走掠物。
