siehe, so wird der HERR über sie kommen lassen starke und viele Wasser des Stromes, nämlich den König von Assyrien und alle seine Herrlichkeit, daß sie über alle ihre Bäche fahren und über alle Ufer gehen,
He aquí por tanto que el Señor hace subir sobre ellos aguas de ríos, impetuosas y muchas, a saber, al rey de Asiria con todo su poder; el cual subirá sobre todos sus ríos, y pasará sobre todas sus riberas:
Voici, le Seigneur va faire monter contre eux Les puissantes et grandes eaux du fleuve Le roi d'Assyrie et toute sa gloire; Il s'élèvera partout au-dessus de son lit, Et il se répandra sur toutes ses rives;
perciò, ecco altresì il Signore fa salir sopra loro le acque del fiume, forti e grandi, cioè: il re di Assiria, e tutta la sua gloria; ed esso salirà sopra tutti i lor ruscelli, e passerà sopra tutte le loro rive;
Portanto eis que o Senhor fará subir sobre eles as águas do rio, fortes e impetuosas, isto é, o rei da Assíria, com toda a sua glória; e subirá sobre todos os seus leitos, e transbordará por todas as suas ribanceiras.
因此,看哪,主必使 亞述 王和他的威勢如 大河 翻騰洶湧的水上漲,蓋過他們,必上漲超過一切水道,漲過兩岸,
