Ihr aber alle, die ihr gefangen seid weggeführt, die ich von Jerusalem habe gen Babel ziehen lassen, hört des HERRN Wort!
Oíd pues palabra de Jehová, vosotros todos los trasportados que eché de Jerusalem a Babilonia.
Pero ustedes, todos los desterrados que envié de Jerusalén a Babilonia, escuchen la palabra de Jehová».
Mais vous, écoutez la parole de l'Eternel, vous tous, captifs, que j'ai envoyés de Jérusalem à Babylone!
Voi dunque tutti che siete in cattività, i quali io ho mandati di Gerusalemme in Babilonia, ascoltate la parola del Signore.
Vós, pois, ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, todos os do cativeiro que enviei de Jerusalém a Babilônia.
所以你們所有被擄去的,就是我從 耶路撒冷 放逐到 巴比倫 去的,當聽耶和華的話。
