Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.

darum daß sie eine Torheit in Israel begingen und trieben Ehebruch mit ihrer Nächsten Weibern und predigten falsch in meinem Namen, was ich ihnen nicht befohlen hatte. Solches weiß ich und bezeuge es, spricht der HERR.
Porque hicieron maldad en Israel, y cometieron adulterio con las mujeres de sus prójimos, y falsamente hablaron en mi nombre palabra que no les mandé; lo cual yo sé, y soy testigo, dice Jehová.
Porque cometieron una infamia en Israel, cometieron adulterio con las mujeres de sus prójimos y hablaron en mi nombre palabras falsas que no les ordené. Yo soy el que sabe y soy testigo —declara Jehová—».
Et cela arrivera parce qu'ils ont commis une infamie en Israël, se livrant à l'adultère avec les femmes de leur prochain, et parce qu'ils ont dit des mensonges en mon nom, quand je ne leur avais point donné d'ordre. Je le sais, et j'en suis témoin, dit l'Eternel.
Perciocchè han fatte delle cose nefande in Israele, ed han commesso adulterio con le mogli de’ lor prossimi, ed han parlato in Nome mio falsamente; il che io non avea lor comandato; ed io sono quel che ne son sapevole e testimonio, dice il Signore
Porquanto fizeram loucura em Israel, e cometeram adultério com as mulheres dos seus vizinhos, e anunciaram falsamente, em meu nome uma palavra, que não lhes mandei, e eu o sei e sou testemunha disso, diz o SENHOR.
這二人在 以色列 中做了醜事,與鄰舍的妻行淫,又假託我的名說我未曾吩咐他們的話。我知道這一切,也作見證。這是耶和華說的。』」
