und einen Mordschrei über den andern; denn das ganze Land wird verheert, plötzlich werden meine Hütten und meine Gezelte verstört.
Quebrantamiento sobre quebrantamiento es llamado; porque toda la tierra es destruida: en un punto son destruidas mis tiendas, en un momento mis cortinas.
Se anuncia desastre tras desastre, porque toda la tierra ha sido devastada. De repente han sido destruidas mis tiendas; en un instante, mis cortinas.
On annonce ruine sur ruine, Car tout le pays est ravagé; Mes tentes sont ravagées tout à coup, Mes pavillons en un instant.
Una ruina è chiamata dietro all’altra ruina; conciossiachè tutto il paese sia guasto; le mie tende sono state di subito guaste, ed i miei teli in un momento.
Destruição sobre destruição se apregoa; porque já toda a terra está destruída; de repente foram destruídas as minhas tendas, e as minhas cortinas num momento.
毀壞的信息不斷傳來, 因為全地荒廢。 我的帳棚忽然毀壞, 我的幔子頃刻破裂。
