vor dem Getümmel ihrer starken Rosse, so dahertraben, und vor dem Rasseln ihrer Wagen und Poltern ihrer Räder; daß sich die Väter nicht werden umsehen nach den Kindern, so verzagt werden sie sein
Por el sonido de las uñas de sus fuertes, por el alboroto de sus carros, por el estruendo de sus ruedas, los padres no miraron a los hijos por la flaqueza de las manos;
ante el estruendo del galope de sus corceles, el retumbar de sus carros y el fragor de sus ruedas. Los padres no se volverán hacia sus hijos, porque les faltarán las fuerzas,
A cause du retentissement des sabots de ses puissants chevaux, Du bruit de ses chars et du fracas des roues; Les pères ne se tournent pas vers leurs enfants, Tant les mains sont affaiblies,
Per lo strepito del calpestio delle unghie de’ destrieri di esso, per lo romore de’ suoi carri, per lo fracasso delle sue ruote, i padri non si son rivolti a’ figliuoli, per la fiacchezza delle lor mani;
Ao ruído estrepitoso dos cascos dos seus fortes cavalos, ao barulho de seus carros, ao estrondo das suas rodas; os pais não atendem aos filhos, por causa da fraqueza das mãos;
一聽見敵人壯馬蹄踏的響聲、 戰車隆隆、車輪轟轟, 為父的手就發軟, 不能回頭看顧兒女。
