There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

Da haben doch miteinander Frieden die Gefangenen und hören nicht die Stimme des Drängers.
Allí asimismo reposan los cautivos; No oyen la voz del exactor.
Allí los cautivos reposan juntos y no oyen la voz del capataz.
Les captifs sont tous en paix, Ils n'entendent pas la voix de l'oppresseur;
Parimente i prigioni hanno requie, E non odono più la voce del sollecitator delle opere.
Ali os presos juntamente repousam, e não ouvem a voz do exator.
被囚的人同得安逸, 不再聽見監工的聲音。
