Er kehrt die Wolken, wo er hin will, daß sie schaffen alles, was er ihnen gebeut, auf dem Erdboden:
Asimismo por sus designios se revuelven las nubes en derredor, Para hacer sobre la haz del mundo, En la tierra, lo que él les mandara.
Ellas giran y dan vueltas bajo su dirección, para hacer todo lo que les manda sobre la superficie del mundo.
Leurs évolutions varient selon ses desseins, Pour l'accomplissement de tout ce qu'il leur ordonne, Sur la face de la terre habitée;

雲藉著他的指引遊行旋轉, 在世界的地面上行他一切所吩咐的,
