Ist nicht die Speise vor unsern Augen weggenommen und vom Hause unsers Gottes Freude und Wonne?
¿No es quitado el mantenimiento de delante de nuestros ojos, la alegría y el placer de la casa de nuestro Dios?
¿No ha sido quitado el alimento ante nuestros ojos, y la alegría y el júbilo de la casa de nuestro Dios?
La nourriture n'est-elle pas enlevée sous nos yeux? La joie et l'allégresse n'ont-elles pas disparu de la maison de notre Dieu?
Non è il cibo del tutto riciso d’innanzi agli occhi nostri? la letizia, e la gioia non è ella recisa dalla Casa dell’Iddio nostro?
Porventura o mantimento não está cortado de diante de nossos olhos, a alegria e o regozijo da casa de nosso Deus?
糧食不是在我們眼前斷絕了嗎? 歡喜快樂不是從我們上帝的殿中止息了嗎?
