Dem tut der Türhüter auf, und die Schafe hören seine Stimme; und er ruft seine Schafe mit Namen und führt sie aus.
A éste abre el portero, y las ovejas oyen su voz: y a sus ovejas llama por nombre, y las saca.
A este le abre el portero, y las ovejas escuchan su voz. Él llama por nombre a sus propias ovejas y las saca.
Le portier lui ouvre, et les brebis entendent sa voix; il appelle par leur nom les brebis qui lui appartiennent, et il les conduit dehors.
A costui apre il portinaio, e le pecore ascoltano la sua voce, ed egli chiama le sue pecore per nome, e le conduce fuori.
A este o porteiro abre, e as ovelhas ouvem a sua voz, e chama pelo nome às suas ovelhas, e as traz para fora.
看門的給他開門,羊也聽他的聲音。他按著名叫自己的羊,把羊領出來。
