Lassen wir ihn also, so werden sie alle an ihn glauben; so kommen dann die Römer und nehmen uns Land und Leute.
Si le dejamos así, todos creerán en Él: y vendrán los Romanos, y quitarán nuestro lugar y la nación.
Si nous le laissons faire, tous croiront en lui, et les Romains viendront détruire et notre ville et notre nation.
Se noi lo lasciamo così, tutti crederanno in lui, e i Romani verranno, e distruggeranno e il nostro luogo, e la nostra nazione.
Se o deixamos assim, todos crerão nele, e virão os romanos, e tirar-nos-ão o nosso lugar e a nação.
若讓他這樣做,人人都要信他; 羅馬 人也要來毀滅我們的聖殿 和我們的民族。」
