Da aber Gott sah ihre Werke, daß sie sich bekehrten von ihrem bösen Wege, reute ihn des Übels, das er geredet hatte ihnen zu tun, und tat's nicht.
Y vio Dios lo que hicieron, que se convirtieron de su mal camino: y arrepintiose del mal que había dicho les había de hacer, y no lo hizo.
Dieu vit qu'ils agissaient ainsi et qu'ils revenaient de leur mauvaise voie. Alors Dieu se repentit du mal qu'il avait résolu de leur faire, et il ne le fit pas.
E Iddio vide le loro opere; come si erano convertiti dalla lor via malvagia; ed egli si pentì del male, ch’egli avea detto di far loro, e non lo fece
E Deus viu as obras deles, como se converteram do seu mau caminho; e Deus se arrependeu do mal que tinha anunciado lhes faria, e não o fez.
上帝察看他們的行為,見他們離開惡道,上帝就改變心意,原先所說要降與他們的災難,他不降了。
