Darum ist auch unser Herz betrübt, und unsre Augen sind finster geworden
Por esto fue entristecido nuestro corazón, Por esto se entenebrecieron nuestro ojos:
Por esto nuestro corazón está abatido; por estas cosas se oscurecen nuestros ojos,
Si notre coeur est souffrant, Si nos yeux sont obscurcis,
Per questo il cuor nostro è languido; Per queste cose gli occhi nostri sono scurati.
Por isso desmaiou o nosso coração; por isso se escureceram os nossos olhos.
因這些事我們心裏發昏, 眼睛昏花。
