Unsre Väter haben gesündigt und sind nicht mehr vorhanden, und wir müssen ihre Missetaten entgelten.
Nuestros padres pecaron, y son muertos; Y nosotros llevamos sus castigos.
Nuestros padres pecaron y ya no están, pero nosotros cargamos con sus culpas.
Nos pères ont péché, ils ne sont plus, Et c'est nous qui portons la peine de leurs iniquités.
I nostri padri hanno peccato, e non sono più; Noi abbiam portate le loro iniquità.
Nossos pais pecaram, e já não existem; e nós levamos as suas maldades.
我們的祖先犯罪,而今他們不在了, 我們卻擔當他們的罪孽。
