Darum habe ich gesagt den Kindern Israel: Keine Seele unter euch soll Blut essen, auch kein Fremdling, der unter euch wohnt.
Por tanto, he dicho a los hijos de Israel: Ninguna persona de vosotros comerá sangre, ni el extranjero que peregrina entre vosotros comerá sangre.
Por eso he dicho a los hijos de Israel: ‘Ninguno de ustedes comerá sangre, ni el extranjero que reside entre ustedes comerá sangre’.
C'est pourquoi j'ai dit aux enfants d'Israël: Personne d'entre vous ne mangera du sang, et l'étranger qui séjourne au milieu de vous ne mangera pas du sang.
Perciò ho detto a’ figliuoli di Israele: Niuno di voi mangi sangue; il forestiere stesso, che dimora fra voi, non mangi sangue.
Portanto tenho dito aos filhos de Israel: Nenhum dentre vós comerá sangue, nem o estrangeiro, que peregrine entre vós, comerá sangue.
因此,我對 以色列 人說:你們都不可吃血;寄居在你們中間的外人也不可吃血。
