Darum sollt ihr meine Satzungen halten und meine Rechte. Denn welcher Mensch dieselben tut, der wird dadurch leben; denn ich bin der HERR.
Por tanto mis estatutos y mis derechos guardaréis, los cuales haciendo el hombre, vivirá en ellos: Yo Jehová.
Guardarán mis estatutos y mis ordenanzas; quien los cumpla vivirá por ellos. Yo soy Jehová.
Vous observerez mes lois et mes ordonnances: l'homme qui les mettra en pratique vivra par elles. Je suis l'Eternel.
Io sono il Signore Iddio vostro. Osservate, dico, i miei statuti, e le mie leggi; le quali chiunque metterà in opera viverà per esse. Io sono il Signore
Portanto, os meus estatutos e os meus juízos guardareis; os quais, observando-os o homem, viverá por eles. Eu sou o SENHOR.
你們要謹守我的律例典章;遵行的人就必因此得生。我是耶和華。
