Du sollst deines Vaters und deiner Mutter Blöße nicht aufdecken; es ist deine Mutter, darum sollst du ihre Blöße nicht aufdecken.
La desnudez de tu padre, o la desnudez de tu madre, no descubrirás: tu madre es, no descubrirás su desnudez.
No descubrirás la desnudez de tu padre ni la desnudez de tu madre. Ella es tu madre; no descubrirás su desnudez.
Tu ne découvriras point la nudité de ton père, ni la nudité de ta mère. C'est ta mère: tu ne découvriras point sa nudité.
Non iscoprir le vergogne di tuo padre, nè le vergogne di tua madre: ell’è tua madre; non iscoprir le sue vergogne.
Não descobrirás a nudez de teu pai e de tua mãe: ela é tua mãe; não descobrirás a sua nudez.
你父親的下體,就是你母親的下體,你不可露;她是你的母親,不可露她的下體。
