Du sollst nicht rachgierig sein noch Zorn halten gegen die Kinder deines Volks. Du sollst deinen Nächsten lieben wie dich selbst; denn ich bin der HERR.
No te vengarás, ni guardarás rencor a los hijos de tu pueblo: mas amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo: Yo Jehová.
Tu ne te vengeras point, et tu ne garderas point de rancune contre les enfants de ton peuple. Tu aimeras ton prochain comme toi-même. Je suis l'Eternel.
Non far vendetta, e non serbare odio a quei del tuo popolo; anzi ama il tuo prossimo come te stesso. Io sono il Signore
Não te vingarás nem guardarás ira contra os filhos do teu povo; mas amarás o teu próximo como a ti mesmo. Eu sou o SENHOR.
不可報仇,也不可埋怨你本國的子民。你要愛鄰如己。我是耶和華。
