Und wandelt nicht in den Satzungen der Heiden, die ich vor euch her werde ausstoßen. Denn solches alles haben sie getan, und ich habe einen Greuel an ihnen gehabt.
Y no andéis en las prácticas de la gente que yo echaré de delante de vosotros: porque ellos hicieron todas estas cosas, y los tuve en abominación.
Vous ne suivrez point les usages des nations que je vais chasser devant vous; car elles ont fait toutes ces choses, et je les ai en abomination.
E non procedete secondo i costumi della nazione che io scaccio dal vostro cospetto; perciocchè essi hanno fatte tutte queste cose; onde io li ho avuti in abbominio.
E não andeis nos costumes das nações que eu expulso de diante de vós, porque fizeram todas estas coisas; portanto fui enfadado deles.
我在你們面前所逐出的國民,你們不可隨從他們的風俗。因為他們行了這一切的事,所以我厭惡他們。
