Porque los hijos de Israel son siervos míos; son mis siervos, a quienes saqué de la tierra de Egipto. Yo soy Jehová su Dios”».
Car c'est de moi que les enfants d'Israël sont esclaves; ce sont mes esclaves, que j'ai fait sortir du pays d'Egypte. Je suis l'Eternel, votre Dieu.
Conciossiachè i figliuoli d’Israele mi sieno servi; sono miei servi, avendoli io tratti fuor del paese di Egitto. Io sono il Signore Iddio vostro
Porque os filhos de Israel me são servos; meus servos são eles, que tirei da terra do Egito. Eu sou o SENHOR vosso Deus.
