Euch aber will ich unter die Heiden streuen, und das Schwert ausziehen hinter euch her, daß euer Land soll wüst sein und eure Städte verstört.
Y a vosotros os esparciré por las gentes, y desenvainaré espada en pos de vosotros: y vuestra tierra estará asolada, y yermas vuestras ciudades.
Je vous disperserai parmi les nations et je tirerai l'épée après vous. Votre pays sera dévasté, et vos villes seront désertes.
E, quant’è a voi, io vi disperderò fra le genti, e vi sarò dietro a spada tratta; e il vostro paese sarà deserto, e le vostre città desolate.
E espalhar-vos-ei entre as nações, e desembainharei a espada atrás de vós; e a vossa terra será assolada, e as vossas cidades serão desertas.
我要把你們驅散到列國中,也要拔刀追趕你們。你們的地要成為荒涼,你們的城鎮要變成廢墟。
