Aber Gott sprach zu ihm: Du Narr! diese Nacht wird man deine Seele von dir fordern; und wes wird's sein, das du bereitet hast?
Y díjole Dios: Necio, esta noche vuelven a pedir tu alma; y lo que has prevenido, ¿de quién será?
Mais Dieu lui dit: Insensé! cette nuit même ton âme te sera redemandée; et ce que tu as préparé, pour qui cela sera-t-il?
Ma Iddio gli disse: Stolto, questa stessa notte, l’anima tua ti sarà ridomandata; e di cui saranno le cose che tu hai apparecchiate?
Mas Deus lhe disse: Louco! esta noite te pedirão a tua alma; e o que tens preparado, para quem será?
上帝卻對他說:『無知的人哪!今夜就要你的性命,你所預備的要歸誰呢?』
