und seid gleich den Menschen, die auf ihren HERRN warten, wann er aufbrechen wird von der Hochzeit, auf daß, wenn er kommt und anklopft, sie ihm alsbald auftun.
Y vosotros semejantes a hombres que esperan cuando su señor ha de volver de las bodas; para que cuando viniere, y llamare, luego le abran.
y sean como hombres que esperan a que su señor regrese de la boda, para abrirle enseguida cuando llegue y llame.
Et vous, soyez semblables à des hommes qui attendent que leur maître revienne des noces, afin de lui ouvrir dès qu'il arrivera et frappera.
E voi, siate simili a coloro che aspettano il lor signore, quando egli ritornerà dalle nozze; acciocchè, quando egli verrà, e picchierà, subito gli aprano.
E sede vós semelhantes aos homens que esperam o seu senhor, quando houver de voltar das bodas, para que, quando vier, e bater, logo possam abrir-lhe.
好像僕人等候自己的主人從婚宴上回來。他來叩門,就立刻給他開門。
