dieweil aber mir diese Witwe so viel Mühe macht, will ich sie retten, auf daß sie nicht zuletzt komme und betäube mich.
Todavía, porque esta viuda me es molesta, le haré justicia, porque al fin no venga y me muela.
como esta viuda me está molestando, le haré justicia, para que no acabe agotándome con sus constantes visitas”».
néanmoins, parce que cette veuve m'importune, je lui ferai justice, afin qu'elle ne vienne pas sans cesse me rompre la tête.
nondimeno, perciocchè questa vedova mi dà molestia, io le farò ragione; che talora non venga tante volte che alla fine mi stanchi.
Todavia, como esta viúva me molesta, hei de fazer-lhe justiça, para que enfim não volte, e me importune muito.
只因這寡婦煩擾我,我就給她伸冤吧,免得她常來糾纏我。』」
