Zachäus aber trat dar und sprach zu dem HERRN: Siehe, HERR, die Hälfte meiner Güter gebe ich den Armen, und so ich jemand betrogen habe, das gebe ich vierfältig wieder.
Entonces Zaqueo, puesto en pie, dijo al Señor: He aquí, Señor, la mitad de mis bienes doy a los pobres; y si en algo he defraudado a alguno, lo vuelvo con el cuatro tanto.
Mais Zachée, se tenant devant le Seigneur, lui dit: Voici, Seigneur, je donne aux pauvres la moitié de mes biens, et, si j'ai fait tort de quelque chose à quelqu'un, je lui rends le quadruple.
E Zaccheo, presentatosi al Signore, gli disse: Signore, io dono la metà di tutti i miei beni a’ poveri; e se ho frodato alcuno, io gliene fo la restituzione a quattro doppi.
E, levantando-se Zaqueu, disse ao Senhor: Senhor, eis que eu dou aos pobres metade dos meus bens; e, se nalguma coisa tenho defraudado alguém, o restituo quadruplicado.
