Weh euch, die ihr voll seid! denn euch wird hungern. Weh euch, die ihr hier lachet! denn ihr werdet weinen und heulen.
¡Ay de vosotros, los que estáis hartos! porque tendréis hambre. ¡Ay de vosotros, los que ahora reís! porque lamentaréis y lloraréis.
¡Ay de ustedes los que ahora están saciados, porque tendrán hambre! ¡Ay de los que ahora ríen, porque se lamentarán y llorarán!
Malheur à vous qui êtes rassasiés, car vous aurez faim! Malheur à vous qui riez maintenant, car vous serez dans le deuil et dans les larmes!
Guai a voi, che siete ripieni! perciocchè voi avrete fame. Guai a voi, che ora ridete! perciocchè voi farete cordoglio, e piangerete.
Ai de vós, os que estais fartos, porque tereis fome. Ai de vós, os que agora rides, porque vos lamentareis e chorareis.
你們現在飽足的人有禍了! 因為你們將要飢餓。 你們現在歡笑的人有禍了! 因為你們將要哀慟哭泣。
