Verflucht sei der Betrüger, der in seiner Herde ein Männlein hat, und wenn er ein Gelübde tut, opfert er dem HERR ein untüchtiges. Denn ich bin ein großer König, spricht der HERR Zebaoth, und mein Name ist schrecklich unter den Heiden.
Maldito el engañoso, que tiene macho en su rebaño, y promete, y sacrifica lo dañado a Jehová: porque yo soy Gran Rey, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y mi nombre es formidable entre las gentes.
¡Maldito sea el engañador que tiene un macho en su rebaño y hace un voto, pero sacrifica al Señor un animal defectuoso! Porque yo soy un gran Rey —dice Jehová de los ejércitos— y mi nombre es temible entre las naciones».
Maudit soit le trompeur qui a dans son troupeau un mâle, Et qui voue et sacrifie au Seigneur une bête chétive! Car je suis un grand roi, dit l'Eternel des armées, Et mon nom est redoutable parmi les nations.
Or maledetto sia il frodolente, il quale, avendo nella sua mandra un maschio, vota, e sacrifica al Signore un animale difettoso; conciossiachè io sia il gran Re, ha detto il Signor degli eserciti; e il mio Nome sia tremendo fra le genti
Pois seja maldito o enganador que, tendo macho no seu rebanho, promete e oferece ao Senhor o que tem mácula; porque eu sou grande Rei, diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o meu nome é temível entre os gentios.
行詭詐的人是可詛咒的!他的群畜中雖有公羊,他許了願,卻將有殘疾的獻給主。因我是大君王,我的名在列國中是可畏的。這是萬軍之耶和華說的。」
