Und er sprach zu ihnen: Zündet man auch ein Licht an, daß man es unter einen Scheffel oder unter einen Tisch setze? Mitnichten, sondern daß man's auf einen Leuchter setze.
También les dijo: ¿Tráese la antorcha para ser puesta debajo del almud, o debajo de la cama? ¿No es para ser puesta en el candelero?
También les decía: «¿Acaso se trae una lámpara para ponerla debajo de una canasta o debajo de la cama? ¿No es para ponerla sobre el candelero?
Il leur dit encore: Apporte-t-on la lampe pour la mettre sous le boisseau, ou sous le lit? N'est-ce pas pour la mettre sur le chandelier?
DISSE loro ancora: È la lampana recata, acciocchè si ponga sotto il moggio, o sotto il letto? non è ella recata, acciocchè sia posta sopra il candelliere?
E disse-lhes: Vem porventura a candeia para se meter debaixo do alqueire, ou debaixo da cama? não vem antes para se colocar no velador?
耶穌又對他們說:「人拿燈來,難道是要放在斗底下,床底下,而不放在燈臺上嗎?
