und sprach: "Darum wird ein Mensch Vater und Mutter verlassen und an seinem Weibe hangen, und werden die zwei ein Fleisch sein"?
Y dijo: Por tanto, el hombre dejará padre y madre, y se unirá a su mujer, y serán dos en una carne?
y dijo: “Por esto el hombre dejará a su padre y a su madre y se unirá a su esposa, y los dos serán una sola carne”?
et qu'il dit: C'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère, et s'attachera à sa femme, et les deux deviendront une seule chair?
E disse: Perciò, l’uomo lascerà il padre e la madre, e si congiungerà con la sua moglie, e i due diverranno una stessa carne.
E disse: Portanto, deixará o homem pai e mãe, e se unirá a sua mulher, e serão dois numa só carne?
