und sprachen zu ihm: Hörst du auch, was diese sagen? Jesus sprach zu ihnen: Ja! Habt ihr nie gelesen: "Aus dem Munde der Unmündigen und Säuglinge hast du Lob zugerichtet"?
Y le dijeron: ¿Oyes lo que éstos dicen? Y Jesús les dice: Sí: ¿nunca leísteis: De la boca de los niños y de los que maman perfeccionaste la alabanza?
Ils lui dirent: Entends-tu ce qu'ils disent? Oui, leur répondit Jésus. N'avez-vous jamais lu ces paroles: Tu as tiré des louanges de la bouche des enfants et de ceux qui sont à la mamelle?
E gli dissero: Odi tu ciò che costoro dicono? E Gesù disse loro: Sì. Non avete voi mai letto: Dalla bocca de’ fanciulli, e di que’ che poppano, tu hai stabilita la tua lode?
E disseram-lhe: Ouves o que estes dizem? E Jesus lhes disse: Sim; nunca lestes: Pela boca dos meninos e das criancinhas de peito tiraste o perfeito louvor?
對他說:「這些人所喊的,你聽到了嗎?」耶穌對他們說:「聽到了。經上說:『你藉孩童和吃奶的口發出完全的讚美』,你們沒有念過嗎?」
