Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

Ihr seid das Salz der Erde. Wo nun das Salz dumm wird, womit soll man's salzen? Es ist hinfort zu nichts nütze, denn das man es hinausschütte und lasse es die Leute zertreten.
Vosotros sois la sal de la tierra: y si la sal se desvaneciere ¿con qué será salada? no vale más para nada, sino para ser echada fuera y hollada de los hombres.
Ustedes son la sal de la tierra. Pero si la sal pierde su sabor, ¿con qué se la salará? Ya no sirve para nada, excepto para ser arrojada fuera y pisoteada por la gente.
Vous êtes le sel de la terre. Mais si le sel perd sa saveur, avec quoi la lui rendra-t-on? Il ne sert plus qu'à être jeté dehors, et foulé aux pieds par les hommes.
VOI siete il sale della terra; ora, se il sale diviene insipido, con che lo si salerà egli? non val più a nulla, se non ad esser gettato via, e ad essere calpestato dagli uomini.
Vós sois o sal da terra; e se o sal for insípido, com que se há de salgar? Para nada mais presta senão para se lançar fora, e ser pisado pelos homens.
「你們是地上的鹽。鹽若失了味,怎能叫它再鹹呢?它不再有用,只好被丟在外面,任人踐踏。
