Sei willfährig deinem Widersacher bald, dieweil du noch bei ihm auf dem Wege bist, auf daß dich der Widersacher nicht dermaleinst überantworte dem Richter, und der Richter überantworte dich dem Diener, und wirst in den Kerker geworfen.
Concíliate con tu adversario presto, entre tanto que estás con Él en el camino; porque no acontezca que el adversario te entregue al juez, y el juez te entregue al alguacil, y seas echado en prisión.
Ponte pronto de acuerdo con tu adversario mientras vas con él por el camino, no sea que te entregue al juez, y el juez al guardia, y seas arrojado a la cárcel.
Accorde-toi promptement avec ton adversaire, pendant que tu es en chemin avec lui, de peur qu'il ne te livre au juge, que le juge ne te livre à l'officier de justice, et que tu ne sois mis en prison.
Fa’ presto amichevole accordo col tuo avversario, mentre sei tra via con lui; che talora il tuo avversario non ti dia in mano del giudice, e il giudice ti dia in mano del sergente, e sii cacciato in prigione.
Concilia-te depressa com o teu adversário, enquanto estás no caminho com ele, para que não aconteça que o adversário te entregue ao juiz, e o juiz te entregue ao oficial, e te encerrem na prisão.
你同告你的冤家還在路上,就要趕快與他講和,免得他把你送交給法官,法官交給警衛,你就下在監裏了。
