Eure Rede aber sei: Ja, ja; nein, nein. Was darüber ist, das ist vom Übel.
Mas sea vuestro hablar: Sí, sí; No, no; porque lo que es más de esto, de mal procede.
Que su palabra sea: “Sí, sí; no, no”. Lo que pasa de esto procede del maligno.
Que votre parole soit oui, oui, non, non; ce qu'on y ajoute vient du malin.
Anzi, sia il vostro parlare: Sì, sì; no, no; ma ciò che è di soverchio sopra queste parole, procede dal maligno
Seja, porém, o vosso falar: Sim, sim; Não, não; porque o que passa disto é de procedência maligna.
你們的話,是,就說是;不是,就說不是。若再多說,就是出於那惡者。」
