Ihr sollt euch nicht Schätze sammeln auf Erden, da sie die Motten und der Rost fressen und da die Diebe nachgraben und stehlen.
No os hagáis tesoros en la tierra, donde la polilla y el orín corrompe, y donde ladronas minan y hurtan;
No acumulen tesoros para ustedes en la tierra, donde la polilla y el óxido destruyen y donde los ladrones abren boquetes y roban.
Ne vous amassez pas des trésors sur la terre, où la teigne et la rouille détruisent, et où les voleurs percent et dérobent;
NON vi fate tesori in sulla terra, ove la tignuola e la ruggine guastano, e dove i ladri sconficcano e rubano.
Não ajunteis tesouros na terra, onde a traça e a ferrugem tudo consomem, e onde os ladrões minam e roubam;
「不要為自己在地上積蓄財寶;地上有蟲子咬,能銹壞,也有賊挖洞來偷。
