Und wenn ihr betet, sollt ihr nicht viel plappern wie die Heiden; denn sie meinen, sie werden erhört, wenn sie viel Worte machen.
Y orando, no seáis prolijos, como los Gentiles; que piensan que por su parlería serán oídos.
Al orar, no usen repeticiones vacías como los paganos, que piensan que serán escuchados por sus muchas palabras.
En priant, ne multipliez pas de vaines paroles, comme les païens, qui s'imaginent qu'à force de paroles ils seront exaucés.
Ora, quando farete orazione, non usate soverchie dicerie, come i pagani; perciocchè pensano di essere esauditi per la moltitudine delle lor parole.
E, orando, não useis de vãs repetições, como os gentios, que pensam que por muito falarem serão ouvidos.
你們禱告,不可像外邦人那樣重複一些空話,他們以為話多了必蒙垂聽。
