Dann werde ich ihnen bekennen: Ich habe euch noch nie erkannt; weichet alle von mir, ihr Übeltäter!
Y entonces les protestaré: Nunca os conocí; apartaos de mí, obradores de maldad.
Entonces les declararé: “Nunca los conocí. Apártense de mí, ustedes que practican la maldad”.
Alors je leur dirai ouvertement: Je ne vous ai jamais connus, retirez-vous de moi, vous qui commettez l'iniquité.
Ma io allora protesterò loro: Io non vi conobbi giammai; dipartitevi da me, voi tutti operatori d’iniquità.
E então lhes direi abertamente: Nunca vos conheci; apartai-vos de mim, vós que praticais a iniqüidade.
我要向他們宣告:『我從來不認識你們,你們這些作惡的人,給我走開!』」
