Und ich sprach: Höret doch, ihr Häupter im Hause Jakob und ihr Fürsten im Hause Israel! Ihr solltet's billig sein, die das Recht wüßten.
Y dije: Oíd ahora, príncipes de Jacob, y cabezas de la casa de Israel: ¿No pertenecía a vosotros saber el derecho?
Je dis: Ecoutez, chefs de Jacob, Et princes de la maison d'Israël! N'est-ce pas à vous à connaître la justice?
OR io ho detto: Deh! ascoltate, capi di Giacobbe, e voi conduttori della casa d’Israele: Non vi si appartiene egli di conoscer la dirittura?
E DISSE eu: Ouvi, peço-vos, ó chefes de Jacó, e vós, príncipes da casa de Israel; não é a vós que pertence saber o juízo?
於是我說: 雅各 的領袖, 以色列 家的官長啊, 你們要聽! 你們豈不知道公平嗎?
