Da sprach der König: Was forderst du denn? da betete ich zu dem Gott des Himmels
Y díjome el rey: ¿Qué cosa pides? Entonces oré al Dios de los cielos,
Et le roi me dit: Que demandes-tu? Je priai le Dieu des cieux,
E il re mi disse: Che chiedi tu? Allora io pregai l’Iddio del cielo;
E o rei me disse: Que me pedes agora? Então orei ao Deus dos céus,
王對我說:「你想求甚麼?」於是我向天上的上帝祈禱。
