Nicht sage ich das des Mangels halben; denn ich habe gelernt, worin ich bin, mir genügen zu lassen.
No lo digo en razón de indigencia, pues he aprendido a contentarme con lo que tengo.
No lo digo porque esté pasando necesidad, pues he aprendido a estar contento en cualquier situación en que me encuentre.
Ce n'est pas en vue de mes besoins que je dis cela, car j'ai appris à être content de l'état où je me trouve.
Io nol dico, perchè io abbia mancamento; perciocchè io ho imparato ad esser contento nello stato nel qual mi trovo.
Não digo isto como por necessidade, porque já aprendi a contentar-me com o que tenho.
我並不是因缺乏而說這話,因為我已經學會無論在甚麼景況都可以知足。
