Ich kann niedrig sein und kann hoch sein; ich bin in allen Dingen und bei allen geschickt, beides, satt sein und hungern, beides, übrighaben und Mangel leiden.
Sé estar humillado, y sé tener abundancia: en todo y por todo estoy enseñado, así para hartura como para hambre, así para tener abundancia como para padecer necesidad.
Sé vivir con poco y sé vivir en abundancia. En toda circunstancia y en todas las cosas he aprendido el secreto, tanto de estar saciado como de pasar hambre, de tener abundancia como de padecer necesidad.
Je sais vivre dans l'humiliation, et je sais vivre dans l'abondance. En tout et partout j'ai appris à être rassasié et à avoir faim, à être dans l'abondance et à être dans la disette.
Io so essere abbassato, so altresì abbondare; in tutto, e per tutto sono ammaestrato ad esser saziato, e ad aver fame; ad abbondare, ed a sofferir mancamento.
Sei estar abatido, e sei também ter abundância; em toda a maneira, e em todas as coisas estou instruído, tanto a ter fartura, como a ter fome; tanto a ter abundância, como a padecer necessidade.
我知道怎樣處卑賤,也知道怎樣處豐富;或飽足或飢餓,或有餘或缺乏,任何事情,任何景況,我都得了祕訣。
