Ich will meinen Mund auftun zu Sprüchen und alte Geschichten aussprechen,
Abriré mi boca en parábola; Hablaré cosas reservadas de antiguo:
Abriré mi boca con una parábola; expondré enigmas de la antigüedad,
J'ouvre la bouche par des sentences, Je publie la sagesse des temps anciens.
Io aprirò la mia bocca in sentenza; Io sgorgherò detti notevoli di cose antiche;
Abrirei a minha boca numa parábola; falarei enigmas da antiguidade.
我要開口說比喻, 我要解開古時的謎語,
