dieweil sie wußten, daß ein Gott ist, und haben ihn nicht gepriesen als einen Gott noch ihm gedankt, sondern sind in ihrem Dichten eitel geworden, und ihr unverständiges Herz ist verfinstert.
Porque habiendo conocido a Dios, no le glorificaron como a Dios, ni dieron gracias; antes se desvanecieron en sus discursos, y el necio corazón de ellos fue entenebrecido.
Porque, aunque conocieron a Dios, no lo glorificaron como a Dios ni le dieron gracias. Al contrario, se volvieron vanos en sus razonamientos y su corazón insensato se oscureció.
puisque ayant connu Dieu, ils ne l'ont point glorifié comme Dieu, et ne lui ont point rendu grâces; mais ils se sont égarés dans leurs pensées, et leur coeur sans intelligence a été plongé dans les ténèbres.
Perciocchè, avendo conosciuto Iddio, non però l’hanno glorificato, nè ringraziato, come Dio; anzi sono invaniti nei lor ragionamenti, e l’insensato lor cuore è stato intenebrato.
Porquanto, tendo conhecido a Deus, não o glorificaram como Deus, nem lhe deram graças, antes em seus discursos se desvaneceram, e o seu coração insensato se obscureceu.
因為,他們雖然知道上帝,卻不把他當作上帝榮耀他,也不感謝他。他們的思想變為虛妄,無知的心昏暗了。
