So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

Wo sie nun eines andern Mannes wird, solange der Mann lebt, wird sie eine Ehebrecherin geheißen; so aber der Mann stirbt, ist sie frei vom Gesetz, daß sie nicht eine Ehebrecherin ist, wo sie eines andern Mannes wird.
Así que, viviendo el marido, se llamará adúltera si fuere de otro varón; mas si su marido muriere, es libre de la ley; de tal manera que no será adúltera si fuere de otro marido.
Así que, si se une a otro hombre mientras vive su esposo, será llamada adúltera. Pero, si el esposo muere, queda libre de la ley y no es adúltera al unirse a otro hombre.
Si donc, du vivant de son mari, elle devient la femme d'un autre homme, elle sera appelée adultère; mais si le mari meurt, elle est affranchie de la loi, de sorte qu'elle n'est point adultère en devenant la femme d'un autre.
Perciò, mentre vive il marito, ella sarà chiamata adultera, se divien moglie di un altro marito; ma, quando il marito è morto, ella è liberata da quella legge; talchè non è adultera, se divien moglie di un altro marito.
De sorte que, vivendo o marido, será chamada adúltera se for de outro marido; mas, morto o marido, livre está da lei, e assim não será adúltera, se for de outro marido.
所以丈夫還活著,她若跟了別的男人,就叫淫婦;丈夫若死了,她就脫離了律法,雖然跟了別的男人,也不是淫婦。
