Und alles Volk, das im Tor war, samt den Ältesten sprachen: Wir sind Zeugen. Der HERR mache das Weib, das in dein Haus kommt, wie Rahel und Leah, die beide das Haus Israels gebaut haben; und wachse sehr in Ephratha und werde gepriesen zu Bethlehem.
Y dijeron todos los del pueblo que estaban a la puerta con los ancianos: Testigos somos. Jehová haga a la mujer que entra en tu casa como a Rachêl y a Lea, las cuales dos edificaron la casa de Israel; y tú seas ilustre en Ephrata, y tengas nombradía en Beth-lehem;
Todo el pueblo que estaba a la puerta y los ancianos respondieron: «Somos testigos. Que Jehová haga a la mujer que entra en tu casa como Raquel y Lea, las dos que edificaron la casa de Israel. Que prosperes en Efrata y alcances renombre en Belén.
Tout le peuple qui était à la porte et les anciens dirent: Nous en sommes témoins! Que l'Eternel rende la femme qui entre dans ta maison semblable à Rachel et à Léa, qui toutes les deux ont bâti la maison d'Israël! Manifeste ta force dans Ephrata, et fais-toi un nom dans Bethléhem!
E tutto il popolo ch’era nella porta, e gli Anziani, dissero: Sì, noi ne siamo testimoni. Il Signore faccia che la moglie, ch’entra in casa tua, sia come Rachele e come Lea, le quali edificarono amendue la casa d’Israele; fatti pur possente in Efrata, e fa’ che il tuo nome sia celebrato in Bet-lehem.
E todo o povo que estava na porta, e os anciãos, disseram: Somos testemunhas; o SENHOR faça a esta mulher, que entra na tua casa, como a Raquel e como a Lia, que ambas edificaram a casa de Israel; e porta-te valorosamente em Efrata, e faze-te nome afamado em Belém.
在城門坐著的所有百姓和長老說:「我們都是證人。願耶和華使進你家的這女子,像建立 以色列 家的 拉結 和 利亞 二人一樣。又願你在 以法他 得亨通,在 伯利恆 有名聲。
