Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

Y yo dije: ¿Qué vienen éstos a hacer? Y respondiome, diciendo: Estos son los cuernos que aventaron a Judá, tanto que ninguno alzó su cabeza; mas éstos han venido para hacerlos temblar, para derribar los cuernos de las gentes, que alzaron el cuerno sobre la tierra de Judá para aventarla.
Pregunté: «¿Qué vienen a hacer estos?». Él respondió: «Aquellos son los cuernos que dispersaron a Judá, de modo que nadie podía levantar la cabeza. Pero estos han venido a aterrorizarlos, a derribar los cuernos de las naciones que alzaron su cuerno contra la tierra de Judá para dispersarla».
Je dis: Que viennent-ils faire? Et il dit: Ce sont les cornes qui ont dispersé Juda, tellement que nul ne lève la tête; et ces forgerons sont venus pour les effrayer, et pour abattre les cornes des nations qui ont levé la corne contre le pays de Juda, afin d'en disperser les habitants.
Ed io dissi: Che vengono a far costoro? Ed egli rispose, e disse: Quelle son le corna, che han dissipato Giuda, secondo che niuno ha alzato il capo; ma costoro son venuti per dar loro lo spavento; per abbatter le corna delle genti, che hanno alzato il corno contro al paese di Giuda per dissiparlo
Então eu disse: Que vêm estes fazer? E ele falou, dizendo: Estes são os chifres que dispersaram a Judá, de maneira que ninguém pôde levantar a sua cabeça; estes, pois, vieram para os amedrontarem, para derrubarem os chifres dos gentios que levantaram o seu poder contra a terra de Judá, para a espalharem.
我問:「這些人來做甚麼呢?」他說:「那是擊散 猶大 的角,使人不敢抬頭;但這些匠人前來威嚇列國,打掉列國的角,因為他們舉起角來擊散 猶大 地。」
