Apacenté pues las ovejas de la matanza, es a saber, los pobres del rebaño. Y me tomé dos cayados; al uno puse por nombre Suavidad, y al otro Ataduras; y apacenté las ovejas.
Apacenté, pues, el rebaño destinado a la matanza, en particular a los pobres del rebaño. Tomé dos cayados: a uno lo llamé Favor y al otro Unión. Y apacenté el rebaño.
Alors je me mis à paître les brebis destinées à la boucherie, assurément les plus misérables du troupeau. Je pris deux houlettes: j'appelai l'une Grâce, et j'appelai l'autre Union. Et je fis paître les brebis.
Io adunque pasturai le pecore esposte ad uccisione, che son veramente le più povere della greggia; e mi presi due verghe; all’una posi nome: Piacevolezza, e all’altra posi nome: Vincoli; e pasturai la greggia.
Eu, pois, apascentei as ovelhas da matança, as pobres ovelhas do rebanho. Tomei para mim duas varas: a uma chamei Graça, e à outra chamei União; e apascentei as ovelhas.
