For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.

Denn vor diesen Tagen war der Menschen Arbeit vergebens, und der Tiere Arbeit war nichts, und war kein Friede vor Trübsal denen, die aus und ein zogen; sondern ich ließ alle Menschen gehen, einen jeglichen wider seinen Nächsten.
Porque antes de estos días no ha habido paga de hombre, ni paga de bestia, ni hubo paz alguna para entrante ni para saliente, a causa del enemigo: y yo dejé todos los hombres, cada cual contra su compañero.
Antes de aquellos días no había paga para el ser humano ni paga para el animal, y no había seguridad para el que salía ni para el que entraba, a causa del enemigo. Yo había puesto a todos unos contra otros.
Car avant ce temps, le travail de l'homme ne recevait pas sa récompense, et le salaire des bêtes était nul; il n'y avait point de paix pour ceux qui entraient et sortaient, à cause de l'ennemi, et je lâchais tous les hommes les uns contre les autres.
Perciocchè, avanti questi giorni, non vi era alcun premio nè per uomini, nè per bestie e non vi era alcuna pace a chi andava, e veniva, per cagion del nemico; ed io mandava tutti gli uomini l’uno contro all’altro;
Porque antes destes dias não tem havido salário para os homens, nem lhes davam ganhos os animais; nem havia paz para o que entrava nem para o que saía, por causa do inimigo, porque eu incitei a todos os homens, cada um contra o seu próximo.
那些日子以前,人得不著工價,牲畜也無人雇用;且因敵人的緣故,出入不得平安;因我使人與人互相攻擊。
