¿µ¾î¼º°æ
But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth.
King James
¿µ¾î¼º°æ
All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Louis Second
ºÒ¾î¼º°æ
Tout arrive également à tous; même sort pour le juste et pour le méchant, pour celui qui est bon et pur et pour celui qui est impur, pour celui qui sacrifie et pour celui qui ne sacrifie pas; il en est du bon comme du pécheur, de celui qui jure comme de celui qui craint de jurer
Martin Luther
µ¶¾î¼º°æ
Es begegnet einem wie dem andern, dem Gerechten wie dem Gottlosen, dem Guten und Reinen wie dem Unreinen, dem der opfert, wie dem, der nicht opfert. Wie es dem Guten gehet, so gehet es auch dem Sünder. Wie es dem Meineidigen gehet, so gehet es auch dem, der den Eid fürchtet.
Vulgate
¶óƾ¾î¼º°æ
sed omnia in futuro servantur incerta eo quod universa aeque eveniant iusto et impio bono et malo mundo et inmundo immolanti victimas et sacrificia contemnenti sicut bonus sic et peccator ut periurus ita et ille qui verum deierat
