| Cebuano | Busa sanglit kay ginayatakan ninyo ang mga kabus, ug nagapahamtang kaniya sa tubo nga trigo: nakatukod kamo sa mga balay nga sinapsapang bato, apan kamo dili makapuyo diha kanila; nagatanum kamo mga matahum nga kaparrasan, apan kamo dili makainum sa vino niana. |
| Croatian | Stoga, jer gazite siromaha, dižuæi od njega porez u žitu - u kuæama što ih sazdaste od tesanika nikad živjet' neæete; iz ljupkih vinograda što ih posadiste nikad neæete piti vina. |
