| Danish | På den Dag sagde David: "Enhver, som trænger frem til Vandledningen og slår en Jebusit, de halte og blinde, som Davids Sjæl hader, skal være Øverste og Hærfører". Derfor siger man: "En blind og en lam kommer ikke ind i Huset!" |
| Dutch | Want David zeide ten zelfden dage: Al wie de Jebusieten slaat, en geraakt aan die watergoot, en die kreupelen, en die blinden, die van Davids ziel gehaat zijn, die zal tot een hoofd en tot een overste zijn; daarom zegt men: Een blinde en kreupele zal in het huis niet komen. |
| Finnish | Ja Daavid sanoi sinä päivänä: "Jokainen, joka surmaa jebusilaisen ja tunkeutuu vesijohdolle asti, hän voittaa ne sokeat ja ontuvat, joita Daavid vihaa". Sentähden on tapana sanoa: "Sokea ja ontuva älköön tulko taloon". |
| French | David avait dit en ce jour: Quiconque battra les Jébusiens et atteindra le canal, quiconque frappera ces boiteux et ces aveugles qui sont les ennemis de David... -C`est pourquoi l`on dit: L`aveugle et le boiteux n`entreront point dans la maison. |

| Norwegian | Den dag sa David: Hver den som slår jebusittene og trenger frem til vannledningen og slår de lamme og blinde som hater David [han skal være høvding og fører]. Derav kommer det ord: En blind og en lam skal ikke komme inn i huset. |
| Portuguese | Ora, Davi disse naquele dia: Todo o que ferir os jebuseus, suba ao canal, e fira a esses coxos e cegos, a quem a alma de Davi aborrece. Por isso se diz: Nem cego nem, coxo entrara na casa. |

| Swedish | Och David sade på den dagen: "Vemhelst som slår ihjäl en jebusé och tränger fram till vattenledningen, han slår ihjäl just dessa halta och blinda, som David hatar." Därför plägar man säga: "Ingen blind och halt må komma in i huset." |
