Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und es wird geschehen, gleichwie der Hungrige träumt, und siehe, er ißt und er wacht auf, und seine Seele ist leer; und gleichwie der Durstige träumt, und siehe, er trinkt und er wacht auf, und siehe, er ist matt und seine Seele lechzt: also wird die Menge all der Nationen sein, welche Krieg führen wider den Berg Zion.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y será como el que tiene hambre y sueña, y parece que come; mas cuando despierta, su alma está vacía; ó como el que tiene sed y sueña, y parece que bebe; mas cuando se despierta, hállase cansado, y su alma sedienta: así será la multitud de todas las gentes que pelearán contra el monte de Sión.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Será também como um faminto que sonha estar comendo, porém, ao acordar, sua alma está vazia; ou como o sedento que sonha estar bebendo, porém, ao acordar, eis que está fraco e com sede na alma; assim será toda a multidão de nações que batalharem contra o monte de Sião.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Será como um homem faminto que sonha que está comendo, porém, quando acorda, seu estômago está vazio. Será como um homem sedento que sonha que está bebendo, porém, quando acorda, está ofegante com sua sede ainda não saciada. Sim, assim será também a multidão das nações que lutam contra o monte Sião.
