Reina-Valera 1909
Ahora pues, no os engañe Ezechîas, ni os persuada tal cosa, ni le creáis; que si ningún dios de todas aquellas naciones y reinos pudo librar su pueblo de mis manos, y de las manos de mis padres, ¿cuánto menos vuestro Dios os podrá librar de mi mano?
French
Bible J.N. Darby 1885
Et maintenant, qu’Ézéchias ne vous trompe pas, et qu’il ne vous séduise pas de cette manière, et ne le croyez pas; car aucun dieu d’aucune nation ni d’aucun royaume n’a pu délivrer son peuple de ma main ni de la main de mes pères; combien moins votre Dieu vous délivrera-t-il de ma main!

Und nun, daß euch Hiskia nicht täusche, und daß er euch nicht auf solche Weise verführe! und glaubet ihm nicht! Denn kein Gott irgend einer Nation und irgend eines Königreiches hat sein Volk aus meiner Hand und aus der Hand meiner Väter zu erretten vermocht; wieviel weniger wird euer Gott euch aus meiner Hand erretten!

non vos ergo decipiat Ezechias, nec vana persuasione deludat, neque credatis ei. Si enim nullus potuit deus cunctarum gentium atque regnorum liberare populum suum de manu mea, et de manu patrum meorum, consequenter nec Deus vester poterit eruere vos de manu mea.
