Hageo 2

Wie war es mit euch bestellt? Man kam zu einem Getreidehaufen von vermeintlich zwanzig Scheffeln, aber es gab nur zehn; man kam zur Kufe, um fünfzig Maß zu schöpfen, aber es gab nur zwanzig.

Antes que fuesen estas cosas, venían al montón de veinte hanegas, y había diez; venían al lagar para sacar cincuenta cántaros del lagar, y había veinte.

Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.

Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.
