Joel 2

Menge-Bibel 1939

17Zwischen der Vorhalle und dem Altar sollen die Priester, die Diener des HERRN, weinen und so beten: »Verschone, HERR, dein Volk und gib dein Erbe nicht der Schande preis, daß sie den Heiden zum Spott dienen! Warum soll man unter den Heidenvölkern sagen: ›Wo ist nun ihr Gott?‹«

Reina-Valera 1909

17Entre la entrada y el altar, lloren los sacerdotes, ministros de Jehová, y digan: Perdona, oh Jehová, á tu pueblo, y no pongas en oprobio tu heredad, para que las gentes se enseñoreen de ella. ¿Por qué han de decir entre los pueblos: Dónde está su Dios?

King James Version

17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?

World English Bible

17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
