    begnüge dich damit, dunkel gut zu sein. Wenn das Laster herrscht und gottlose Männer herrschen, ist der Ehrenposten eine private Station.

    contentate con ser oscuramente bueno. Cuando prevalece el vicio, y los hombres impíos dominan, el puesto de honor es una estación privada.

    خود را محتوا کنید تا مبهم خوب باشد. هنگامی که نایب غالب می شود ، و مردان نجیب متضرر می شوند ، پست افتخار یک ایستگاه خصوصی است.

    自分自身を曖昧にして満足している。悪徳が蔓延し、不敬な男たちが支配するとき、名誉のポストは私的な駅です。

    당신 자신이 모호하게 좋은 것으로 만족하십시오. 악이 우세하고 악의적 인 사람들이 흔들리면 명예의 전당은 사유 소입니다.

    innhold deg selv for å være utydelig god. når vice hersker, og ondskapsfulle menn bærer sving, er ærestillingen en privat stasjon.

    довольствуйся тем, чтобы быть непонятно хорошим когда преобладает порок и господствуют нечестивые люди, почетный пост - это частный пост.

    滿足於自己的美好。當惡行盛行,無禮的人佔據主導地位時,榮譽職位是一個私人職位。
