FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous n’avons envoyé aucun apôtre qui n’ait parlé dans la langue de son peuple pour lui parler clairement. Dieu ensuite égare celui qu’il veut, et dirige celui qu’il veut. Il est le Puissant, le Sage.

Non abbiamo mandato alcun apostolo, che non abbia parlato la lingua del suo popolo. Quindi Dio smarrisce chi vuole e dirige chi vuole: Egli è il Possente, il Savio.
