Original text and translations
German text
- Wenn ein starker Gewappneter seinen Palast bewahret,
- so bleibet das Seine mit Frieden.
- Aber: ein jeglich Reich, so es mit ihm selbst uneins wird,
- das wird wüste; und ein Haus fället über das andere.
- Luk.11,22/17b
English text
(literal translation)
- When a strong armed man guards his palace
- His property will remain in peace
- But any kingdom that is divided amongst itself
- Will be laid waste
- and one house will fall upon another...
- When a strong armed man guards his palace
- His property will remain in peace
