Russian
РСП (66 кн.)
Человек не властен над духом, чтобы удержать дух, и нет власти у него над днем смерти, и нет избавления в этой борьбе, и не спасет нечестие нечестивого.
НРП
Человек не властен удержать ветер, так же как он не властен и над днем своей смерти. Воин не может получить увольнение во время битвы, и нечестивый не спасется своим нечестием.
Заокская (Кулаков)
И не властен человек над ветром, не может его удержать, не властен он и над временем собственной смерти, отпуска нет на войне, и не спасется злодей злодейством своим.
СП (БЛ)
Ни у кого нет власти удержать дух, и никто не властен остановить свою смерть. Во время войны солдат не может идти когда и куда угодно, и зло также не позволяет человеку быть свободным.
