Mt. 6:28-29 (heb, en, fr, es, pt)

א“כ על מה תדאגו בלבוש ראו חבצלת השרון החומש׃ 28

ואני אומר לכם שהמלך שלמה בכל כבודו לא היה מלובש כמוהו׃ 29

If this is the case, why are you anxious for clothes? Behold the lilies of Sharon (in growing they neither spin nor weave).

But I say to you that King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like these.

[Translation by Professor George Howard.]

Si tel est le cas, pourquoi êtes-vous inquiet pour les vêtements? Voici les lis de Sharon (en grandissant, ils ne filent ni ne tissent).

Mais je vous dis que le roi Salomon dans toute sa gloire n'était pas habillé comme ceux-ci.

Si este es el caso, ¿por qué estás ansioso por la ropa? He aquí los lirios de Sharon (al crecer no hilan ni tejen).

Pero te digo que el Rey Salomón en toda su gloria no estaba vestido así.

Se for esse o caso, por que você está ansioso por roupas? Veja os lírios de Sharon (no crescimento, eles não giram nem tecem).

Mas eu lhes digo que o rei Salomão, em toda a sua glória, não estava vestido assim.

Note: 

חבצלת השרון

is the exact same phrase that is used in the Masoretic text of Song of Songs 2:1. It means "lily of Sharon," and has nothing to do with "field," which is the translation in the Greek manuscripts. This is easily explained: "Sharon" (שרון)  in Hebrew has a superficial resemblance to two Hebrew words (שדה and שדמה) that mean "field." It is thus a translation variant in Greek, and is further proof that Greek Matthew was translated from Hebrew Matthew. This particular translation variant is not mentioned in Professor Howard's book.

This new illness is a message from Mother Earth. She is telling us to slow down, go easy, and respect her, because she needs to heal. All creatures in the world are needed and need to live. We must respect all of them, so that we all may live as one family. This world is one: we are all connected, and we need each other.

He Rises from the Depths of Other Worlds

He rises from the depths of other worlds,
no laurel for his brow.

Girded with strength and wisdom,
the heart's his compass now.

El corrido del gringo vagabundo

Ësta es mi tierra
en donde he nacido
y por muchos años
en paz he crecido.


Coro:
Soy jipi y soy gringo
y me llaman trotamundo
voy por todas partes
por ser vagabundo.

Pero también el mundo,
el mundo entero,
ha llegado a ser mi tierra
por ser vagabundo.

Coro. . . Soy jipi y soy gringo . . .

Empecé mi gran corrido
muy cerca de la frontera,
pasando por el norte,
y la europa entera.

Coro . . . Soy jipi y soy gringo . . .

Seis años en Uruguay vivía
una bendecida vida,
y luego volví al norte
hasta llegar a Florida.

Coro . . . Soy jipi . . .

Acá la paso bién
tomando una copa,
disfrutando mucho sol
y evitando la ropa.

Coro :
Soy jipi
y soy gringo
y me llaman trotamundo
voy por todas partes
por ser vagabundo.   (repetir)

[Sugerencia: guitarra y/o requinto, acordeón, tambor, y bajo. Tocar estilo norteño o tex-mex. Melodía: a escoger entre muchas melodías mexicanas que van muy bien con la letra.]
