TRANSLATIONS Becker Als sein Vater starb, erhoben sich die Nichtgläubigen in kriegerischer Absicht gegen ihn; er aber, fest auf Gott vertrauend, unterwarf sie sich selber mit starker Hand. Van Houts After the death of his father, the pagans rose in war against him; firmly trusting in God he subdued them with a strong force.
