Lucas 14

Che talora, avendo posto il fondamento, e non potendola finire, tutti coloro che la vedranno non prendano a beffarlo, dicendo:

Porque después que haya puesto el fundamento, y no pueda acabarla, todos los que lo vieren, no comiencen á hacer burla de él,

Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

Or perhaps, when he has laid a foundation and isn’t able to finish, everyone who sees begins to mock him,
