Denn wir wollen euch nicht verhalten, liebe Brüder, unsre Trübsal, die uns in Asien widerfahren ist, da wir über die Maßen beschwert waren und über Macht, also daß wir auch am Leben verzagten
Porque hermanos, no queremos que ignoréis de nuestra tribulación que nos fue hecha en Asia; que sobremanera fuimos cargados sobre nuestras fuerzas de tal manera que estuviésemos en duda de la vida.
Porque no queremos que ignoren, hermanos, la aflicción que nos sobrevino en Asia: fuimos abrumados de manera extraordinaria, más allá de nuestras fuerzas, hasta el punto de perder incluso la esperanza de seguir con vida.
Nous ne voulons pas, en effet, vous laisser ignorer, frères, au sujet de la tribulation qui nous est survenue en Asie, que nous avons été excessivement accablés, au delà de nos forces, de telle sorte que nous désespérions même de conserver la vie.
Perciocchè, fratelli, non vogliamo che ignoriate la nostra afflizione, che ci è avvenuta in Asia: come siamo stati sommamente gravati sopra le nostre forze; talchè siamo stati in gran dubbio, eziandio della vita.
Porque não queremos, irmãos, que ignoreis a tribulação que nos sobreveio na Ásia, pois que fomos sobremaneira agravados mais do que podíamos suportar, de modo tal que até da vida desesperamos.
弟兄們,我們不要你們不知道,我們從前在 亞細亞 遭遇苦難,因受到無法忍受的壓力,甚至連活命的指望都沒有了。
