Ich hatte euch viel zu schreiben, aber ich wollte nicht mit Briefen und Tinte; sondern ich hoffe, zu euch zu kommen und mündlich mit euch reden, auf daß unsere Freude vollkommen sei.
Aunque tengo muchas cosas que escribiros, no he querido comunicarlas por medio de papel y tinta; mas espero ir a vosotros, y hablar boca a boca, para que nuestro gozo sea cumplido.
Aunque tengo muchas cosas que escribirles, no he querido hacerlo con papel y tinta. Espero estar con ustedes y hablar cara a cara, para que la alegría de ustedes sea completa.
Quoique j'eusse beaucoup de choses à vous écrire, je n'ai pas voulu le faire avec le papier et l'encre; mais j'espère aller chez vous, et vous parler bouche à bouche, afin que notre joie soit parfaite.
Benchè io avessi molte cose da scrivervi, pur non ho voluto farlo per carta, e per inchiostro; ma spero di venire a voi, e parlarvi a bocca; acciocchè la vostra allegrezza sia compiuta.
Tendo muito que escrever-vos, não quis fazê-lo com papel e tinta; mas espero ir ter convosco e falar face a face, para que o nosso gozo seja cumprido.
我還有許多事要寫給你們,卻不願意用紙用墨,但盼望到你們那裏,與你們面對面談論,使我們的喜樂得以滿足。
