Aber je mehr sie das Volk drückten, je mehr es sich mehrte und ausbreitete. Und sie hielten die Kinder Israel wie einen Greuel.
Empero cuanto más los oprimían, tanto más se multiplicaban y crecían: así que estaban ellos fastidiados de los hijos de Israel.
Mais plus on l'accablait, plus il multipliait et s'accroissait; et l'on prit en aversion les enfants d'Israël.
Ma quanto più l’affliggevano, tanto più cresceva, e tanto più moltiplicava fuor di modo; onde gli Egizj portavano gran noia de’ figliuoli d’Israele.
Mas quanto mais os afligiam, tanto mais se multiplicavam, e tanto mais cresciam; de maneira que se enfadavam por causa dos filhos de Israel.
可是越苦待他們,他們就越發增多,更加繁衍, 埃及 人就因 以色列 人愁煩。
