Man gibt den Knechten kein Stroh, und sie sollen die Ziegel machen, die uns bestimmt sind; siehe deine Knechte werden geschlagen, und dein Volk muß schuldig sein.
No se da paja a tus siervos, y con todo nos dicen: Haced el ladrillo. Y he aquí tus siervos son azotados, y tu pueblo cae en falta.
No se da paja a tus siervos y, sin embargo, nos dicen: “Fabriquen ladrillos”. Tus siervos son golpeados, pero la culpa es de tu pueblo».
On ne donne point de paille à tes serviteurs, et l'on nous dit: Faites des briques! Et voici, tes serviteurs sont battus, comme si ton peuple était coupable.
E’ non si dà paglia a’ tuoi servitori, e pur ci dicono: Fate de’ mattoni; ed ora i tuoi servitori son battuti; e il tuo popolo commette fallo.
Palha não se dá a teus servos, e nos dizem: Fazei tijolos; e eis que teus servos são açoitados; porém o teu povo tem a culpa.
