Sie sprachen: Der Hebräer Gott hat uns gerufen; so laß uns nun hinziehen drei Tagereisen in die Wüste und dem HERRN, unserm Gott, opfern, daß uns nicht widerfahre Pestilenz oder Schwert.
Y ellos dijeron: El Dios de los Hebreos nos ha encontrado: iremos, pues, ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, y sacrificaremos a Jehová nuestro Dios; porque no venga sobre nosotros con pestilencia o con espada.
Ellos dijeron: «El Dios de los hebreos ha salido a nuestro encuentro. Permítenos, por favor, hacer un viaje de tres días por el desierto para ofrecer sacrificios a Jehová nuestro Dios, no sea que nos hiera con peste o con espada».
Ils dirent: Le Dieu des Hébreux nous est apparu. Permets-nous de faire trois journées de marche dans le désert, pour offrir des sacrifices à l'Eternel, afin qu'il ne nous frappe pas de la peste ou de l'épée.
Ed essi dissero: L’Iddio degli Ebrei ci ha scontrati; deh! lascia che noi andiamo tre giornate di cammino nel deserto, e che sacrifichiamo al Signore Iddio nostro; che talora egli non si avventi sopra noi con pestilenza, o con la spada.
E eles disseram: O Deus dos hebreus nos encontrou; portanto deixa-nos agora ir caminho de três dias ao deserto, para que ofereçamos sacrifícios ao SENHOR nosso Deus, e ele não venha sobre nós com pestilência ou com espada.
