Abimelech aber hatte sie nicht berührt und sprach: HERR, willst du denn auch ein gerechtes Volk erwürgen?
Mas Abimelech no había llegado a ella, y dijo: Señor, ¿matarás también la gente justa?
Abimelec no se había acercado a ella, y respondió: «Señor, ¿matarás también a una nación inocente?
Abimélec, qui ne s'était point approché d'elle, répondit: Seigneur, ferais-tu périr même une nation juste?
Or Abimelecco non se l’era accostato. Ed egli disse: Signore, uccideresti tu tutta una nazione, ed anche giusta?
Mas Abimeleque ainda não se tinha chegado a ela; por isso disse: Senhor, matarás também uma nação justa?
