Nein, mein Herr, sondern höre mir zu! Ich schenke dir den Acker und die Höhle darin dazu und übergebe dir's vor den Augen der Kinder meines Volkes, zu begraben deinen Toten.
No, señor mío, óyeme: te doy la heredad, y te doy también la cueva que está en ella; delante de los hijos de mi pueblo te la doy; sepulta tu muerto.
Non, mon seigneur, écoute-moi! Je te donne le champ, et je te donne la caverne qui y est. Je te les donne, aux yeux des fils de mon peuple: enterre ton mort.
No, signor mio; ascoltami: Io ti dono il campo; ti dono ancora la spelonca ch’è in esso; io te ne fo un dono, in presenza de’ figliuoli del mio popolo; seppelliscivi il tuo morto.
Não, meu senhor, ouve-me: O campo te dou, também te dou a cova que nele está, diante dos olhos dos filhos do meu povo ta dou; sepulta a tua morta.
「不,我主請聽。我要把這塊田送給你,連田間的洞也送給你,在我同族的人眼前都給你,讓你埋葬你的死人。」
