Der Knecht sprach: Wie, wenn das Weib mir nicht wollte folgen in dies Land, soll ich dann deinen Sohn wiederbringen in jenes Land, daraus du gezogen bist?
Y el criado le respondió: Quizá la mujer no querrá venir en pos de mí a esta tierra: ¿volveré, pues, tu hijo a la tierra de donde saliste?
El siervo le preguntó: «Quizá la mujer no quiera seguirme a esta tierra. ¿Debo entonces llevar a tu hijo a la tierra de donde saliste?».
Le serviteur lui répondit: Peut-être la femme ne voudra-t-elle pas me suivre dans ce pays-ci; devrai-je mener ton fils dans le pays d'où tu es sorti?
E quel servitore gli disse: Forse non aggradirà a quella donna di venir dietro a me in questo paese; mi converrà egli del tutto rimenare il tuo figliuolo nel paese onde tu sei uscito?
E disse-lhe o servo: Se porventura não quiser seguir-me a mulher a esta terra, farei, pois, tornar o teu filho à terra donde saíste?
僕人對他說:「如果那女子不肯跟我來到這地,我必須把你的兒子帶回到你出來的地方嗎?」
