so möchte vielleicht mein Vater mich betasten, und ich würde vor ihm geachtet, als ob ich ihn betrügen wollte, und brächte über mich einen Fluch und nicht einen Segen.
Quizá me tentará mi padre, y me tendrá por burlador, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición.
Quizá mi padre me palpe y crea que me estoy burlando de él. Entonces traeré sobre mí una maldición, y no una bendición».
Peut-être mon père me touchera-t-il, et je passerai à ses yeux pour un menteur, et je ferai venir sur moi la malédiction, et non la bénédiction.
Per avventura mio padre mi tasterà, e sarò da lui reputato un ingannatore; e così mi farò venire addosso maledizione, e non benedizione.
Porventura me apalpará o meu pai, e serei aos seus olhos como enganador; assim trarei eu sobre mim maldição, e não bênção.
倘若父親摸著我,我在他眼中就是騙子了。這樣,我就自招詛咒,而不是祝福。」
