Sie antworteten: Wir können nicht, bis daß alle Herden zusammengebracht werden und wir den Stein von des Brunnens Loch wälzen und also die Schafe tränken.
Y ellos respondieron: No podemos, hasta que se junten todos los ganados, y remuevan la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, para que abrevemos las ovejas.
Ils répondirent: Nous ne le pouvons pas, jusqu'à ce que tous les troupeaux soient rassemblés; c'est alors qu'on roule la pierre de dessus l'ouverture du puits, et qu'on abreuve les brebis.
Ma essi dissero: Noi non possiamo, finchè tutte le gregge non sieno adunate, e che si rotoli la pietra d’in su la bocca del pozzo; allora abbevereremo le pecore
E disseram: Não podemos, até que todos os rebanhos se ajuntem, e removam a pedra de sobre a boca do poço, para que demos de beber às ovelhas.
他們說:「我們不能這樣,必須等所有的羊群聚集,人把石頭移開井口,我們才可以取水給羊喝。」
