Dame a mis esposas y a mis hijos, por quienes te he servido, y déjame ir. Tú conoces el servicio que te he prestado».
Donne-moi mes femmes et mes enfants, pour lesquels je t'ai servi, et je m'en irai; car tu sais quel service j'ai fait pour toi.
Dammi le mie mogli, per le quali io ti ho servito, ed i miei figliuoli; acciocchè io me ne vada; perciocchè tu sai il servigio che io t’ho renduto.
Dá-me as minhas mulheres, e os meus filhos, pelas quais te tenho servido, e ir-me-ei; pois tu sabes o serviço que te tenho feito.
請你把我服事你所得的妻子和孩子給我,讓我走吧!我怎樣服事你,你都知道。」
