Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.

Wo nicht der Gott meines Vaters, der Gott Abrahams und die Furcht Isaaks, auf meiner Seite gewesen wäre, du hättest mich leer lassen ziehen. Aber Gott hat mein Elend und meine Mühe angesehen und hat dich gestern gestraft.
Si el Dios de mi padre, el Dios de Abraham, y el temor de Isaac, no fuera conmigo, de cierto me enviarías ahora vacío: vio Dios mi aflicción y el trabajo de mis manos, y reprendiote anoche.
Si je n'eusse pas eu pour moi le Dieu de mon père, le Dieu d'Abraham, celui que craint Isaac, tu m'aurais maintenant renvoyé à vide. Dieu a vu ma souffrance et le travail de mes mains, et hier il a prononcé son jugement.
Se l’Iddio di mio padre, l’Iddio di Abrahamo, e il terrore d’Isacco, non fosse stato meco, certo tu mi avresti ora rimandato voto. Iddio ha veduta la mia afflizione, e la fatica delle mie mani: e però la notte passata ne ha data la sentenza
Se o Deus de meu pai, o Deus de Abraão e o temor de Isaque não fora comigo, por certo me despedirias agora vazio. Deus atendeu à minha aflição, e ao trabalho das minhas mãos, e repreendeu-te ontem à noite.
若不是我父親 以撒 所敬畏的上帝,就是 亞伯拉罕 的上帝與我同在,你如今必定打發我空手而去。上帝看見我的苦情和我手的辛勞,就在昨夜責備了你。」
