And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.

Er aber sprach zu ihm: Mein Herr, du erkennest, daß ich zarte Kinder bei mir habe, dazu säugende Schafe und Kühe; wenn sie einen Tag übertrieben würden, würde mir die ganze Herde sterben.
Y él le dijo: Mi señor sabe que los niños son tiernos, y que tengo ovejas y vacas paridas; y si las fatigan, en un día morirán todas las ovejas.
Jacob le respondió: «Mi señor sabe que los hijos son tiernos, y que tengo a mi cargo ovejas y vacas que amamantan. Si las fatigan un solo día, morirá todo el rebaño.
Jacob lui répondit: Mon seigneur sait que les enfants sont délicats, et que j'ai des brebis et des vaches qui allaitent; si l'on forçait leur marche un seul jour, tout le troupeau périrait.
Ma Giacobbe gli disse: Ben riconosce il mio signore che questi fanciulli son teneri; ed io ho le mie pecore e le mie vacche pregne; e se sono spinte innanzi pure un giorno, tutta la greggia morrà.
Porém ele lhe disse: Meu senhor sabe que estes filhos são tenros, e que tenho comigo ovelhas e vacas de leite; se as afadigarem somente um dia, todo o rebanho morrerá.
雅各 對他說:「我主知道孩子們還年幼嬌嫩,我的牛羊也正在哺乳中,只要催趕一天,群羊都會死了。
