And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.

Und Jakob sprach zu Simeon und Levi: Ihr habt mir Unglück zugerichtet und mich stinkend gemacht vor den Einwohnern dieses Landes, den Kanaanitern und Pheresitern; und ich bin ein geringer Haufe. Wenn sie sich nun versammeln über mich, so werden sie mich schlagen. Also werde ich vertilgt samt meinem Hause.
Entonces dijo Jacob a Simeón y a Leví: Habéisme turbado con hacerme abominable a los moradores de aquesta tierra, el Cananeo y el Pherezeo; y teniendo yo pocos hombres, juntarse han contra mí, y me herirán, y seré destruido yo y mi casa.
Jacob les dijo a Simeón y a Leví: «Me han causado problemas al hacerme odioso a los habitantes de esta tierra, los cananeos y los ferezeos. Yo tengo pocos hombres; se reunirán contra mí, me atacarán y seremos destruidos, yo y mi casa».
Alors Jacob dit à Siméon et à Lévi: Vous me troublez, en me rendant odieux aux habitants du pays, aux Cananéens et aux Phérésiens. Je n'ai qu'un petit nombre d'hommes; et ils se rassembleront contre moi, ils me frapperont, et je serai détruit, moi et ma maison.
E Giacobbe disse a Simeone ed a Levi: Voi mi avete messo in gran turbamento, rendendomi abbominevole agli abitanti di questo paese, a’ Cananei, ed a’ Ferezei; laonde, avendo io poca gente, essi si rauneranno contro a me, e mi percoteranno; e sarò distrutto io e la mia famiglia.
Então disse Jacó a Simeão e a Levi: Tendes-me turbado, fazendo-me cheirar mal entre os moradores desta terra, entre os cananeus e perizeus; tendo eu pouco povo em número, eles ajuntar-se-ão, e serei destruído, eu e minha casa.
