Da sprachen seine Brüder zu ihm: Solltest du unser König werden und über uns herrschen? und sie wurden ihm noch feinder um seines Traumes und seiner Rede willen.
Y respondiéronle sus hermanos: ¿Has de reinar tú sobre nosotros, o te has de enseñorear sobre nosotros? Y le aborrecieron aún más a causa de sus sueños y de sus palabras.
Ses frères lui dirent: Est-ce que tu règneras sur nous? est-ce que tu nous gouverneras? Et ils le haïrent encore davantage, à cause de ses songes et à cause de ses paroles.
E i suoi fratelli gli dissero: Regneresti tu pur sopra noi? signoreggeresti tu pur sopra noi? Essi adunque l’odiarono vie maggiormente per i suoi sogni, e per le sue parole.
Então lhe disseram seus irmãos: Tu, pois, deveras reinarás sobre nós? Tu deveras terás domínio sobre nós? Por isso ainda mais o odiavam por seus sonhos e por suas palavras.
他的哥哥們對他說:「難道你真的要作我們的王嗎?難道你真的要統治我們嗎?」他們就因他的夢和他的話更加恨他。
