Cuando José vio a Benjamín con ellos, le dijo al encargado de su casa: «Lleva a estos hombres a casa, mata un animal y prepáralo, porque estos hombres comerán conmigo al mediodía».
Dès que Joseph vit avec eux Benjamin, il dit à son intendant: Fais entrer ces gens dans la maison, tue et apprête; car ces gens mangeront avec moi à midi.
E Giuseppe, veggendo Beniamino con loro, disse al suo mastro di casa: Mena questi uomini dentro alla casa, e ammazza delle carni e apparecchiale; perciocchè questi uomini mangeranno meco a meriggio.
Vendo, pois, José a Benjamim com eles, disse ao que estava sobre a sua casa: Leva estes homens à casa, e mata reses, e prepara tudo; porque estes homens comerão comigo ao meio-dia.
