Sie antworteten: Der Mann forschte so genau nach uns und unsrer Freundschaft und sprach: Lebt euer Vater noch? Habt ihr auch noch einen Bruder? Da sagten wir ihm, wie er uns fragte. Wie konnten wir wissen, daß er sagen würde: Bringt euren Bruder mit hernieder?
Y ellos respondieron: Aquel varón nos preguntó expresamente por nosotros, y por nuestra parentela, diciendo: ¿Vive aún vuestro padre? ¿tenéis otro hermano? y declarámosle conforme a estas palabras. ¿Podíamos nosotros saber que había de decir: Haced venir a vuestro hermano?
Ils répondirent: Cet homme nous a interrogés sur nous et sur notre famille, en disant: Votre père vit-il encore? avez-vous un frère? Et nous avons répondu à ces questions. Pouvions-nous savoir qu'il dirait: Faites descendre votre frère?
Ed essi dissero: Quell’uomo ci domandò partitamente di noi, e del nostro parentado, dicendo: Il padre vostro vive egli ancora? avete voi alcun altro fratello? E noi gliene demmo contezza, secondo quelle parole; potevamo noi in alcun modo sapere ch’egli direbbe: Fate venire il vostro fratello?
E eles disseram: Aquele homem particularmente nos perguntou por nós, e pela nossa parentela, dizendo: Vive ainda vosso pai? Tendes mais um irmão? E respondemos-lhe conforme as mesmas palavras. Podíamos nós saber que diria: Trazei vosso irmão?
他們說:「那人詳細問到我們和我們的家人,說:『你們的父親還在嗎?你們還有兄弟嗎?』我們就按著他的這些話告訴他,我們怎麼知道他會說:『把你們的弟弟帶下來』呢?」
