Ich will Bürge für ihn sein, von meinen Händen sollst du ihn fordern. Wenn ich dir ihn nicht wiederbringe und vor deine Augen stelle, so will ich mein Leben lang die Schuld tragen.
Yo lo fío; a mí me pedirás cuenta de él: si yo no te lo volviere y lo pusiere delante de ti, seré para ti el culpante todos los días:
Yo responderé por él; a mí me exigirás cuentas. Si no te lo traigo y lo pongo delante de ti, cargaré con la culpa ante ti todos los días.
Je réponds de lui; tu le redemanderas de ma main. Si je ne le ramène pas auprès de toi et si je ne le remets pas devant ta face, je serai pour toujours coupable envers toi.
Io te lo sicuro; ridomandalo dalla mia mano; se io non tel riconduco, e non tel rappresento, io sarò colpevole inverso te in perpetuo.
Eu serei fiador por ele, da minha mão o requererás; se eu não o trouxer, e não o puser perante a tua face, serei réu de crime para contigo para sempre.
我為他擔保,你可以從我手中要人,我若不帶他回來交在你面前,我就對你永遠擔當這罪。
