Er aber sprach: Das sei ferne von mir, solches zu tun! Der Mann, bei dem der Becher gefunden ist, soll mein Knecht sein; ihr aber zieht hinauf mit Frieden zu eurem Vater.
Y él respondió: Nunca yo tal haga: el varón en cuyo poder fue hallada la copa, él será mi siervo; vosotros id en paz a vuestro padre.
Et Joseph dit: Dieu me garde de faire cela! L'homme sur qui la coupe a été trouvée sera mon esclave; mais vous, remontez en paix vers votre père.
Ma Giuseppe disse: Tolga Iddio che io faccia questo; colui, appo il quale è stata trovata la coppa, mi sia servo, e voi altri ritornatevene in pace a vostro padre
Mas ele disse: Longe de mim que eu tal faça; o homem em cuja mão o copo foi achado, esse será meu servo; porém vós, subi em paz para vosso pai.
約瑟 說:「我絕不能做這樣的事!誰的手中找到杯子,誰就作我的奴隸。至於你們,可以平平安安上到你們父親那裏去。」
