Da antworteten wir: Wir haben einen Vater, der ist alt, und einen jungen Knaben, in seinem Alter geboren; und sein Bruder ist tot, und er ist allein übriggeblieben von seiner Mutter, und sein Vater hat ihn lieb.
Y nosotros respondimos a mi señor: Tenemos un padre anciano, y un mozo que le nació en su vejez, pequeño aún; y un hermano suyo murió, y él quedó solo de su madre, y su padre lo ama.
Nous avons répondu: Nous avons un vieux père, et un jeune frère, enfant de sa vieillesse; cet enfant avait un frère qui est mort, et qui était de la même mère; il reste seul, et son père l'aime.
Enoi: dicemmo al mio signore: Noi abbiamo un padre vecchio, e un giovane piccol fratello, nato a nostro padre nella sua vecchiezza, e il suo fratello è morto; talchè egli è rimasto solo di sua madre, e suo padre l’ama.
E dissemos a meu senhor: Temos um velho pai, e um filho da sua velhice, o mais novo, cujo irmão é morto; e só ele ficou de sua mãe, e seu pai o ama.
我們對我主說:『我們有父親,他已經年老,還有他老年所生的一個小兒子。他哥哥死了,他的母親只剩下他一個孩子,父親也疼愛他。』
