Wir aber antworteten meinem Herrn: Der Knabe kann nicht von seinem Vater kommen; wo er von ihm käme, würde er sterben.
Y nosotros dijimos a mi señor: El mozo no puede dejar a su padre, porque si le dejare, su padre morirá.
Nous avons répondu à mon seigneur: L'enfant ne peut pas quitter son père; s'il le quitte, son père mourra.
E noi dicemmo al mio signore: Il fanciullo non può lasciar suo padre; perciocchè s’egli lo lasciasse, suo padre morrebbe.
