so wird's geschehen, wenn er sieht, daß der Knabe nicht da ist, daß er stirbt; so würden wir, deine Knechte, die grauen Haare deines Knechtes, unsers Vaters, mit Herzeleid in die Grube bringen.
Sucederá que cuando no vea al mozo, morirá: y tus siervos harán descender las canas de tu siervo nuestro padre con dolor a la sepultura.
morirá al ver que el joven no está. Así tus siervos harán descender las canas de tu siervo, nuestro padre, con dolor al Seol.
il mourra, en voyant que l'enfant n'y est pas; et tes serviteurs feront descendre avec douleur dans le séjour des morts les cheveux blancs de ton serviteur, notre père.
egli avverrà che, come vedrà che il fanciullo non vi sarà, egli si morrà; e così i tuoi servitori avranno fatto scender la canutezza di nostro padre, tuo servitore, con cordoglio, nel sepolcro.
Acontecerá que, vendo ele que o moço ali não está, morrerá; e teus servos farão descer as cãs de teu servo, nosso pai, com tristeza à sepultura.
當我們的父親看見沒有了這年輕人,他就會死。這樣,我們就害你僕人,我們的父親白髮蒼蒼、悲悲慘慘下陰間去了。
