und sagten weiter zu Pharao: Wir sind gekommen, bei euch zu wohnen im Lande; denn deine Knechte haben nicht Weide für ihr Vieh, so hart drückt die Teuerung das Land Kanaan; so laß doch nun deine Knechte im Lande Gosen wohnen.
Dijeron además a Faraón: Por morar en esta tierra hemos venido; porque no hay pasto para las ovejas de tus siervos, pues el hambre es grave en la tierra de Canaán: por tanto, te rogamos ahora que habiten tus siervos en la tierra de Gosén.
Ils dirent encore à Pharaon: Nous sommes venus pour séjourner dans le pays, parce qu'il n'y a plus de pâturage pour les brebis de tes serviteurs, car la famine s'appesantit sur le pays de Canaan; permets donc à tes serviteurs d'habiter au pays de Gosen.
Poi dissero a Faraone: Noi siam venuti per dimorare in questo paese; perciocchè non vi è pastura per le gregge de’ tuoi servitori nel paese di Canaan, conciossiachè la fame vi sia grave; deh! permetti ora che i tuoi servitori dimorino nella contrada di Gosen.
Disseram mais a Faraó: Viemos para peregrinar nesta terra; porque não há pasto para as ovelhas de teus servos, porquanto a fome é grave na terra de Canaã; agora, pois, rogamos-te que teus servos habitem na terra de Gósen.
他們又對法老說:「 迦南 地的饑荒非常嚴重,僕人的羊群沒有牧草,所以我們來到這地寄居。現在求你准許僕人住在 歌珊 地。」
