das Land Ägypten steht dir offen, laß sie am besten Ort des Landes wohnen, laß sie im Lande Gosen wohnen; und so du weißt, daß Leute unter ihnen sind, die tüchtig sind, so setze sie über mein Vieh.
La tierra de Egipto delante de ti está; en lo mejor de la tierra haz habitar a tu padre y a tus hermanos; habiten en la tierra de Gosén; y si entiendes que hay entre ellos hombres eficaces, ponlos por mayorales del ganado mío.
La tierra de Egipto está a tu disposición. Establece a tu padre y a tus hermanos en lo mejor de la tierra. Que vivan en la tierra de Gosén. Y si sabes que entre ellos hay hombres capaces, ponlos a cargo de mi ganado».
Le pays d'Egypte est devant toi; établis ton père et tes frères dans la meilleure partie du pays. Qu'ils habitent dans le pays de Gosen; et, si tu trouves parmi eux des hommes capables, mets-les à la tête de mes troupeaux.
il paese di Egitto è al tuo comando; fa’ abitar tuo padre, e i tuoi fratelli, nel meglio del paese; dimorino pur nella contrada di Gosen, e se tu conosci che fra loro vi sieno degli uomini di valore, costituiscili governatori del mio bestiame.
A terra do Egito está diante de ti; no melhor da terra faze habitar teu pai e teus irmãos; habitem na terra de Gósen, e se sabes que entre eles há homens valentes, os porás por maiorais do gado, sobre o que eu tenho.
埃及 地都在你面前,只管讓你父親和你兄弟住在最好的地,他們可以住在 歌珊 地。你若知道他們中間有能幹的人,就派他們看管我的牲畜。」
