So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.

Also sollt ihr Joseph sagen: Vergib doch deinen Brüdern die Missetat und ihre Sünde, daß sie so übel an dir getan haben. So vergib doch nun diese Missetat uns, den Dienern des Gottes deines Vaters. Aber Joseph weinte, da sie solches mit ihm redeten.
Así diréis a José: Ruégote que perdones ahora la maldad de tus hermanos y su pecado, porque mal te trataron: por tanto ahora te rogamos que perdones la maldad de los siervos del Dios de tu padre. Y José lloró mientras hablaban.
“Así le dirán a José: ‘Te ruego que perdones la ofensa de tus hermanos y su pecado, porque te hicieron mal’”. Ahora, por favor, perdona la ofensa de los siervos del Dios de tu padre». José lloró mientras le hablaban.
Vous parlerez ainsi à Joseph: Oh! pardonne le crime de tes frères et leur péché, car ils t'ont fait du mal! Pardonne maintenant le péché des serviteurs du Dieu de ton père! Joseph pleura, en entendant ces paroles.
Dite così a Giuseppe: Perdona, ti prego, ora a’ tuoi fratelli il lor misfatto, e il lor peccato; conciossiachè essi ti abbiano fatto del male. Deh! perdona dunque ora a’ servitori dell’Iddio di tuo padre il lor misfatto. E Giuseppe pianse, quando coloro gli parlarono.
Assim direis a José: Perdoa, rogo-te, a transgressão de teus irmãos, e o seu pecado, porque te fizeram mal; agora, pois, rogamos-te que perdoes a transgressão dos servos do Deus de teu pai. E José chorou quando eles lhe falavam.
『你們要對 約瑟 這樣說:從前你哥哥們惡待你,你要饒恕他們的過犯和罪惡。』現在求你饒恕你父親的上帝之僕人們的過犯。」他們對 約瑟 說了這話, 約瑟 就哭了。
