Aber Ahas sprach: Ich will's nicht fordern, daß ich den HERRN nicht versuche.
Y respondió Achâz: No pediré, y no tentaré a Jehová.
Achaz répondit: Je ne demanderai rien, je ne tenterai pas l'Eternel.
Ed Achaz disse: Io non lo domanderò, e non tenterò il Signore.
Acaz, porém, disse: Não pedirei, nem tentarei ao SENHOR.
但 亞哈斯 說:「我不求;我不試探耶和華。」
