Als nun Maria kam, da Jesus war, und sah ihn, fiel sie zu seinen Füßen und sprach zu ihm: HERR, wärest du hier gewesen, mein Bruder wäre nicht gestorben!
Mas María, como vino donde estaba Jesús, viéndole, derribose a sus pies, diciéndole: Señor, si hubieras estado aquí, no fuera muerto mi hermano.
Lorsque Marie fut arrivée là où était Jésus, et qu'elle le vit, elle tomba à ses pieds, et lui dit: Seigneur, si tu eusses été ici, mon frère ne serait pas mort.
Maria adunque, quando fu venuta là ove era Gesù, vedutolo, gli si gittò ai piedi, dicendogli: Signore, se tu fossi stato qui, il mio fratello non sarebbe morto
Tendo, pois, Maria chegado aonde Jesus estava, e vendo-o, lançou-se aos seus pés, dizendo-lhe: Senhor, se tu estivesses aqui, meu irmão não teria morrido.
