Da riefen sie zu dem HERRN und sprachen: Ach HERR, laß uns nicht verderben um dieses Mannes Seele willen und rechne uns nicht zu unschuldig Blut! denn du, HERR, tust, wie dir's gefällt.
Entonces clamaron a Jehová, y dijeron: Rogámoste ahora, Jehová, que no perezcamos nosotros por la vida de aqueste hombre, ni pongas sobre nosotros la sangre inocente: porque tú, Jehová, has hecho como has querido.
Clamaron a Jehová y dijeron: «Te rogamos, Jehová, que no perezcamos por la vida de este hombre ni pongas sobre nosotros sangre inocente, porque tú, Jehová, has hecho como has querido».
Alors ils invoquèrent l'Eternel, et dirent: O Eternel, ne nous fais pas périr à cause de la vie de cet homme, et ne nous charge pas du sang innocent! Car toi, Eternel, tu fais ce que tu veux.
Allora gridarono al Signore, e dissero: Ahi Signore! deh! non far che periamo per la vita di quest’uomo; e non metterci addosso il sangue innocente; conciossiachè tu Signore, abbi operato come ti è piaciuto.
Então clamaram ao SENHOR, e disseram: Ah, SENHOR! Nós te rogamos, que não pereçamos por causa da alma deste homem, e que não ponhas sobre nós o sangue inocente; porque tu, SENHOR, fizeste como te aprouve.
於是他們求告耶和華說:「耶和華啊,求求你不要因這人的性命使我們滅亡,不要使流無辜人血的罪歸給我們;因為你-耶和華隨自己的旨意行事。」
