Da sprachen sie zu ihm: Sage uns, warum geht es uns so übel? was ist dein Gewerbe, und wo kommst du her? Aus welchem Lande bist du, und von welchem Volk bist du?
Entonces le dijeron ellos: Decláranos ahora por qué nos ha venido este mal. ¿Qué oficio tienes, y de dónde vienes? ¿cuál es tu tierra, y de qué pueblo eres?
Alors ils lui dirent: Dis-nous qui nous attire ce malheur. Quelles sont tes affaires, et d'où viens-tu? Quel est ton pays, et de quel peuple es-tu?
Allora essi gli dissero: Deh! dichiaraci chi è cagione che questo male ci è avvenuto; quale è il tuo mestiere? ed onde vieni? quale è il tuo paese? e di qual popolo sei?
Então lhe disseram: Declara-nos tu agora, por causa de quem nos sobreveio este mal. Que ocupação é a tua? Donde vens? Qual é a tua terra? E de que povo és tu?
