Y la mujer vino y contolo a su marido, diciendo: Un varón de Dios vino a mí, cuyo aspecto era como el aspecto de un ángel de Dios, terrible en gran manera; y no le pregunté de dónde ni quién era, ni tampoco él me dijo su nombre.
La femme alla dire à son mari; Un homme de Dieu est venu vers moi, et il avait l'aspect d'un ange de Dieu, un aspect redoutable. Je ne lui ai pas demandé d'où il était, et il ne m'a pas fait connaître son nom.
E la donna se ne venne al suo marito, e gli disse: Un uomo di Dio è venuto a me, col sembiante simile a quel di un Angelo di Dio, molto tremendo; e io non gli ho domandato onde egli si fosse, ed egli altresì non mi ha dichiarato il suo nome.
Então a mulher entrou, e falou a seu marido, dizendo: Um homem de Deus veio a mim, cuja aparência era semelhante de um anjo de Deus, terribilíssima; e não lhe perguntei donde era, nem ele me disse o seu nome.
