And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

Als Tagelöhner soll er von Jahr zu Jahr bei ihm sein, und sollst nicht lassen mit Strenge über ihn herrschen vor deinen Augen.
Como con tomado a salario anualmente hará con él: no se enseñoreará en él con aspereza delante de tus ojos.
Estará con él como un jornalero contratado año por año. El que lo compró no lo dominará con dureza ante tus ojos.
Il sera comme un mercenaire à l'année, et celui chez qui il sera ne le traitera point avec dureté sous tes yeux.
Stia con lui a guisa di mercenario annuale; non signoreggilo con asprezza nel tuo cospetto.
Como diarista, de ano em ano, estará com ele; não se assenhoreará sobre ele com rigor diante dos teus olhos.
他和買主同住,要像按年雇用的工人,買主不可苛刻管轄他。
