I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

Ich sage euch: Und ob er nicht aufsteht und gibt ihm, darum daß er sein Freund ist, so wird er doch um seines unverschämten Geilens willen aufstehen und ihm geben, wieviel er bedarf.
Os digo, que aunque no se levante a darle por ser su amigo, cierto por su importunidad se levantará, y le dará todo lo que habrá menester.
je vous le dis, même s'il ne se levait pas pour les lui donner parce que c'est son ami, il se lèverait à cause de son importunité et lui donnerait tout ce dont il a besoin.
io vi dico che, avvegnachè non si levi, e non glieli dia, perchè è suo amico; pure per l’importunità di esso egli si leverà, e gliene darà quanti ne avrà di bisogno.
Digo-vos que, ainda que não se levante a dar-lhos, por ser seu amigo, levantar-se-á, todavia, por causa da sua importunação, e lhe dará tudo o que houver mister.
我告訴你們,雖不因他是朋友起來給他,也會因他不顧面子地直求,起來照他所需要的給他。
