Und da sie ihn sahen, entsetzten sie sich. Seine Mutter aber sprach zu ihm: Mein Sohn, warum hast du uns das getan? Siehe, dein Vater und ich haben dich mit Schmerzen gesucht.
Y cuando le vieron, se maravillaron; y díjole su madre: Hijo, ¿por qué nos has hecho así? He aquí, tu padre y yo te hemos buscado con dolor.
Cuando lo vieron, quedaron sorprendidos, y su madre le dijo: «Hijo, ¿por qué nos has hecho esto? Mira, tu padre y yo te buscábamos angustiados».
Quand ses parents le virent, ils furent saisis d'étonnement, et sa mère lui dit: Mon enfant, pourquoi as-tu agi de la sorte avec nous? Voici, ton père et moi, nous te cherchions avec angoisse.
E quando essi lo videro, sbigottirono. E sua madre gli disse: Figliuolo, perchè ci hai fatto così? ecco, tuo padre ed io ti cercavamo, essendo in gran travaglio.
E quando o viram, maravilharam-se, e disse-lhe sua mãe: Filho, por que fizeste assim para conosco? Eis que teu pai e eu ansiosos te procurávamos.
他父母看見就很驚奇。他母親對他說:「我兒啊,為甚麼對我們這樣做呢?看哪,你父親和我很焦急,到處找你!」
