For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Und er war todkrank, aber Gott hat sich über ihn erbarmt; nicht allein aber über ihn, sondern auch über mich, auf daß ich nicht eine Traurigkeit über die andern hätte.
Pues en verdad estuvo enfermo a la muerte: mas Dios tuvo misericordia de Él; y no solamente de Él, sino aun de mí, para que yo no tuviese tristeza sobre tristeza.
Il a été malade, en effet, et tout près de la mort; mais Dieu a eu pitié de lui, et non seulement de lui, mais aussi de moi, afin que je n'eusse pas tristesse sur tristesse.
Perciocchè certo egli è stato infermo, ben vicin della morte; ma Iddio ha avuta pietà di lui; e non solo di lui, ma di me ancora, acciocchè io non avessi tristizia sopra tristizia.
E de fato esteve doente, e quase à morte; mas Deus se apiedou dele, e não somente dele, mas também de mim, para que eu não tivesse tristeza sobre tristeza.
他真的生病了,幾乎要死。然而上帝憐憫他,不但憐憫他,也憐憫我,免得我憂上加憂。
