Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Hier bin ich, zeuget wider mich vor Jehova und vor seinem Gesalbten! Wessen Rind habe ich genommen? Oder wessen Esel habe ich genommen? Oder wen habe ich übervorteilt? Wem habe ich Gewalt angetan? Oder aus wessen Hand habe ich Lösegeld genommen, daß ich dadurch meine Augen verhüllt hätte? So will ich es euch wiedergeben.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Aquí estoy; atestiguad contra mí delante de Jehová y delante de su ungido, si he tomado el buey de alguno, ó si he tomado el asno de alguno, ó si he calumniado á alguien, ó si he agraviado á alguno, ó si de alguien he tomado cohecho por el cual haya cubierto mis ojos: y os satisfaré.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Aqui estou; testemunhai contra mim diante do SENHOR e diante de seu ungido, se tomei o boi de alguém, ou se tomei o asno de alguém, ou se caluniei a alguém, ou se oprimi a alguém, ou se de alguém tomei suborno pelo qual tenha coberto meus olhos; e eu vos restituirei.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Eu estou aqui; testemunhai contra mim diante de Yahweh e diante do Seu ungido. De quem tomei um boi? De quem tomei um jumento? A quem eu drefaudei? A quem tenho eu oprimido? Da mão de quem tenho eu recebido suborno para cobrir meus olhos? Testificai essas coisas contra mim, e eu vos restituirei".
📖 I Samuel 12:3 in Context
1And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
2And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
3Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
4And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man’s hand.
5And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
