Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Wenn wir sprechen: Laßt uns in die Stadt gehen, so ist die Hungersnot in der Stadt, und wir werden daselbst sterben; und wenn wir hier bleiben, so werden wir auch sterben. Und nun kommt und laßt uns zu dem Lager der Syrer überlaufen; wenn sie uns am Leben lassen, so leben wir, und wenn sie uns töten, so sterben wir.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Si tratáremos de entrar en la ciudad, por el hambre que hay en la ciudad moriremos en ella; y si nos quedamos aquí, también moriremos. Vamos pues ahora, y pasémonos al ejército de los Siros: si ellos nos dieren la vida, viviremos; y si nos dieren la muerte, moriremos.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Se tratarmos de entrar na cidade, pela fome que há na cidade morreremos nela; e se nos ficamos aqui, também morreremos. Vamos pois agora, e passemo-nos ao exército dos sírios; se eles nos derem a vida, viveremos; e se nos derem a morte, morreremos.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Se dissermos que devemos entrar na cidade enquanto há fome na cidade, morreremos lá. Mas, se ficarmos sentados aqui, também morreremos. Então, vamos ao exército dos sírios. Se eles nos deixarem viver, nós viveremos, e, se eles nos matarem, nós apenas morreremos".
