Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Und es soll geschehen, wenn ihre Väter oder ihre Brüder kommen, um mit uns zu rechten, so wollen wir zu ihnen sagen: Gewähret sie uns! Denn wir haben nicht ein jeder sein Weib im Kriege empfangen; denn nicht ihr habt sie ihnen gegeben, daß ihr jetzt schuldig wäret.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
Y cuando vinieren los padres de ellas ó sus hermanos á demandárnoslo, nosotros les diremos: Tened piedad de nosotros en lugar de ellos: pues que nosotros en la guerra no tomamos mujeres para todos: que vosotros no se las habéis dado, para que ahora seáis culpables.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
E quando vierem os pais delas ou seus irmãos a nos exigirem, nós lhes diremos: Tende piedade de nós em lugar deles: pois que nós na guerra não tomamos mulheres para todos: que vós não as destes a eles, para que agora sejais culpáveis.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Quando seus pais ou seus irmãos vierem para protestar a nós, diremos a eles: 'Tende piedade deles por nós! Deixai que elas fiquem, pois não conseguimos esposas para cada um deles durante a guerra. E vós sois inocentes, pois não fostes vós que destes as vossas filhas para eles’”.
📖 Judges 21:22 in Context
20Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
21And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
22And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
23And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
24And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
