And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word.

我对他们说：“我们尽力赎回我们弟兄，就是卖与外邦的犹大人；你们还要卖弟兄，使我们赎回来吗？”他们就静默不语，无话可答。

我对他们说：“我们已尽力赎回我们的弟兄，就是卖到列国的犹太人；你们还要卖弟兄，让我们去买回来吗？”他们就静默不语，无话可答。

我对他们说：“我们已尽力赎回我们的弟兄，就是卖到列国的犹太人；你们还要卖弟兄，让我们去买回来吗？”他们就静默不语，无话可答。

我对他们说：“我们在尽力赎回那些被卖到外邦的犹太同胞，你们却要卖他们为奴，好让我们再赎回他们吗？”他们都沉默不语，无言以对。

我对他们说：“我们已尽了我们的能力，把那些卖了给外族人的同胞犹大人买赎回来，而你们还想要出卖你们的同胞，好让我们再把他们买回来吗？”他们都默不作声，无话可说。

我對他們說：「我們盡力贖回我們弟兄，就是賣與外邦的猶大人；你們還要賣弟兄，使我們贖回來嗎？」他們就靜默不語，無話可答。

我對他們說：「我們已盡力贖回我們的弟兄，就是賣到列國的猶太人；你們還要賣弟兄，讓我們去買回來嗎？」他們就靜默不語，無話可答。

我對他們說：「我們已盡力贖回我們的弟兄，就是賣到列國的猶太人；你們還要賣弟兄，讓我們去買回來嗎？」他們就靜默不語，無話可答。

我對他們說：「我們在盡力贖回那些被賣到外邦的猶太同胞，你們卻要賣他們為奴，好讓我們再贖回他們嗎？」他們都沉默不語，無言以對。

我對他們說：“我們已盡了我們的能力，把那些賣了給外族人的同胞猶大人買贖回來，而你們還想要出賣你們的同胞，好讓我們再把他們買回來嗎？”他們都默不作聲，無話可說。

我對他們說：『我們已盡了力量來贖回我們的族弟兄猶大人、那些賣給外國人的；你們、你們還要賣你們的族弟兄，好讓他們又賣回給我們麼？』他們都不作聲，找不着話來說。

謂之曰、我同宗猶大人鬻於異邦、我儕盡力贖之、爾曹乃鬻同宗、且鬻於我儕耶、彼眾默然、無詞以對、

告之曰、我之同宗、猶大人、鬻於異邦、我盡力贖之、爾乃以同宗為奇貨乎、眾無詞以對。

謂之曰、有我同族猶大人被鬻於異邦、我盡力贖之、爾乃以同族人鬻於同族人乎、彼無辭以對、

and said:“ As far as possible, we have bought back our fellow Jews who were sold to the Gentiles. Now you are selling your own people, only for them to be sold back to us!” They kept quiet, because they could find nothing to say.

I said,“ Our Jewish brothers and sisters were sold to other nations. We’ve done everything we could to buy them back and bring them home. But look at what you are doing! You are actually selling your own people! Now we’ll have to buy them back too!” The people kept quiet. They couldn’t think of anything to say.

and said to them,“ We, as far as we are able, have bought back our Jewish brothers who have been sold to the nations, but you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us!” They were silent and could not find a word to say.

At the meeting I said to them,“ We are doing all we can to redeem our Jewish relatives who have had to sell themselves to pagan foreigners, but you are selling them back into slavery again. How often must we redeem them?” And they had nothing to say in their defense.

and said,“ We have done our best to buy back our Jewish countrymen who were sold to foreigners, but now you sell your own countrymen, and we have to buy them back.” They remained silent and could not say a word.

And I said to them,“ We, according to our ability, have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?” Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

And I said to them,“ According to our ability we have redeemed our Jewish brethren who were sold to the nations. Now indeed, will you even sell your brethren? Or should they be sold to us?” Then they were silenced and found nothing to say.

and said,“ We have done our best to buy back our Jewish countrymen who were sold to foreigners, but now you sell your own countrymen, and we have to buy them back.” They remained silent and could not say a word.

And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing[ to answer].

I said to them,“ To the extent possible we have bought back our fellow Jews who had been sold to the Gentiles. But now you yourselves want to sell your own countrymen, so that we can then buy them back!” They were utterly silent, and could find nothing to say.

I said to them,“ We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.

And if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxed rich, and thy brother be waxed poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family;after that he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his brethren may redeem him;or his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxed rich, he may redeem himself.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, and especially toward them that are of the household of the faith.

If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and he deal with him as a slave, or sell him; then that thief shall die: so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.

For if because of meat thy brother is grieved, thou walkest no longer in love. Destroy not with thy meat him for whom Christ died.

The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:

For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according as a man hath, not according as he hath not.

and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding- garment? And he was speechless.

For through thy knowledge he that is weak perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died.

They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
