昔爾人寡、其數無幾、旅於斯土兮、

當時以色列族、其數無幾、旅於斯土、

When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

At first there weren’t very many of God’s people. There were only a few. And they were strangers in the land.

When you were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan

When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it,

When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and temporary residents in Canaan

When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

When they were few in number, just a very few, and foreign residents within it,

when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.

雅各謂西緬利未曰、爾曹累我、致我遺臭於居此地之迦南族、比利洗族、且我儕人寡、彼將聚而攻我、則我與全家必致剪滅、

主悅爾、選擇爾、非為爾較諸國之民、人數眾多、爾原較諸民、人數維寡、

此皆至死有信而未得所許者、惟遙望之、即欣喜以待、自謂在世為客旅、為寄居者、

是時天主未嘗在此地賜之以業、即立足之地、亦未賜之、惟許以此地賜彼及其子孫為業、時亞伯拉罕尚未有子也、
