1 Kings 12:7

They spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and grant their request, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”

And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

They said, “If you will be a servant to this people, be considerate of their needs and respond with compassion, work things out with them, they’ll end up doing anything for you.” 8-9 But he rejected the counsel of the elders and asked the young men he’d grown up with who were now currying his favor, “What do you think? What should I say to these people who are saying, ‘Give us a break from your father’s harsh ways—lighten up on us’?” 10-11 The young turks he’d grown up with said, “These people who complain, ‘Your father was too hard on us; lighten up’—well, tell them this: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist. If you think life under my father was hard, you haven’t seen the half of it. My father thrashed you with whips; I’ll beat you bloody with chains!’” 12-14 Three days later Jeroboam and the people showed up, just as Rehoboam had directed when he said, “Give me three days to think it over, then come back.” The king’s answer was harsh and rude. He spurned the counsel of the elders and went with the advice of the younger set, “If you think life under my father was hard, you haven’t seen the half of it. My father thrashed you with whips; I’ll beat you bloody with chains!”

Then they spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them and [d]grant them their petition, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever.”

They replied, “Serve them today. Give them what they are asking for. Then they’ll always serve you.”

They replied, “If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants.”

They replied, ‘If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favourable answer, they will always be your servants.’

The older counselors replied, “If you are willing to be a servant to these people today and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your loyal subjects.”

فَأَجَابُوهُ: «إِنْ صِرْتَ خَادِماً لِهَذَا الشَّعْبِ، وَرَاعَيْتَهُمْ، وَتَجَاوَبْتَ مَعَهُمْ، وَأَحْسَنْتَ مُخَاطَبَتَهُمْ، يُصْبِحُونَ لَكَ عَبِيداً كُلَّ الأَيَّامِ».

„Hvis du viser lederne, at du tager hensyn til deres ønsker, og siger, at du vil behandle folket godt, så vil de være loyale over for dig,” var deres svar.

Sie antworteten: »Sei freundlich zu ihnen und gib ihnen, was sie fordern! Wenn du heute bereit bist, auf dein Volk zu hören und ihm zu dienen, dann wird dein Volk morgen auf dich hören und dir dienen.«

그러자 그들은 “왕이 만일 [a]겸손한 마음으로 이 백성을 다스리고 그들의 요구에 기꺼이 응하시면 그들은 왕을 언제나 충성스럽게 섬길 것입니다” 하고 대답하였다.

En zij antwoordden: ‘Als u hun een bevestigend antwoord geeft en belooft goed voor hen te zijn en hen op de juiste manier te dienen, zult u voor altijd hun koning kunnen zijn.’

Eles responderam: “Se hoje fores um servo deste povo e servi-lo, dando-lhe uma resposta favorável, eles sempre serão teus servos”.

“Se lhes deres uma resposta favorável e concordares em ser bom e servi-los com bondade, poderás vir a ser o seu rei para sempre.”
