One of his servants replied, “Please let some men take five of the horses which remain inside the city. Consider this: [if they are caught then at worst] they will be like all the people of Israel who are left in the city; [even if they are killed then] they will be like all the people of Israel who have already died. So let us send [them] and see [what happens].”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
One of his advisors answered, “Let some men go and take five of the horses left behind. The worst that can happen is no worse than what could happen to the whole city. Let’s send them and find out what’s happened.”
One of his servants said, “Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left [e]in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see.”
One of the king’s officers said, “A few horses are still left in the city. Have some men get five of them. Those men won’t be any worse off than all the other Israelites who are left here. In fact, all of us will soon be dead anyway. So let’s send the men to find out what happened.”
One of his officers answered, “Have some men take five of the horses that are left in the city. Their plight will be like that of all the Israelites left here—yes, they will only be like all these Israelites who are doomed. So let us send them to find out what happened.”
One of his officers answered, ‘Make some men take five of the horses that are left in the city. Their plight will be like that of all the Israelites left here – yes, they will only be like all these Israelites who are doomed. So let us send them to find out what happened.’
One of his officers replied, “We had better send out scouts to check into this. Let them take five of the remaining horses. If something happens to them, it will be no worse than if they stay here and die with the rest of us.”

فَأَجَابَ وَاحِدٌ مِنَ الضُّبَّاطِ وَقَالَ: «لِيَأْخُذْ بَعْضٌ مِنَّا خَمْسَةً مِنَ الْخَيْلِ الْبَاقِيَةِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ. فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُمْ شَرٌّ يَكُونُونَ نَظِيرَ بَقِيَّةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ الْمُعْتَصِمِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، أَوْ نَظِيرَ مَنْ هَلَكُوا مِنَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. فَلْنُرْسِلْ وَنَسْتَطْلِعِ الأَمْرَ».

„Men burde vi ikke alligevel sende nogle mænd ud og se efter?” spurgte en af officererne. „Lad os se, om der ikke skulle være bare fem heste tilbage i byen, man kan ride på. Hvis mændene skulle miste livet derved, er det vel ikke værre, end hvis de bliver i byen og dør af sult sammen med os andre.”

Da schlug einer der Berater vor: »Wir könnten doch fünf unserer letzten Pferde anspannen und in das Lager der Syrer fahren! Wir haben ja ohnehin nichts zu verlieren. Irgendwann werden die Tiere sterben, und auch wir halten nicht mehr lange durch. Lasst uns hinausfahren! Dann wollen wir einmal sehen, was geschieht!«

L’un des ministres proposa la chose suivante : On pourrait envoyer quelques hommes et les cinq chevaux qui nous restent encore dans la ville. Nous n’avons rien à y perdre, car ils connaîtront le même sort que celui de toute la multitude d’Israël qui reste dans la ville et qui va vers sa fin. Envoyons-les donc et nous verrons bien.

Een van zijn officieren opperde: ‘Laten we verkenners sturen om te kijken wat er aan de hand is. Laat hen vijf van de overgebleven paarden meenemen. Als met hen iets gebeurt, is dat geen groter verlies dan dat zij hier blijven en samen met ons sterven.’

Um de seus conselheiros respondeu: “Manda que alguns homens apanhem cinco dos cavalos que restam na cidade. O destino desses homens será o mesmo de todos os israelitas que ficarem, sim, como toda esta multidão condenada. Por isso vamos enviá-los para descobrir o que aconteceu”.
Um dos conselheiros avançou: “Não seria melhor que enviássemos alguns homens a espiar o que se passa? Poderão levar cinco dos cavalos que ainda nos restam; se alguma coisa lhes acontecer, a perda será igual a ficarem aqui e morrerem connosco.”

Unul dintre slujitorii lui i-a răspuns:– Dă-ne voie să luăm cinci cai din cei care au mai rămas în cetate. Dacă vor rămâne aici, li se va întâmpla acelaşi lucru care i se întâmplă acum întregii mulţimi a lui Israel, adică vor pieri aşa cum piere toată mulţimea lui Israel. Să trimitem deci şi să vedem ce s-a întâmplat.
