ዮአብ ንንጉስ እንተ ዘይብሉ ኣለዎ፦ እግዚኣብሔር ኣምላኽኻ ሕዝቡ መቶ ዕጥፍ ይጨምር እንተ ከሎ፣ ዓይናት ጌታይ ንጉስ ይረኣዩ ይእቲ፤ ግን ስለ ምንታይ ጌታይ ንጉስ ብዚ ነገር ተደስቲ ትርከብ?
ዮአብ ንንጉስ እንተ ዘይብሉ ኣለዎ፦ እግዚኣብሔር ኣምላኽኻ ሕዝቡ መቶ ዕጥፍ ይጨምር እንተ ከሎ፣ ዓይናት ጌታይ ንጉስ ይረኣዩ ይእቲ፤ ግን ስለ ምንታይ ጌታይ ንጉስ ብዚ ነገር ተደስቲ ትርከብ?
ዮአብም ለንጉሡ አለ፦ “እግዚአብሔር አምላክህ ሕዝቡን ስንኳ መቶ እጥፍ ያበዛል፤ የጌታዬ ንጉሥ ዓይኖችም ይያዩታል፤ ነገር ግን ጌታዬ ንጉሥ በዚህ ነገር ለምን ደስ ይለዋል?”
ዮኣብ ድማ ንንጉስ፡ ነዚ ህዝቢ እዚ እግዚኣብሄር ኣምላኽካ ኸምቲ ዘለዎ ይወስኮ፡ ከምቲ ዘለዎ ኸኣ ሚእቲ ሳዕ የብዝሓዮ፡ ኣዒንቲ ጐይታይ ንጉስ ድማ ይርኣዮ። ግናኸ ጐይታይ ንጉስ ነዚ ነገር እዚ ስለምንታይ ደለዮ በሎ።
But Joab said to the king, "May the Lord your God multiply the people a hundredfold while the eyes of my lord the king still see it. But why does my lord the king want to do this thing?"
And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
And Joab said to the king, Now the LORD your God add to the people, however many they may be, a hundredfold, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
Ioab sayde vnto the kynge: The LORDE thy God adde vnto this people an hundreth tymes as moch as it is now, that my lorde the kynge maye se his eyes lust theron. But why hath my lorde the kynge a desyre to this thinge?
And Ioab saide vnto the King, The Lorde thy God increase the people an hundreth folde mo then they be, and that the eyes of my lorde the King may see it: but why doeth my lord the King desire this thing?
And Ioab saide vnto the king: The Lorde thy God encrease the people an hundreth folde mo then they be, & that the eyes of my lorde the king may see it: And what is the cause that my lorde the king hath a lust to this thyng?
And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
Joab said to the king, Now Yahweh your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
And Joab saith unto the king, `Yea, Jehovah thy God doth add unto the people, as they are, a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he desirous of this thing?'
And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
And Joab said unto the king, Now Jehovah thy God add unto the people, how many soever they may be, a hundredfold; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?
Joab said to the king, "Now may Yahweh your God add to the people, however many they may be, one hundred times; and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"
