Since thou hast been precious in my sight, and honorable, and I have loved thee; therefore will I give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life.

Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

Αφοτου εσταθης πολυτιμος εις τους οφθαλμους μου, εδοξασθης και εγω σε ηγαπησα· και θελω δωσει ανθρωπους πολλους υπερ σου και λαους υπερ της κεφαλης σου.

Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
