And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word.

And I said to them, We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free, who were servants and prisoners of the nations: and would you now give up your brothers for a price, and are they to become our property? Then they said nothing, answering not a word.

Και ειπα προς αυτους, Ημεις κατα την δυναμιν ημων εξηγορασαμεν τους αδελφους ημων Ιουδαιους, τους πωληθεντας εις τα εθνη· και σεις αυτοι θελετε πωλησει τους αδελφους σας; η θελουσι πωληθη εις ημας; Εκεινοι δε εσιωπων και δεν ευρηκαν αποκρισιν.

And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.

I said to them, “We, after our ability, have redeemed our brothers the Jews that were sold to the nations; and would you even sell your brothers, and should they be sold to us?” Then they held their peace, and found not a word to say.
