Go to Gabael’s house, give him the note of credit, and collect the money. Then invite him to come with you to the wedding celebration.
You are witness to the oath Raguel has sworn, and I cannot violate his oath.”
You know that my father is counting the days until I come home, and he will be very upset if I am even one day late. You know, too, how Raguel insists that I must stay, and I cannot disappoint him.
Nevertheless I beseech thee, that thou take to (or with) thee (some) beasts, either (or and some) servants, and go thou to Gabael into Rages, a city of Media, and yield or betake thou to him his obligation; and take of (or from) him the money that he oweth to my father, and pray him to come to my weddings. [Neverthelater I beseech thee, that thou take to thee beasts, or services, and go to Gabael into Rages, city of Media, and yield to him his writ; and thou shalt receive of him money, and pray him to come to my bridals.]
For Rag′uel has sworn that I should not leave;
You are witness to the oath Raguel has sworn, and I cannot violate his oath.”
You are witness to the oath Raguel has sworn, and I cannot violate his oath.’
You know that my father will be counting the days, and if I delay just one day, I will cause him a lot of grief.
For you know that my father will be counting the days. If I should delay even by a single day, I would cause him intense grief.
For Rag′uel has sworn that I should not leave;
You are witness to the oath Raguel has sworn, and I cannot violate his oath.’
