Esdras 8
Schlachter-Bibel 1951
22Denn ich schämte mich, vom König ein Heer und Reiter anzufordern, die uns wider die Feinde auf dem Wege helfen könnten; denn wir hatten dem König gesagt: Die Hand unsres Gottes ist über allen, die ihn suchen, zu ihrem Besten; seine Stärke aber und sein Zorn sind gegen alle, die ihn verlassen!
Reina-Valera 1909
22Porque tuve vergüenza de pedir al rey tropa y gente de á caballo que nos defendiesen del enemigo en el camino: porque habíamos hablado al rey, diciendo: La mano de nuestro Dios es para bien sobre todos los que le buscan; mas su fortaleza y su furor sobre todos los que le dejan.
King James Version
22For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
World English Bible
22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
