Language2 Kings Chapter 8, Verse 12
CebuanoUg si Hazael miingon: Nganong naghilak ang akong ginoo? Ug siya mitubag: Tungod kay ako nahibalo sa dautan nga imong pagabuhaton sa mga anak sa Israel: ang ilang mga kuta imong pagasunogon, ug ang ilang mga batan-on imong pagapatyon sa pinuti, ug magadugmok ka sa mga gagmay nga bata, ug pagahaw-angan mo ang ilang mga babaye nga mabdos.
CroatianHazael reèe: "Zašto plaèeš, moj gospodaru?" Elizej odgovori: "Zato što znam sva zla koja æeš ti uèiniti Izraelcima: spalit æeš im utvrde, maèem æeš poubijati njihove ratnike, njihovu æeš djecu satirati, a trudne žene parati."
Danishog Hazael sagde: "Hvorfor græder min Herre?" Han svarede: "Fordi jeg ved, hvilke Ulykkkr du skal bringe over Israeliterne! Deres Fæstninger skal du stikke i Brand, deres unge Mænd skal du hugge ned med Sværdet, deres spæde Børn skal du knuse, og på deres frugtsommelige Kvinder skal du rive Livet op!"
DutchToen zeide Hazael: Waarom weent mijn heer? En hij zeide: omdat ik weet, wat kwaad gij den kinderen Israels doen zult; gij zult hun sterkten in het vuur zetten, en hun jonge manschap met het zwaard doden, en hun jonge kinderen verpletteren, en hun zwangere vrouwen opensnijden.
FinnishNiin Hasael sanoi: "Minkätähden herrani itkee?" Hän vastasi: "Sentähden, että minä tiedän, kuinka paljon pahaa sinä olet tekevä israelilaisille: sinä pistät heidän varustetut kaupunkinsa tuleen, sinä surmaat miekalla heidän valiomiehensä, sinä murskaat heidän pienet lapsensa ja halkaiset heidän raskaat vaimonsa".
FrenchHazaël dit: Pourquoi mon seigneur pleure-t-il? Et Élisée répondit: Parce que je sais le mal que tu feras aux enfants d`Israël; tu mettras le feu leurs villes fortes, tu tueras avec l`épée leurs jeunes gens, tu écraseras leurs petits enfants, et tu fendras le ventre de leurs femmes enceintes.
GermanDa sprach Hasael: Warum weint mein Herr? Er sprach: Ich weiß, was für Übel du den Kindern Israel tun wirst: du wirst ihre festen Städte mit Feuer verbrennen und ihre junge Mannschaft mit dem Schwert erwürgen und ihre jungen Kinder töten und ihre schwangeren Weiber zerhauen.
HungarianÉs monda Hazáel: Miért sír az én uram? És felele: Mert tudom a veszedelmet, a melyet az Izráel fiaira hozol; az õ erõs városait megégeted, az õ ifjait fegyverrel levágatod, és kis gyermekeit a földhöz vered, és terhes asszonyait ketté vágod.
Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari"Mengapa Tuan menangis?" tanya Hazael. "Sebab aku tahu kejahatan yang akan kaulakukan terhadap orang Israel," kata Elisa. "Engkau akan membakar kota-kotanya yang berbenteng, membunuh orang-orang mudanya yang terbaik, dan mencekik anak-anak bayi serta membelah perut para wanitanya yang sedang mengandung."
Indonesian-Terjemahan LamaMaka kata Hazael: Mengapa tuan menangis? Maka sahutnya: Sebab kuketahui akan segala jahat yang kauperbuat akan bani Israel kelak; bahwa engkau akan menunukan kota bentengnya dengan api dan membunuh orang muda-mudanya dengan pedang dan meremukkan anak-anaknya dan membelahkan orangnya perempuan yang bunting.
ItalianCazaèl disse: «Signor mio, perché piangi?». Quegli rispose: «Perché so quanto male farai agli Israeliti: brucerai le loro fortezze, ucciderai di spada i loro giovani, sfracellerai i loro bambini, sventrerai le loro donne incinte».
MaoriNa ka mea a Hataere, Na te aha toku ariki i tangi ai? Ano ra ko ia, No te mea e mohio ana ahau ki te kino e meatia e koe ki nga tama a Iharaira; ko o ratou pa e tahuna e koe ki te ahi, ko a ratou taitamariki e patua e koe ki te hoari, ko a ratou kohungahunga e taia iho e koe, a ko a ratou wahine hapu ka ripiripia e koe.
NorwegianDa sa Hasael: Hvorfor gråter min herre? Han svarte: Fordi jeg vet at du skal gjøre Israels barn meget ondt; deres festninger skal du sette ild på, deres unge menn skal du drepe med sverdet, deres små barn skal du knuse, og deres fruktsommelige kvinner skal du opskjære.
PortugueseEntão disse Hazael: Por que meu senhor está chorando? E ele disse: Porque sei o mal que hás de fazer aos filhos de Israel: Porás fogo s suas fortalezas, matarás espada os seus mancebos, despedaçarás os seus pequeninos e fenderás as suas mulheres grávidas.   
RumanianHazael a zis: ,,Pentruce plknge domnul meu?`` Wi Elisei a rqspuns: ,,Pentrucq wtiu rqul pe care -l vei face copiilor lui Israel; vei pune foc cetqyilor kntqrite ale lor; vei ucide cu sabia pe tinerii lor, vei zdrobi pe pruncii lor, wi vei spinteca pkntecele femeilor knsqrcinate.``
