Як седїв же Елисей в своїй хатинї й значнї люде седїли в його, післав царь від себе чоловіка. Перше ж нїж посланець дійшов до його, рече він значнїм людям: А знаєте ви, що сей син душогубця послав до мене, щоб стяти менї голову? Гледїте ж, скоро посланець надійде, зачинїте двері та й не допустїть увійти, бо ось, чути вже тупаннє пана його за ним.
Serbian DK Bible (Cyrillic)
А Јелисије сеђаше у својој кући, и старешине сеђаху код њега. И посла цар једног од оних што стајаху пред њим; а док још не дође послани к њему, он рече старешинама: Видите ли где онај крвнички син посла да ми одсече главу? Гледајте кад дође послани, закључајте врата, и одбијте га од врата; ето, и бахат ногу господара његовог за њим.
Russian Synodal Bible
Елисей же сидел в своем доме, и старцы сидели у него. И послал царь человека от себя. Прежде нежели пришел посланный к нему, он сказал старцам: видите ли, что этот сын убийцы послал снять с меня голову? Смотрите, когда придет посланный, затворите дверь и прижмите его дверью. А вот и топот ног господина его за ним!

ואלישע ישב בביתו והזקנים ישבים אתו וישלח איש מלפניו בטרם יבא המלאך אליו והוא אמר אל הזקנים הראיתם כי שלח בן המרצח הזה להסיר את ראשי ראו כבא המלאך סגרו הדלת ולחצתם אתו בדלת הלוא קול רגלי אדניו אחריו׃

وَكَانَ أَلِيشَعُ جَالِسًا فِي بَيْتِهِ وَٱلشُّيُوخُ جُلُوسًا عِنْدَهُ. فَأَرْسَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَمَامِهِ. وَقَبْلَمَا أَتَى ٱلرَّسُولُ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لِلشُّيُوخِ: «هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَنَّ ٱبْنَ ٱلْقَاتِلِ هَذَا قَدْ أَرْسَلَ لِكَيْ يَقْطَعَ رَأْسِي؟ ٱنْظُرُوا! إِذَا جَاءَ ٱلرَّسُولُ فَأَغْلِقُوا ٱلْبَابَ وَٱحْصُرُوهُ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَابِ. أَلَيْسَ صَوْتُ قَدَمَيْ سَيِّدِهِ وَرَاءَهُ؟».
Old Persion Version Bible
و الیشع در خانه خود نشسته بود و مشایخ، همراهش نشسته بودندو پادشاه، کسی را از نزد خود فرستاد و قبل ازرسیدن قاصد نزد وی، الیشع به مشایخ گفت: «آیامی بینید که این پسر قاتل فرستاده است تا سر مرااز تن جدا کند؟ متوجه باشید وقتی که قاصدبرسد، در را ببندید و او را از در برانید، آیا صدای پایهای آقایش در عقبش نیست.»

그 때에 엘리사가 그 집에 앉았고 장로들이 저와 함께 앉았는데 왕이 자기 처소에서 사람을 보내었더니 그 사자가 이르기 전에 엘리사가 장로들에게 이르되 `너희는 이 살인한 자의 자식이 내 머리를 취하려고 사람을 보내는 것을 보느냐 너희는 보다가 사자가 오거든 문을 닫고 문안에 들이지말라 그 주인의 발소리가 그 뒤에서 나지 아니하느냐' 하고

Elisa aber saß in seinem Hause, und die Ältesten saßen bei ihm. Und der König sandte einen Mann vor sich her; aber ehe der Bote zu ihm kam, sprach er zu den Ältesten: Sehet ihr nicht, wie dieser Mördersohn hersendet, um mir den Kopf abzuhauen? Sehet zu, wenn der Bote kommt, verschließet die Tür und drängt ihn mit der Tür hinweg! Höre ich nicht die Fußtritte seines Herrn hinter ihm her?

Eliseo estaba sentado en su casa. Los ancianos estaban sentados con él cuando el rey envió a uno de sus hombres. Pero antes que el mensajero llegara a él, Eliseo dijo a los ancianos: ¿Vieron como este hijo de homicida envió a cortarme la cabeza? Observen cuando llegue el emisario, cierren la puerta e impídanle la entrada. ¿No se escucha tras él el ruido de los pasos de su ʼadón?

But Elishah sat in his bais, and the Zekenim sat with him; and he sent an ish ahead of him; but before the malach came to him, he said to the Zekenim, See ye how this ben hameratze'ach (son of a murderer) hath sent to cut off mine rosh? Look, when the malach cometh, shut the delet (door), and hold him shut out by the delet; is not the sound of the raglei adonav behind him?
