10 translations of 93 that include the Old Testament

French: Bible J.N. Darby

Et moi, je suis affligé et pauvre : le Seigneur pense à moi. Tu es mon secours et celui qui me délivre. Mon Dieu ! ne tarde pas.

Já pak ačkoli chudý a nuzný jsem, Pán však pečuje o mne. Pomoc má a vysvoboditel můj ty jsi. Bože můj, neprodlévejž.

Er jeg end arm og fattig, vil Herren dog tænke på mig. Du er min Hjælp og min Frelser; tøv ej, min Gud!

Moi, je suis pauvre et indigent; Mais le Seigneur pense à moi. Tu es mon aide et mon libérateur: Mon Dieu, ne tarde pas!

Bijedan sam ja i nevoljan, al' Jahve se brine za me. Ti si pomoć moja i moj spasitelj; o Bože moj, ne kasni!

Bin ich auch elend und arm, der Herr wird für mich sorgen. Meine Hilfe und mein Retter bist du; mein Gott, säume nicht!

וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיוֹן֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י יַחֲשָׁ֫ב לִ֥י עֶזְרָתִ֣י וּמְפַלְטִ֣י אַ֑תָּה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃

וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיֹון֮ אֲדֹנָ֪י יַחֲשָׁ֫ב לִ֥י עֶזְרָתִ֣י וּמְפַלְטִ֣י אַ֑תָּה אֱ֝לֹהַ֗י אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃

Niehe ndi mukenyi nnandi muhanya! Câba Nyakasane arhahimwa kunshîbirira. Nyamuzinda wâni, obiduhe mâshi!
