וַיְמָאֵן אָבִיו וַיֹּאמֶר יָדַעְתִּֽי בְנִי יָדַעְתִּי גַּם־הוּא יִֽהְיֶה־לְּעָם וְגַם־הוּא יִגְדָּל וְאוּלָם אָחִיו הַקָּטֹן יִגְדַּל מִמֶּנּוּ וְזַרְעוֹ יִהְיֶה מְלֹֽא־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃

καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν, ἀλλὰ εἶπεν Οἶδα, τέκνον, οἷα· καὶ οὗτος ἔσται εἰς λαόν, καὶ οὗτος ὑψωθήσεται· ἀλλὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ νεώ. τερος μείζων αὐτοῦ ἔσται, καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αι'τοῦ ἔσται εἰς πλῆθος ἐθνῶν.

Latin (Vulgate)
Qui renuens, ait: Scio, fili mi, scio: et iste quidem erit in populos, et multiplicabitur: sed frater ejus minor, major erit illo: et semen illius crescet in gentes.
Mas su padre no quiso, y dijo: Lo sé, hijo mío, lo sé: también él vendrá á ser un pueblo, y será también acrecentado; pero su hermano menor será más grande que él, y su simiente será plenitud de gentes.
But his father refused. “ I know, my son, I know!” he said. “ He too shall become a people, and he too shall be great; nevertheless, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his offspring shall become a multitude of nations.”
