Sirach 29:27
Print
Go away, foreigner, I have a reputable guest; my brother has come to visit, and I need the house.”
The chief thing for man's life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame.
Go away, stranger! I've got an important guest! My brother is coming to visit, and I need the room!
Go away, you parasite, for one more worthy; for my relative’s visit I need the room!”
“Leave now, stranger, for someone more important has arrived; my brother has come for a visit, and I need the guest room.”
‘Be off, stranger, for an honoured guest is here; my brother has come for a visit, and I need the guest-room.’
‘Be off, stranger, for an honoured guest is here; my brother has come for a visit, and I need the guest-room.’
“Be off, stranger, for an honored guest is here; my brother has come for a visit, and I need the guest-room.”
“Be off, stranger, for an honored guest is here; my brother has come for a visit, and I need the house.”
“Give place, stranger, to an honored person; my brother has come to stay with me; I need my house.”
“Give place, stranger, to an honored person; my brother has come to stay with me; I need my house.”
Go thou out from the face of the honour of my friends, for the friendship, either affinity, of mine house [or for (the) need of mine house]; by harbouring thou art made a brother to me.
