But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. |
But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ |
“But the prudent answered, saying, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ |
“‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ |
But the wise replied, There will not be enough for us and for you; go instead to the dealers and buy for yourselves. |
And those who were prudent answered, saying, No, lest perchance there should not be by any means enough for us and you. |
‘Oh no,’ returned the sensible ones, ‘there might not be enough for all of us. Better go to the oil-shop and buy some for yourselves. |
But the thoughtful ones answered, ‘No, no, there may not be enough for you and us. Go to the store (Greek, the sellers) and buy your own oil.’ |
