| 20. Formal Translation And we said to my lord, “We have a father who is old, and a younger son born in his old age, a little one. His brother is dead, and he alone remains to his mother, and his father loves him.” |
| 20. Dynamic Translation We replied to you, “We have a father who is very old, and a small boy born to him late in life. The boy’s brother has died, so he is left alone with his mother, and his father cares for him deeply.” |
