Alors tous les deux s’élancèrent vers la porte, lui pour fuir, elle pour le retenir, et la femme déchira la tunique de Joseph par derrière. Tous deux rencontrent à la porte son maître à elle (son mari). Que mérite, dit la femme, celui qui a conçu des intentions coupables à l’égard de ta femme, sinon la prison ou une punition terrible ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En zij begaven zich beide naar de deur: de een om te ontvluchten, de andere om hem te weerhouden; en zij scheurde zijn kleed van achteren. En zij ontmoette haren heer bij de deur. Zij zeide: wat zal de vergelding zijn van hem, die kwaad in uw gezin tracht te bedrijven: gevangenis of eene pijnlijke straf?

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Allora ambedue corsero alla porta (lui per fuggire, ed essa per ritenerlo) e la donna lacerò la veste di Giuseppe dalla parte posteriore. Nel contrattempo arriva il marito della donna; li ritrova sulla soglia della porta. Che merita, disse la moglie, colui che ha formato progetti colpevoli sulla tua moglie, se non la prigione, o una punizione terribile?
