"Very well," said the youths. "Wait for us, we are only going to say good-bye to our mother."["Brilliant," gave voice to the youths. "Wait for us, we are going exclusively to say good-bye to our mother."]
And having gone straight home, they said to their mother, for their father was dead: "We are going, our mother, but our going is only for a while[And having gone just ASAP home, they said next to their adorable mother, for their father was buried: "We are going, our mother, yet our going is only for the time being]. The messengers of the lord have come to take us. 'They must come,' they said, according to the messengers[The messengers of the lord have extra arrived to take us.
