P:  And when he turned his face toward Midian, he said:  Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.

S:  And when he turned his face towards Madyan, he said:  Maybe my Lord will guide me in the right path.

028.023 Y:  And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks).  He said:  “What is the matter with you?” They said:  “We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks):  And our father is a very old man.”

P:  And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering.  And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks).  He said:  What aileth you?  The two said:  We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man.

S:  And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on it a group of men watering, and he found besides them two women keeping back (their flocks).  He said:  What is the matter with you?  They said:  We cannot water until the shepherds take away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is a very old man.

028.024 Y:  So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:  “O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send me!"...

P:  So he watered (their flock) for them.  Then he turned aside into the shade, and said:  My Lord!  I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me.

S:  So he watered (their sheep) for them, then went back to the shade and said:  My Lord! surely I stand in need of whatever good Thou mayest send down to me.

028.025 Y:  Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him, walking bashfully.  She said:  “My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us.”  So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said:  “Fear thou not:  (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people.”

P:  Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly.  She said:  Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us.  Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said:  Fear not!  Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk.

S:  Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully.  She said:  My father invites you that he may give you the reward of your having watered for us.  So when he came to him and gave to him the account, he said:  Fear not, you are secure from the unjust people.

028.026 Y:  Said one of the (damsels):  “O my (dear) father! engage him on wages:  truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty"....

P:  One of the two women said:  O my father!  Hire him!  For the best (man) that thou canst hire in the strong, the trustworthy.
