[新标点] 人在父家拉住弟兄，说：你有衣服，可以作我们的官长。这败落的事归在你手下吧！
[和合修] 人在父家拉住自己的兄弟：“你有外衣，来作我们的官长，让这些败坏的事归于你的手下吧！”
[新译本] 人若在父家里，拉住自己一个兄弟，说：“你有一件外衣，你就作我们的官长吧！这败落的事就归你的手处理。”
[当代修] 那时，人会拉住一位同族的弟兄说：“你至少还有件像样的衣服，你就做我们的首领吧，这废墟之地就交给你了！”
[现代修] 到那日子，有人要在他自己的家族中选出一个人，说：“在这艰难的日子，你总算还有一件外衣好穿，你来作我们的领袖吧。”
[吕振中] 人在他族弟兄的父家里抓住那人说：“你有外披，你可以做我们的独裁者，这败落堆就可以归你手下处理”，
[思高本] 那时，人要抓住自己家族里的一个弟兄说：“你还有一件外衣，你可作我们的领袖，这废墟即属于你手下。”
