רַ֧ק בַּאֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ חָשַׁ֥ק יְהוָ֖ה לְאַהֲבָ֣ה אוֹתָ֑ם וַיִּבְחַ֞ר בְּזַרְעָ֣ם אַחֲרֵיהֶ֗ם בָּכֶ֛ם מִכָּל־הָעַמִּ֖ים כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּה׃
Namun, hanya kepada nenek moyangmulah hati Yang Mahakekal terpikat sehingga Ia mengasihi mereka, dan Ia memilih keturunan mereka sesudah mereka, yaitu kamu, dari antara segala bangsa, seperti keadaan pada hari ini.
Targum Jonathan
Only the Lord had pleasure in your fathers, and because He would love you He hath had favour to their children after them, as you, above all the nations upon the face of the earth, at the time of this day.
