Text and translations

Latin text 2:48b  Fili, quid fecisti nobis sic? Ego et pater tuus dolentes quaerebamus te. 2:49  Et ait ad illos: Quid est quod me quaerebatis? Nesciebatis quia in his quae Patris mei sunt oportet me esse? Hungarian translation 2:48b  Fiam! Miért tetted ezt velünk? Íme, apád és én bánkódva kerestünk téged. 2:49  Miért kerestetek engem? Nem tudtátok, hogy nekem az én Atyám dolgaiban kell lennem?

English translation 2:48b  Son, why hast thou done so to us? Behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 2:49  And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? Did you not know that I must be about my father's business?
