C'est pour cela qu'il était payé, pour que j'eusse peur et que je fisse ainsi et péchasse, et qu'ils eussent de quoi me faire un mauvais renom, afin de me couvrir d'opprobre.

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Ils l'avaient soudoyé afin que, par crainte et en péchant, j'en agisse ainsi, et que, m'étant fait un mauvais renom, ils pussent me couvrir d'opprobre.
Louis Segond (1910)
En le gagnant ainsi, ils espéraient que j'aurais peur, et que je suivrais ses avis et commettrais un péché; et ils auraient profité de cette atteinte à ma réputation pour me couvrir d'opprobre.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Car il était leur pensionnaire pour m'épouvanter, et pour m'obliger à agir de la sorte, et à commettre cette faute, afin qu'ils eussent quelque mauvaise chose à me reprocher.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so,

and sin,.... By distrusting the power and providence of God to protect him, and by going into such a part of the temple, which he, being no priest, had no right to go into:

and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me; as a rebel and traitor against the king, which had been reported of him, and which would be strengthened by such a step.
