And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.

KJV

Egrediente autem anima præ dolore, et imminente jam morte, vocavit nomen filii sui Benomi, id est, Filius doloris mei : pater vero appellavit eum Benjamin, id est, Filius dextræ.

Vulgate

ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχήν, ἀπέθνησκεν γάρ, ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου· ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Βενιαμείν.

LXX
