Die Jungfrau Israel ist gefallen, daß sie nicht wieder aufstehen wird; sie ist zu Boden gestoßen, und ist niemand, der ihr aufhelfe.
Cayó la virgen de Israel, no más podrá levantarse; dejada fue sobre su tierra, no hay quien la levante.
«Ha caído, no volverá a levantarse la virgen de Israel; yace abandonada en su tierra, no hay quien la levante».
Elle est tombée, elle ne se relèvera plus, La vierge d'Israël; Elle est couchée par terre, Nul ne la relève.
La vergine d’Israele è caduta, ella non risorgerà più; è abbandonata sopra la sua terra, non vi è niuno che la rilevi.
A virgem de Israel caiu, e não mais tornará a levantar-se; desamparada está na sua terra, não há quem a levante.
「 以色列 民 跌倒,不得再起; 躺在地上,無人扶起。」
