For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

Denn es steht geschrieben: "Sei fröhlich, du Unfruchtbare, die du nicht gebierst! Und brich hervor und rufe, die du nicht schwanger bist! Denn die Einsame hat viel mehr Kinder, denn die den Mann hat."
Porque está escrito: Alégrate, estéril, que no pares: Prorrumpe y clama, la que no estás de parto; Porque más son los hijos de la dejada, que de la que tiene marido.
Porque está escrito: «Alégrate, estéril, tú que no das a luz; prorrumpe en gritos, tú que no sufres dolores de parto, porque más numerosos son los hijos de la desolada que los de la que tiene esposo».
car il est écrit: Réjouis-toi, stérile, toi qui n'enfantes point! Eclate et pousse des cris, toi qui n'as pas éprouvé les douleurs de l'enfantement! Car les enfants de la délaissée seront plus nombreux Que les enfants de celle qui était mariée.
Poichè egli è scritto: Rallegrati, o sterile che non partorivi; prorompi, e grida, tu che non sentivi doglie di parto; perciocchè più saranno i figliuoli della lasciata, che di colei che avea il marito.
Porque está escrito: Alegra-te, estéril, que não dás à luz; Esforça-te e clama, tu que não estás de parto; Porque os filhos da solitária são mais do que os da que tem marido.
因為經上記著: 不懷孕、不生養的,你要歡樂; 未曾經過產難的,你要高聲歡呼; 因為沒有丈夫的,比有丈夫的有更多的兒女。
